Massive pants from my mil (size 20 when I was at the time a size 12) because “you’ve got a big bum”.

A fake loaf of bread covered in silk flowers with a mouse on it.

From my mother. 🙄🙄🙄
Absolutely hideous.

A Tefal frying pan from mil on presenting her with a dgd after 6 dgs. Wanted to pan her head in tbh. (wanted to anyway but welding the pan it was a struggle to resist)

This Christmas - a tin of biscuits which had been opened and retaped shut using hairy sellotape. Biscuits were all nutty and dh is allergic. The giver was a life long friend of dh who has seen him in anaphylactic shock.

Electric Egg Poacher (egg shaped).......so much more problematic than a gently simmering frying pan of water.

A hairbrush from the 99p shop. Not even wrapped. 😂😂😂

When I was 16, a school friend present me with one earring. She apprantly forgot the other one at home and would give it to me at another time. I never received it and didn’t want to mention it.

Secret Santa at work - £20 gift. After making an awesome hamper for my colleague with thoughtful treats inside I then received a broken Avon watch which was clearly used and the leather badly worn.
What really put the cherry on the cake was the fact it had been shoved into one of our workplace envelopes and had a used gift bow blu-tacked to the front Confused

My ex mother in law gave me one of those pins you buy for £2-3 supporting a charity.
The pin was for ovarian cancer.
The card that came with it said sorry it's the wrong one.
My mother has terminal breast cancer.

My EXMIL once gave me one of the free calendars you get from a Chinese take away along with some oven gloves and a couple of tea towels. They were so odd at the time I found this quite normal!!!!

A plastic mirror shaped like a splat and a small bag of maltesers. I think he had a budget and had 50p left over so splurged on a sweeties. Tightest bugger I've ever met.
