What is the worst Christmas or birthday gift you have ever received?

daisiesinwinter: What is the worst Christmas or birthday gift you have ever received?
I have a family member who is notorious for giving awful Christmas gifts. One year I got a George Foreman grill cleaning sponge, but no George Foreman grill and I didn’t already own one. If you’ve never seen the George Foreman grill cleaning sponge, it is very specific to that grill and would have little use for anything else.

What’s the worst gift you have ever received for Christmas or otherwise?

my aunt is super skinny. she’s around 5’5 and weighs maybe 90 pounds? and she’s proud of it, even though she’s like 50, she still thinks she’s hot because she’s so skinny but she looks gross more than hot. but she likes to make all of us normal sized people like me, okay, i’m 4’11 and weigh about 115 pounds. yeah i’m not skinny but i’m not fat either. but she always goes christmas shopping for my grandpa and she’ll get me shirts or sweatpants or something that are XL. uh, i wear a medium thank you. i hate that! she does it for everyone

My worst gift was no gift at all. My idea on gift-giving, is that as long as the person took the time to pick something out and wrap it, or make the gift, then it’s good enough for me. I got toilet paper one year. I didn’t care, because hey, everyone can use tp, right? It’s just the fact that when you are the only person without a gift under the tree, it can make you feel sad and you feel as if you weren’t worth the time to even have something re-gifted to you.

for my birthday when i was younger my aunt gave me a kitten knowing darn well that my parents would not let me keep it. i cried and cried. looking back now it was a really mean thing to do to a little girl! it wasnt a bad gift or anything but it was the worst thing to give someone something they couldnt keep!

Last year I got a battery organizer. It was a plain white plastic box that organizes your batteries, so you can store them in the fridge. It was from my Grandpa. lol

Last night, I hosted my basketball team’s Christmas party. In the secret santa, I got my friend a box of chocolates and $ 20 to Jamba Juice. We were supposed to spend $ 20. My gift was… a candle. One candle. I pretended to really like it, and the girl goes, my mom made it. Later, I saw that there was a little company logo and sticker on the bottom. I’m 15, and my mom’s not even going to let me burn it in my room.

Several years ago, when my twin brother and I were 9, my neighbors got him bike gloves, an expensive ramp, and other bike accessories. I got a magnetic tic-tac-toe board to “share” with him. The nest year they actually didn’t get me anything and gave him a $ 50 check. It was so awkward just standing there…

When I was 11, my mom’s friend got us nutcrackers. it was weird.

Five times for Hanukkah my grandma has given me velour sweat outfits, even though I have never, not one, worn any kind of sweats, as I think they are horrendous. Better yet, she gets them in XS or S because “I’m skinny.” I may be, but I’m also 5’10”
