 |
|
Saw this on the MSN boards and can't resist asking. What was the worst-ever present you've received for Christmas?
Mine has to be the CD of "Aaron Neville's Soulful Christmas" I got from my Aunt, who while being an absolute sweetheart of a lady is the worst gift-giver ever. Few voices would make me want to jump out the window of a moving car more than his...well, maybe Macy Gray, but that's beside the point.
Your turn! |

Easy. I got these two long spirally thingies from some classmates. Apparently they were hotdog cookers to use in a bbq. I know it's the thought that counts, but....  |

Can I post two, please?
Underwear. Every xmas my Grandmother sent my Sister and I cheap JC Penny underpants. EVERY YEAR. My Sister and I had a running joke about it. "Gee, I wonder what is in Gramma Carter's xmas package?" It feels like ...UNDERWEAR. Gramma was anal to the MAX.
The second? A vomit green ashtray with a bird or something on the rim. That went into File-9 immediately.

lol - that reminds me of the gifts my cheap aunt used to give me. I got a shaving kit (cream and aftershave) from aged 8 to 14. Yep - she stopped giving them the year I could have started using them  . |

My god mother gave me a one piece, fake overall, knit jumper in a lovely shade of pea-soup green. It was a great look for a fat kid.

I have a crazy bachelor uncle who just gives away random things from his apartment. He's old and retired now (the oldest uncle I have), and was going down to Arizona for the summer so I've already got my gift for this year. It was a bird watching book from about 1980.
The best gift I ever got from said uncle was a used tool belt that was actually still in decent shape. Other than that, it's been stuff like that bird watching book. Garage sale stuff that you can get 50 cents for if you're lucky enough to find someone interested.

It is amazing how one can change their mind about a common gift, though. I used to get socks every year from my one aunt. When you're a kid, this isn't that special, but when I turned 15 and older, this was great. At that age, while your parents still help out with your clothing budget, you don't want to spend it on socks, and you don't want to go down to a store to buy them with your parents, either. Those socks helped you save a trip.
And then in college, heck, you need pretty much everything including socks. It's a fantastic gift for teenagers to college kids, IMO.

I had an aunt (not a big deal, but she was loaded) who gave me Madonna's True Blue cassette in 1988. Now, at the time I was into GNR, Maiden and Ozzy, so it wasn't my type of music. Also, true Blue was almost 2 years old at that time, and she didn't take off the $2.99 sticker from the bargain bin.
Alas, it could have been worse. She gave my sister used lingerie. |

No it could have been much worse - she could have sent YOU the lingerie.

His sister's used lingerie. Now we're talking awful gifts.
You never know, N2W might be into the whole dirty underwear thing if it's (or can imagine it's) from a hot girl. But from his sister would be about as bad of a gift as possible. It might require years of therapy to get over.
