To think I win the crap present award

[numbum]

MIL bought me these

Who the actual fuck wears things like that?? She hates me doesn't she

AIBU to think I win the award for the worst present or did someone get something worse?

Well I think they are fabulous!! I would have loved those for my present. If you don't want them I'll take them of your hands!

I hate to say it but they make me think of Gary Glitter! Yuk.

What outfit could possibly go with them?

YANBU - she clearly does hate you

Sorry but they don't beat TSC's MIL's gift..

Also, I would wear them.what size are they? I'm serious, I have eclectic dress sense

Your MIL is telling you she thinks you're a whore. Merry Christmas.

Well they could be a fun gift for the right person. Seems like she thinks you have a sense humour, or are very very young.

I love them

Size 8?

Well they are certainly very special - I think you win.

My MIL got me (from a charity shop) a rectangular metal box, with green enamel flowers on the lid. Only, some of the petals were missing the enamel bits, which had obviously got broken and fallen out at some stage.

Three years ago she gave me a chipped bowl (salad size) from her loft and place mats with a picture of my DH's old school on them. Two years ago she gave me a hideous jar and vase that she had rescued from my DH's late grandmother's house in the house clearance. She said that she thought they would match the bathroom. We'd just moved into a new house and hasn't decided yet how to redecorate the bathroom.

Agree about the egg separator! and the shoes are just grotesque.
How about this for a tasteless gift? (Doesnt actually work by the way.)

And when I think how much time and trouble I went to to get something the person who gave it to me had told me they wanted......

Those shoes are hilarious. DP wants to know if you're a Rockabilly?!

THat egg separator actually made me heave, I have a huge aversion to snot, not great when you have a stinking cold as I do atm!

And those shoes are so weird! Presumably you are not normally to be seen in that type of thing, so its a very random present! Say they dont fit and ask for the receipt to exchange them, hopefully she didnt buy them in the sale so you could get a nice dress out of it!

OMG those shoes are horrendous. This year my DM gave me a box of clingfilm, wrapped up very nicely. I guess at least I will use it.

Ok shoes if you are a 16yo hipster girl. and they were a different colour

Are you OP?

This has made me laugh so much!!!

Just half an hour ago, my 18 year old daughter showed these very shoes to me saying that she loved then and was going to buy them for herself .

So I've shown her this thread - apparently you have to be hip to wear them :)

Those shoes are pretty dire.

I, however, received a can of deodorant from my grandma. Nothing fancy, this was common-or-garden Nivea spray-on deodorant, wrapped up and under the tree. I can only presume that it was a result of cataracts, a touch of confusion and going out shopping by herself!

I got one of those giant bars of Toblerone from my sister's boyfriend one year. He's a lovely bloke and we do get on very well, but he'd clearly gone out to Woolies (RIP) on Xmas Eve and picked up the first thing he saw (that cost £2). I'm not even a real fan of chocolate so it was a complete waste (I binned most of it when I rediscovered it at the back of a cupboard some time in July later that year).

my fil bought DH that jml shower feet thing. in bright pink.

find out her shoe size and then say that because she liked them enough to buy some for you you decided to get her some for her birthday

I thought they couldn't be that bad.
I was wrong.

Brothel creepers?!

I doubt she thinks you are a whore or that she knows that they are called.

She clearly sees you as young and trendy.

Ooh they are bad! My usually thoughtful DM has recently lost a lot of weight. On a recent shopping trip I pointed out a dress I was saving up for. She immediately bought it for herself. But then what do I open on Christmas day, the same dress, with a note explaining she is too slim for it now but it will probably fit me! Yeh if I was two clothes sizes bigger!

Oh dear, would you like to swap them for the size 8 bed jacket my MIL got me? I am 41, not 91 and defo not a size 8.

hahaha! At least you must have had a quiet snigger later on?? Will she expect you to be wearig them next time you go to visit her? I think you should- with a tutu and a top held together with safety pins...
