I can relate to this one..........my Binky brings me mice all the time, although since she is an indoor kitty she brings me the little furry fake ones.........I find the things in my bed, in my shoes, outside the shower on the mat and sometimes she brings them to me and screams until I tell her what a great little huntress she is!

I got a chain with my name on it last year from my husband. I am never telling him I don't want something again! I think he thought I said I did want it!

I got the DVD of the Buffy movie when I asked for DVD's of the show(but it was a honest mistake)

One year dh's brother gave us a taped version of a cd he had bought us. He decided to listen to the cd first, liked it so much, he taped it and gave us the tape! LOL! His wife thought it was a great idea too?

Boy, do I have some to add to this list.
Well, back when my MIL and I WERE talking, she made it known that she didn't like me. For years, and I'm talking like 5 or 6 years she always gave my husband something nice and me crap. One one year for example, he got a leather coat and I got 2 UGLY sweaters that she used to wear. She told me that she had lost weight and thought that I could fit them. Gee, that was 2 insults right there!
She also has only given our oldest son a gift 2 twice in his seven years. Once was at his first b-day party, it was diapers wrapped up like a present.
The worst gift my husband gave me was Magic cards for Christmas. I don't play that game, but he does, so basically he was buying them for himself. But, that was many years ago, and I do all the shopping now, even for myself.

People are not good at buying gifts around here. I am not sure what the WORST one I have ever gotten would be.... probably would be those stupid "Hickory Farm" packs. I don't like that stuff and end up throwing it away anyways.

My sister & BIL gave me a lady figuirine a few yrs back. I had to white lie and say how lovely it was but I thought it was really ugly!

My mom always buys me clothes that a 10 year old would wear . I told he stop buying me clothes. Now she buys me my barbies

Two years ago my MIL gave me one of those Perfect Pancake makers. I thought it was a joke, but then when that was all she gave me I realized that was MY present. I took it to WalMart and got $14 on a gift card to buy myself something more useful!!

My DH's dad got me a 9x13 pan, personalized with "from the kitchen of..." and a nice lid. Now, the problem with the gift is that I don't cook, and everyone knows it. And the second thing is, the gift was for Mother's Day..... and we don't have any kids. Not the worst gift I've ever gotten, but defenitely the weirdest...

Where's Stepharoonie? She's had some great "bad gift stories" in the past!


Pair of scissors from my grandmother. She has also sent ugly slippers, notepads, makeup cases, and other "no imagination used whatsoever" gifts.


Got a Chia pet once as a gift as a pollyanna. Guess they picked it up near the checkout at the drug store on the way!

When I was little my grandma's Christmas gift to me was a white sweatshirt with pictures of makeup applique'd on it. There was a lipstick tube, and blush, and I don't even remember what else. I had never worn makeup and was not at all a girly-girl, and it was just plain ugly anyway.

When we first moved up here, my son was in the 5th grade and we were really broke. I gave him $10 to get me a Christmas gift, and $10 to my daughter to get him something. I got a $.89 snowglobe from Walgreens from the both of them.

The absolute worst was for my birthday from my first (now ex) husband, after I'd graduated from law school. He got me a Mont Blanc fountain pen. Not a nice slim pen, but a hugely fat one, like a large man would use (and I'm a small woman). I could hardly get my hand around the thing. And it didn't even use ink cartidges...you were really supposed to fill the tube with ink from a bottle! Since I knew that the pen cost about $200 (!), I thanked him and asked him to take it back (saying that it was too expensive/elaborate, not that I hated it). He got mad but took it back and didn't replace it with anything...so instead of having a huge, useless, messy, expensive pen for my birthday, I had nothing.

A white chocolate bunny my cousin gave dh and I one easter. We both get nauseous just thinking about white chocolate.

A Canada Goose plastic lawn ornament- as a wedding present!!

I have no idea what might have posses the givers- they were old friends of my Mom's. They knew we were 'outdoorsey' so I guess they thought we needed such in our yard in NH!!

Go figure!

My stepmother once gave me an electric razor for Christmas, I found that odd. For my birthday one year (I was in my early 20's) she gave me a pom pom making kit!!???

For our wedding we got a Strawberry Shortcake character carafe and glasses from someone in our wedding party.

Worst gift my dh gave me was an oil lamp with a confederate bill on it. The Dolly Parton concert we were supposed to go to was cancelled and he thought that would make up for it. He has never ever lived that down LOL!

ANYTHING from my MIL. For xmas, I would get a HORRIBLE sweater--three years in a row. From places that I couldn't even return them, so they went straight into the charity box. Last year, she actually gave me a $5 dollar teddy bear with the (really big) price tag still on. I would so much prefer she get me nothing. And it's not the thought that counts. There was NO thought put into these things.

All of the gifts that I'm about to mention are from DH's fathers girlfriend

In 2001 she got DH and his twin a set of flashlights for Christmas. She got me and my SIL two white towels with one (only) one wash cloth. Both of our family's have four people in them. What were we going to do with two towels and one wash cloth.

One year she got the kids these glasses called "Bug Eyes" the glasses looked like fly eyes and when the kids don'ed the glasses you could see all sorts of bugs. Needless to say all of the kids were scared of them. We are talking about kids in the age range of 2-5. None of the kids ever wanted to play with them and wanted to throw them in the trash.

Another year she got DH's aunt Jean Nate' perfume.

Everyone kringes when they recieve gifts from her. The embarrasment of opening them in front of the family is way too much to bear. It's like a contest to see who gets the worst gift.
