Whats the worst gift you ever recieved?

My uncle gave me a People magazine for Christmas that had been chewed up by his dog. I couldn't believe it.

Our worst gift was a wedding present we received from MIL's friends.
We had a handheld mixer on our registry. Well, these people gave us a handheld mixer but right away the box was beat up & written on!!!
Then when we opened the box, yes there was a handheld mixer in there but it was used & not only used but DIRTY!!!!!
It was SO gross!
DH & I didn't know what to think, we still don't know what was the meaning behind that gift.
It was pretty bad....it went RIGHT in the TRASH!

My (Great)Aunt Mary was always the worst in the gift department. If you were lucky you would get a $2 bill, it not it would be Fig Newtons, a used coloring book, or one time my cousin got a pair of PJ's that must have been from when her son was a kid (at least 30 years before) and the moth's had got to them. At least they hadn't been worn.

A 3500 piece puzzle from an office co-worker. It was a family gift for Christmas, but no one in my family likes puzzles. It just sits there in the dining room, collecting dust.

I'm trying to write this with no one at home seeing this. About 9 years ago, I was going out with a very mild mannered guy. One year, he seemed very excited about the birthday gift he got me. When he handed me the box, i was pretty sure it was a piece of clothing. Well, when I opened it up, I didn't know what to say. It was some leather and chain lingerie. A leather thong, held together with chains. I could describe more. If you knew this guy, you would have been as shocked as I was!

Aside from twelve sets of wooden spoons for our wedding, showers, etc. I did receive one pair of hand-made underwear!

The woman is a friend my MIL's and she took pride in the fact that all her daughters loved the undies she made. I guess she thought I'd like some too.

Never could bring myself to even try them on.

One year, for my Secret Santa "big & last day" gift, I got a batch of "sick & gross" joke books. The co-worker who gave them to me (after good small gifts) said, "When I saw them, I thought of you!". Now, I have never told a sick or gross joke in my life. I don't know why she thought I'd like them. I thanked her, and the first chance I got, they went in the garbarge!

The worst gift I ever rec'd was a basket of Mary kay make up. Now I know its $$$ and many love it but I dont wear make up. Everyone who knows me knows I rarely ever put on any at all and this gift was from my mil.

I thought of another MIL gift. For my wedding shower she gave me several small things (off my registry) and then a set of UGLY glasses. She said, "I know, they're not on your registry, but I thought they were so pretty." OK, lady, for your next gift I'm going to Old Navy and I'm getting you a halter top that I think is "pretty". This woman and I could not be anymore different. What makes her think we have the same taste in glasses? Especially since I DIDN'T register for them.

My ex-SIL was the queen of crappy giftgiving and was the ultimate regifter.

One year she gave me a Land's End purse mirror that she had received as a Thank You gift from them. She sent it in the box that it came in which had stamped on it "A Free Thank You from Land's End".

Thank God she is an Ex.

My Grandmother gave me a turkey she cooked (very dried out), and then because i didn't go get it that day, she warped it very badly in tin foil and froze it, so when I went the next morning to pick it up, i received a freezer burnt dried out turkey with the giblets still in it turkey. I was grossed out, and the turkey went right in the trash. This year we are no exchanging presents with her. My aunt also gave me three trinkets from the dollar store with the dollar store tag on them.
