Worst Present Ever

juliebug1997 · December 2009

What's the worst present you ever got? From anyone for any reason.

I got tires one year.

My step dad's extended family is a little "backwoodsy". One year we did the Christmas exchange game where you draw numbers and can steal a gift 3 times.....the rules were everyone was to bring a new $25 gift to play. My gift turned out to be a cheap tarnished watch with a broken face.....no doubt a re-gift from about 8 years ago!

I mostly love presents...but this one was just wacko to me.

A mirror on Valentine's from an ex because: "What you see in it is what I love."

I had to read a poem that went with it and at the end of the poem pull out the mirror and look at myself.

*barf*

Sorry....is that mean?

Julie--- I'd actually love to get tires. They're so expensive! hehe...def not sentimental or anything, but I'd dig it.

I agree with Cheryl, as long as it's useless, I wouldn't consider it a horrible gift. Of course I'm probably not going to go tell everyone that I got a sweet set of tires for Christmas.

My worst gift ever (that I can think of without trying really hard) is a My Little Pony that my BIL got me last year. Granted, I loved My Little Pony, but that was 20 years ago. I have absolutely no idea what to do with the toy, and I really want to give it away to a kid that might appreciate it.

I have to say when my parents gave me a coffee cup for my 16th birthday. I don't even really drink coffee just every now and then. Not to mention the fact that it was my 16th birthday.

Which reminds me, I got a <em>realllly </em>used (possibly dirty) coffee cup with a "Happy Birthday" banner in pieces. Thanks mom. You always got everyone THE weirdest stuff.

Julie, I'd take those tires. Seriously. I need a new set and so does Steve. I don't even want to think about how expensive that's going to be.

Worst gift? Panties. When I was like 6. I had to open this gift in front of my whole extended family. Talk about embarrassing. If that happened now, I'd be all like, "sweet" and stuff because who doesn't need/use new underwear? But at that age, I'd rather eat dirt than open up a package of Jockey's.

Hehe, I ASKED for tires for Xmas but I doubt I'll get them, too expensive!

I like all gifts because I think they are all well intentioned. But the most useless one I ever got was an asparagus steamer, a special pot just for steaming asparagus (or other long skinny vegetables??). It was just really useless considering I already have an all purpose steamer pot... and took up precious kitchen cabinet space.

For my sixteenth birthday, my parents built up my gift reaalllyy big. They said they spend hundreds of dollars on it and that they just knew I was going to really like it. (I was thinking IPOD... computer... hey, maybe even a cheap car?!) A hope chest. ...yay?

For my 21st birthday they got me some plastic bed risers from Target and a yorkie magnet.

Last year for Christmas... my parents got me a massage envy gift card and a bunch of $1.00 items from Target... tic tac toe game, christmas tree playing cards, etc. Granted, they were paying for a wedding.

juliebug1997 · December 2009

I guess I wouldn't have minded the tires if it hadn't been for Christmas.

PS: I love Discount Tire.

Mariah09202008 · December 2009

Discount tire is flipping awesome.

Terriniski · December 2009

My godparents once gave me a makeup bag/tote that my godmother likely got for free at some department store counter and they put a razor and deoderant in it. Is a puberty-themed gift really necessary?

danielle0789 · December 2009

I dont remember ever getting something bad for Christmas. Now, the worst WEDDING gift? Some plates and bowls that my aunt gave me that I know she used. They were the ugliest things I've ever seen!

Anyone want some plates and bowls?? lol.

I got a pictuer of my grandmother...from my grandmother...and that's it...It was really random. It's not like it was a special photograph that had a special meaning behind it or anything like that even..it was just like a photograph against a backdrop. Everyone got them that year. We laugh about it now though. Is that an old people thing?

nae82 · December 2009

We draw names every year for Christmas (extended family)

Last year (I think it was) my cousin drew my name. She had just gotten married a couple months before. I got one of those reed air freshener things... the scent was Linen.. I can't stad that scent. I also got some cheesy throw blanket.. obviously regifted wedding presents from her.
