Worst present you've ever received?

BreakTheseLinks · 2010-12-18 09:04:38

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?

my grandma bought me a remote control helicopter. let me repeat it for emphasis. a REMOTE CONTROL HELICOPTER!!! pygmahia5

That sounds like a totally sweet present dude. Ungrateful much? For me, it wasn't exactly a bad present but just a somewhat clinical one. My family's kitchen didn't have a microwave so lo and behold, my present was a microwave. Nice to have but a little impersonal.

For me, it was a case of beer, not that I dont like beer but when I picked up the present it was heavy, so I thought it was something really good. Not too bad though, I drank them all.

i had a auntie Pam (wasn't related, just a friend of the family) and she always got terrible presents for everyone. one year when i was about 16 she got me a backpack...it was green blue and pink pastel colours.

one year she got me a load of sweets and i was happily eating them until i found a curly hair, i was almost sick all over the floor.

another time she just got me some bathroom scales.
