What was the shittest present you ever received?

[BrightonOrLancaster]

Christmas I was 13, got a lacy training bra from an aunt I wasnt close to. WTF? I had to open it in front of family, was fucking mortified.

Birthday present from ex: dumbbells with flashing colour changing lights from ALDI. Lol. No comment

I was 8 and asked for a Donny Osmond mug. I got a David Cassidy one. I cried.

A book from the 90s on how to apply make up…it was 2006, obv she didnt like how i did my make up

A pack of handkerchiefs.
I was 18.
My brother got a motorbike. An actual motorbike. A fucking motorbike.
From our dad.

My STBXH got me nothing for my 30th birthday.

He did appear with a bunch of supermarket bought flowers at around 5pm. When i later expressed my disappointment he threw them in the bin.

Delightful man.

In all honesty I'd really like the fairy-light dumbbells!

My DH's first Xmas present to me was a massive disappointment. An office printer!!!!!!!!!!! He thought I'd be thrilled to bits as it was a technology upgrade.

Box of nutty chocolate from my mum. I'm allergic to nuts

I got a lovely collection of sticker books last year from my Gran. I was 30, and very confused as to why someone could get a small gift quite so wrong.

Then I spoke to my big brother, whose 2 year old had been given a recipe book.

Clearly Gran had forgotten which present was which, as niece and I have very similar names. Gifts exchanged a few days later and everyone was happy.

Any clothing item from my mum. I'm a 6/8, and shell get me stuff in 12-14 every bloody time. Is such a ball ache doing the returns.

Photo frame from a mate aged 13
A soup maker from dp on my birthday.

Hub caps

Wrapped up in a big box that I had been expectantly looking at all week hoping for a nice surprise.

A full size painting of myself but he used a photo to create it which was 7 years old!!!

I adore DH and we still have it above the bed but I don’t know what possessed him. I rarely look in the mirror so why would I want a full size painting?

My narcissistic ex bought me a box of quality street (which I hate!) even though I was on a diet AND not one, but two, identical 500ml water bottles for Xmas a few years back. That wasn’t even the year I dumped him!! 🤦🏼‍♀️

A black print headscarf from my MIL, which actually belonged to her. I could still smell the cigarette smoke and her rancid Coty L'aimant perfume on it when I opened the present!!😄😄

CantThinkOfaUserNameAgain part of me would cringe if my otherhalf did that but on the other hand its brilliant as he clearly adores you

Enjoy!

Ironing board cover from MIL apparently I needed a new one 😅🤣😂

A "grow your own" boyfriend.

My sister-in-law decided it would be hilarious to poke fun at my single status. Whilst I was living with PTSD from the abusive relationship I'd not long left.

Ex DH bought me a grey plastic mini bin one year......

STDG I love toilets.

The knitting a scarf for your dad pres is crap though.

Four Lilliput Lane ornaments when I was in my early 20’s from an aunt and uncle.

Five items of clothing in a size 8-10 from DM when I was a size 16. She said it was an incentive for me to aim for. The whole lot went to the charity shop.

A lingerie washing bag from an aunt - three years in a row

A bottle of cheap conditioner for Dry hair

A writing paper set printed with cutesy pictures of baby seals

A grey thong from Tesco f&f that was 2 sizes too small from my boyfriends grandma. She bought each of his girlfriends one in the wrong size.

She also gave me a Santa mug as a gift........ In July

For Easter gift - an out of date Scooby Doo Halloween cake mix from Mil! (Never bought a cake mix in my life, but Mil told me she didn’t want me & OH to feel left out when she gave our DC their Easter gifts, and it was down to 10p at the checkout…!😳😳😳) Fit for the bin only!
Or
The time Mil found a closing down gift shop with named dinosaur produce - e.g Maryosaurus
And it was 3 for the price of 1, I was delighted to receive 2 (wtf?!?!) dinosaur shaped money boxes with Maryosaurus - every 41 year olds dream gift! 🤯🤯🤯🤷🏼‍♀️🤣
She is a bit of a family legend for crap presents and is regularly laughed at!

A baking tray and dustpan and brush from my first husband - I knew where I wanted to stick them all....

@allfurcoatnoknickers

When I was a tiny size 8-10 teenager, my mum bought me a twin set in size 18-20 and the said it looked like it would fit me

I get this every year with our 'christmas pyjamas'. Always beautiful silk pyjamas, bought 3 sizes too big because "I like them baggy" no I don't.

For my 11th birthday my dad got me two books of poetry. Not even good poetry, either. I was so disappointed but tried really hard to act like I was grateful.

For my 21st (by which point he'd been living in China for nearly three years), he got me a stuffed mascot for the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a hideous, boxy, synthetic, baby blue, machine knitted ribbed short sleeved jumper with a white collar. It made me look like a communist grandma.

We are no longer in touch!

Paracetamol and ibuprofen, every year without fail from my boyfriend.
