Worst present you've ever received?

So being that it's the season of gift giving I am reminded off all the nice things I have been given throughout my life. And then I'm reminded of the not-so-good things I've received. Yes, one should be grateful of any gift received but let's face it, some gifts are crap.

I got my worst gift about 4 years ago. I had a girlfriend at the time and decided I was going to get her something special. She was a big LotR fan so I got her a first edition of The Fellowship of the Ring (was pricey but I got a deal because it lacked the jacket and wasn't in perfect shape). I also got her some perfume. When x-mas rolled around we exchanged our gifts and I remember how awesome it was to see her light up when she unwrapped TFofT. She was ecstatic. Then she gave me my gift.....WTF....? IT WAS A GODDAMN CHIA PET! Needless to say I was crushed that she spent so little time finding a gift for me considering how much of a pain in the ass it was to find that stupid book. Worst. Gift. Ever.

So, OT, what is you worst gift ever?

Syphilis :(xaos

I got a floor length red fleece nightgown with lace ruffles round the bottom, arms and neck. AKA hideous, I wouldn't even hack it into a bath mat, it was that bad. Or, a box of scalloped potatoes. But I like those so that was okay, I guess.XilePrincess

Me and my wife make it easy and buy each other one thing we asked for, and one thing that's a surprise.

I'd have to say, though, that the worst gifts used to come from my grand parents. ALWAYS clothes that I didn't like. Then when I became a teenager they got wise and gave me money. :P

I remember getting little kid's gifts as a young teen from my relatives. That was super embarrassing.msudude211

Same here. Even to this day (I'm now 24) my gradma crochets me a sweater every year. She means well, though, so it's hard to refuse. :PBreakTheseLinks

They still give me cash. Now it's getting bigger, though, because they're giving it for three.

Some massive gothic-style dragon ashtray. I don't even know.

50 Cent: Bulletproof. :(fidosim

Nah. I think it's in my closet at home somewhere, still in the plastic wrap. :P Maybe I should take it to gamestop and see if they'll buy it for 50 cents. fidosim

Make sure you unwrap it and open it, first. They don't accept games still in the wrap without a receipt. I found that out the hard way. Then I just went to another GameStop and unwrapped it before I went in. :)

a single dollar and a note saying I wasnt here real grandson from my grandma on my stepdads side of the family. It wouldnt be so bad if the other grand kids didnt get 50 bucks (including my best friend whose also only a "step" grand child) Now she just gets me an ornament every year tho

Bwahahah, I am awarding this...

This is awful. Talk about immature and heartless.

I don't recall; this really isn't much of a concern for me.

A pack of caprisuns :(.

A broken ornament...:lol:

I honestly don't know, perhaps a jean t-shirt with pockets...
I notice a lot of people seem really pissy about their gifts. Like it's all supposed to be held to a certain standard when giving something.
It's like someone is giving you something you don't like on purpose. They're trying to be nice. :/

How is that a bad gift though? they're delicious! :P

Ehh, I was a little kid. I wanted a bad ass action figure. E.G:

When I turned 14 my dad got me a bunch of board games for Christmas, it was a nice thing to buy something we could do together, but we never even opened them if I remember right. :?

Maybe he wasn't really a board gaming guy. I think you should try and go play catch with him. He's waiting.

Actually it was my birthday this year. My grandfather got me this biography of Christian IV (king of denmark from way back). I tried reading it on a train ride to Berlin, but it was just so damn boring.
