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

Not me, but my df wrapped up a yard broom for my dm. 🤦‍♀️ He said "Well, we needed one"

For my 30th a friend gave me a neon furry purse that had a raffle ticket still stuck to it. I opened the purse and inside was 9p in coppers and a piece of paper folded up. When I opened the paper it was some creepy love / apology letter talking about lots of 'adult' things. At one point a suicide threat was mentioned. It was wrote to Louise from Paul. I never let my friend know as I didn't want to embarrass her.

I often think about Louise and Paul and wonder if they managed to work things out.

Birthday present from an ex boyfriend... A book on how to dress as an older woman, featuring treats like 'don't worry, you can still wear mini skirts - just be sure to pair them with opaque tights'. What a load of bullshit anyway... but I was only turning 30!

On the year of my first Christmas since becoming a mum, DH bought me a huge pink, fleece, full length dressing gown with hearts on from British Home Stores. It was really ugly and the unsexiest thing ever. I was really upset and said to him that I felt that this is how he sees me now I'm a mother. Anyway, fast forward 11 years and I still have the dressing gown and wear it every day, it's the comfiest thing ever and I refuse to get a new one! He says it's the best £20 he ever spent.

Not me but my poor ex boyfriend. His parents gave him a bag of meat from the cut price butcher for his 30th birthday. No wonder he ended up so dour really....

Why do people go to great lengths to give shitty presents!! Knickers ! So many people got knickers, one even got used tights, 1/3rd mars bar!! 50p at a charity shop gets some nice thoughtful presents.
A used coffee mug, key rings, coin purse, a small box of special chocs (monty jingles cost £3), a pack of cards.

GET A BOOK. GET A FUCKING BOOK FROM A CHARITY SHOP WITH A LOVING NOTE AND DATE IT. Costs 50p

Some people are truly awful. Aren’t they !

Ex named a star after me.
Spelt my name wrong!
What a plank

Sexy satin nightwear from my then boyfriends mum..... 2 sizes too small 🙄.

A pair of pale blue bootie-type Thinsulate slippers that fastened at the sides with velcro like a 90 year old would wear from a long gone fiancé. That was my main, or perhaps only present, as my children were young and I was estranged from my family. They weren't the only reason the marriage didn't go ahead but they were the beginning of the end. Twat.

This year..... we have moved house this year and were asked what we needed. I said we could do with a new set of pans. DH aunt and uncle have gifted us ONE solitary saucepan for Xmas it is wrapped up in a bag under the tree. I wouldn't mind but they have a lot of money (think two holiday homes and only spend 3 months a year in UK) and it isn't even a large pan 😂

Also my mum (who I was estranged from for many years) brought me a happy Easter snowglobe....for my birthday.....in July....

When I was 13, I got a stapler and staples and was told to share it with my dad!
Now this is very unlike my mum and I can't remember if it was some sort of joke or if I got any other present, all that sticks in my mind is the disappointment of that present!

Christmas poo bags. I gave her a nice box of Hotel Chocolat chocolates.

This is why they have all that dosh!

DH's nasty, misogynistic, racist grandfather was always good for gifts.

The ?2nd Christmas we were together - the man of the family were given a bottle.of whiskey. The women? We were each gifted a plastic, magnifying reversing mirror to put on the rear window of our cars. MiL also got a two pack of suction soap holders. And to cap it off he always used to wrap his presents in used (greasy) bread wrappers...

You should fill it and give it back to her next Christmas.

When I started uni my mum bought me an old school briefcase

First birthday with my very much ex: nothing. He claimed he was skint but turned up with a new mobile the same day. Cut to Christmas three weeks later, and he’d obviously done his Christmas shopping at Telford Farm Machinery (a local superstore for farmers, as its name suggests). I got a lockable metal cash tin and a pair of welly socks. Total twat.

Just got some embroidered polyester place mats from my sister WTF

My DH bought me a plastic remote controlled rat several years ago. No, I haven't played with it yet.

He's a terrible present buyer so I write him a very specific list, which is boring for me but much more practical!

My cat would love that rat

DM has excelled herself this year. A bloody Baylis and Harding gift set and that's it. Nothing says 'I can't be arsed to find out what you'd like' more than a Baylis and Harding gift set.

Tbh, I'd rather have had nothing. She's given my DB money so he can get some bits for his camper van so I'm feeling a little stung. We have a camper van as well. I'm the one that lives nearby and runs around after her too.

Regift it next year, I know the feeling I got crap the others got decent stuff.

Fu**ings embroided place mats I'm not 98

Got a spice rack this year. Already have one that is exactly the same and from the same shop. The person who gave it has seen it and complimented my choice. We don’t even use spices but just have them for the look and to hide sockets. Can’t get an exchange as they have taken all the identifiable packaging off it 😂
