What is the worst gift you have ever received?

[Frosty6611]

This is meant to be lighthearted.

What is the worst gift you ever received from someone? Mine was definitely a book about bicarbonate of soda from my grandma for Xmas one year

Frilly toilet roll holder and matching frilly basket bin.

An iron for Christmas ... That was the main gift apart from a load of other tat.

Haha,
My man bought me those bags with drawer scent stuff when I was 8 for my birthday.

My husband bought me a pack of fashion police post it notes and took me to Louis Vuitton on my 21st birthday to show me the bag he was going to buy me.... but didn’t because he didn’t have the money. We laugh now but I was quite annoyed given he took me into London, and we travelled across London to that very store, It might sound grabby but I’d spent that year keeping his business running and paying all of our household bills on my own, It felt like a really vindictive thing for him to do, he thought he was being thoughful lol.

My Mum used to go to Bovvy market and buy many of my Christmas presents, it was all very bad quality stuff, I asked for pjs from Asda instead, she continued, and the last year we received gifts I got a champneys set, looked about right until I got an allergic reaction- yep bovvy market.

My partner got a pair of thermal socks.

We received a bottle of lynx shower gel, both of us, to share.

Nicely wrapped bottle obviously wine. Opened with relish. It was alcohol free.

A gift box of Lush products..... off my MIL, it looked familiar I opened it and it still had the tag in it that I gave to her for Christmas 4 years ago. She re-gifted a present I gave to her 🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️
It was all out of date and hard

My Dad once got given three socks - nothing says Happy Birthday like almost two pairs of socks

Some string to tie up your roast. I don't really eat meat apart from chicken which they know and have never cooked a roast. I also received a pineapple corer at the same time..

A breadmaker and electric toothbrush.

Not that horrnedous but the context is that they were from my estranged husband who had been shagging someone else and it was his idea of wooing me back

I already had an electric toothbrush (he knew this) and the breadmaker was so I could bake fresh bread for our DD who was 12mths old and didn't sleep and I was about to go back to work

Size 22 -24 knickers. I was a size 12-14

A laundry basket and a set of bathroom scales from my mum when I was 16. An ironing board and a dictionary from ex-dp when I was 21.

Not me but for a 21st birthday present my boyfriend (now dh) was given one of those net bag things for the washing machine. It was given by a friend our own age, not some dotty aunt and he never figured out if it was supposed to be a joke or what.

A cheese grater from my now ex partner for my 21st Birthday. To be fair I’m still using it 14 years later - it’s great but at the time I was thinking WTF.

My ex husband bought a fitness dvd from my children one year for Xmas.
Needless to say he couldn’t understand why I thought it was rude as most of his friends would laugh. I pointed out I am not your friend. X

"How to dress" by Gok Wan, from someone who had made several past digs about my dress sense. Made better by the very awkward pause when everyone saw what it was. I was entertained, like I gave a shit what they thought of my clothes anyway ha ha!

Nothing as bad as some of these on here to be honest.

My aunt usually gives bad presents, but mainly to my dad (her brother). I usually get a purse that's ugly and make up that I give to my mum as I don't wear it. It's usually good make up though I just never use make up.

I had to tell my mum to stop buying me clothes though. She says she likes to buy presents, but really she just likes to buy what she likes and not what the person receiving it likes. The clothes were always to her taste and never mine, so I never wore them. Told her to stop so that she would stop wasting her money.

Also, after I caught my ex -hubby cheating with prostitutes I read in great detail the things he wanted done.
The next day he went and bought me sexy underwear from Ann summers as a sorry gift. X

Before I married DH he went on holiday without me, he brought me back a present.....a reindeer skin toilet seat cover.

I still married him and he still hasn't improved on the present front. It was my birthday last week and I only got a card from him and the DC. He thinks I am fussy, I am really not, so if I want anything I have to buy for myself.

My Dsis is also really bad at remembering birthdays etc, so I didn't get anything for my birthday from her last week not even a Happy Birthday text.

However one Christmas we set a limit of £10 so we could get a small but thoughtful gift for everyone without breaking the bank. She bought me cupcake cases, they were fancy ones but still I wasn't impressed as I remember searching for ages for something for her. Now we just buy for our own DC on the others behalf.

Rockiemere tell you MIL that the cling film always reminds you of the film grease. She won't have a clue why.

Grease(1978)

The saran wrap that Danny waves around and throws around the car in the number is a symbol for the prophylactics that men in the 1950s used to use: they would wrap themselves in saran wrap or cellophane before sex; thinking this was an effective prophylactic (it wasn't). Travolta was told not to do anything sexual with the Cellophane in the number by Randall Kleiser and the producers; they wanted the symbolism to be subtle to avoid an R rating. But Travolta disobeyed this and rubbed his crotch with the cellophane in the number anyway; and this made it into the final cut of the movie.

Pre marriage My dh got red furry handcuffs for Christmas from my dm... to lock me to the kitchen sink 😂

Figment those aren't egg timers! They're decorative, they were huge in the 90s. Executive toys or some such.

My nanna got me some shiny padded coat hangers one Christmas, I was about 16. My evil bitch auntie got me a hand soap thing, like the kind you have on your bathroom sink, with a ‘half price only £1’ sticker on for my 21st. Last year for Christmas she gave me two beauty type items from a multipack of cheap crap, DM and DSis received the rest, complete with little bits of glue on the bottom of the bottles/tubes where she’d pulled them out of the packaging.

Wrinkle cream when I was 12, off my dad!

Ex got me an iron door knocker for valaintines day.. our door was plastic and we were renting anyway so I couldn't put on the front door even if I wanted to.

A hand towel from the ex mil. Nothing else.
