What would be the ^worst^ and most unsuitable Christmas present you could possibly receive?

[moondog]

For moi I think gift set of cheap oil 'infused' with some grass herbs along with some dried out spices and a crap mortar and pestle.

[moondog]

Also big boxs of chocolates (yuck) and a wine box of something like Piesporter or Country Manor.

[moondog]

Bored board games partic. drinking ones.
Why on earth do I need an excuse to drink?

[ilovetochat]

i've had earings off my uncle before and have never had my ears pierced. had 9 bottles of wine last year and i was bf so wasn't drinking.

A rom com DVD.

an ABBA boxset

[moondog]

Dear God, why do we do it????
There exists an entire tanker full of candles/toiletry sets/dvds that never get used-just fly from one person to other and eventually end up in British Heart Foundation.

My hairdryer was on its way out so dh bought another one for me and hid it for Christmas. Fortunately dd told me (4.5, completely unable to keep secrets ) so when the hairdryer did conk out I didn't go and get another one and just asked dh for the new one! I am so glad, I would probably have hit him over the head with it if I'd unwrapped it on Christmas Day. Hairdryers are up there with liquidisers and irons imo - household gadgets that are useful but not Christmaspresentworthy.

[moondog]

A box set of anything would horrify me.

I once got a huge chunky address book that was tied in to that tv programme 'Coast'.

Eh?????

[Nyx]

Any type of bath toiletries for me (I take showers).

[moondog]

While I'm on subject, waht is point of shower gel?
Put it on and its straight down the plughole?

[Booboobedoo]

My MIL gave me a revolting home-made vodka-cake once.

She thinks I'm an alcoholic because I insist on bringing bubbly over on Christmas Day.

[nailpolish]

[moondog]

[TheCrackFox]

A gift set of jam. Why? Why? Why?

[moondog]

Ah yes, the slippers and cheese 'n port combo.

Classy. Very classy.

[nailpolish]

[Iklboo]

Candles
Bath oil (I can't stand baths, I prefer showers)
Drinking party games (i'm nearly sodding 40)
Wine we don't like (Country Manor, rose, Rougemont Castle - MIL only ever buys 'medium sweet' wine )
Chick flick films
Chick lit books

I am SO ungrateful

[moondog]

(I quite fancy some of those driving anthems though. Being a crazy devil may care SALT in my oh so sensible Renault people carrier tearing off to next ememrgency language group appointment.)

[Tanee58]

a full length white cotton nightie from my (now ex) MIL. just looking at it made me feel about 90.

but i love candles!

[nailpolish]

im an ungrateful cow too

last year elderly aunt of dhs gave me leather mule slippers
they were so horrible
i looked up at her beaming and she had the same pair on
omg i was so mortified
dh later informed me they cost £50!!!!
they were those van dal thingys

when i handed them into the bethany shop the woman at the counter im sure immediately puyt them on her own feet when i left

[moondog]

I am this far from taking nearest and dearest gently by the shoulders and saying

'Please I beg of you, don't buy me anything this year. Really, don't. You'd be doing me a huge favour.'

[nailpolish]

oh god no MD not driving anthems
status quo etc
