The Worst Present Ever 2009 Edition

[Petra]

It's almost that time again that we try (or don't really try that hard) to get our friends and loved ones gifts that they'll adore. Except some people um...fail at that. Miserably.

It's supposed to be the thought that counts, but I have to wonder sometimes if people's brains were attached to their heads when they picked out the gift. So, what was the worst Christmas present you've ever received?

Since my birthday is in December and people love to combine my birthday/christmas gift I'd have to say it was a box of 500 red pencils. I was 5...... :1orglaugh

I believe I've never gotten a bad present, let me come back to this.

My MIL likes to give me odds and ends that she picks up at Big Lots and the Dollar Tree. It's rather obvious how much she cares for me. *insert eye roll here*

Last year I got a can of peach pie filling. Seriously. She will fill a gift bag with random junk and give it to me.

Other winners from her include a pair of ********'s socks that said "Jesus Rocks". A broken picture frame. A magnetic notepad that had been used (had the indentations on it from where she used it). A pack of 4 ceramic thimbles that had 2 missing.

Sadly the gifts she give our ******** aren't much better.

Good thing I love that hubby of mine enough to overlook his wacky ***.

there's a rotating present in our ****** that is an ugly wooden platapus. she even has a huge necklace that says, hello my name is marcy. its the ugliest thing ever. originally my oldest sibling got it, hated it, gave to another sibling the next christmas, so for 9 years marcy has been gracing the homes of me or one my ********.....no idea where she'll end up this year. talk about a gift that keeps on giving.

Sounds like the fruit cake that gets sent around my ******. Thankfully shipping the damn thing to the NL is a tad expensive so I don't expect to see it anytime soon.

I once got a wind up radio. Lasted 5 minutes before it had to be wound again :crash:.

I think the worst gift I ever got was one of those singing fishes....urgh!!!

We're an ungrateful bunch of bastards aren't we?

In my ****** that is a "message" not a present.

 

[nelmes69]

A fish tank but no fish?!

stinky decomposing codfish... Isn't that in the Godfather? no matter lol, worst christmas present ever was definitely the stick my uncle got me. it came with a hook and sewing thread, so i assume it was a fishing rod.. I still have that hook pinned in my hat to this day but the stick is long gone with the other firewood lol
