The ugliest present ever!

[Sonya]

My dear aunt gave one to us and my parents. I love her dearly but she is slipping! She also gave me a book on potty training DS (thanks), a rainbow picture frame, salt and pepper shakers, and a VHS tape about Sydney Pollack.

Is it a vase?

 

[Sonya]

Yes, and a good sized one at that.
Michie, if you send me your address, I'll send you 2 of them!

 

[PixieDust32]

It looks huge !!!

 

[diznygirl]

Sell it on ebay - maybe it's worth a million bucks to some collector!!

 

[mrsv98]

That's.....ummmm.......lovely! Thanks Auntie!

 

[Sonya]

So if I sell it on ebay, how do I advertise for it? "Worlds ugliest vase" doesn't cut it!

 

[Sonya]

OMG- it's there! (or pretty close)

niether do I, just something you can use next Christmas

 

[Michie]

Is it big enough to put some mums in or maybe some sprigs of holly?

 

[Sonya]

Lets just say I'm SO not into hearts. To each his own!

 

[jamzots]

OMG, don't even know what I would do with that!!!

 

[mrsv98]

Taking a second look at it, it might be a Lennox piece, did you look to see? Maybe she thinks it is a collector's piece?

Regift or ebay: "Lovely Christmas Vase--set of 2" Don't forget to get them to insure it. You sure don't want to have to find another to replace if the USPS broke it.

I am so sorry. I have "well meaning" family also. I usually regift. If it is something I just cannot stand, I give to an acquaintance. And they think I am so thoughtful for giving them something. If only they knew...

It's not my style but I've seen worse.

I agree, check the bottom to see what the brand is.

Oh no, it's not valuable. The boxes look like they were stored someplace damp and they also look kind of old, like from the 70s. I'm sure she bought them at a garage sale or maybe Recovery Sales. That is where she usually shops. And yes, she does mean well. She is my favorite aunt!
