Most pointless Christmas gifts

[paperchainn]

I'll go first...

Hat and glove set (haven't worn a hat or scarf since I was 10)🤣

Body lotion! Who actually bothers to apply that stuff😬

Bubble bath when I never have baths
Chocolates.. so many chocolates

A candle tin, but no candle in it.

I didn’t get any presents. I do t give em and I don’t get em. Happy with the arrangement. I will be splurging on a new perfume for myself some point in the new year.

Same! I also love new gloves every few years too.

99% of the Secret Santa stuff. Always something pointless like chocolate or a candle.

Anything bought with the purpose of "stocking filler". Just why? Pointless.

I'm in my 70s and body lotion will get used.

And my midwife cousin used to get through a lot too

We should do a gift swap on here 😂

You could cut them up and repurpose them as a present for the person who bought them next year, maybe a small drawstring bag or a peaked cap.

That's appalling. Abusive in fact. I'd be NC with them.

I'm not that crafty! Good idea though!

A really long zip that when zipped up became a bag. Really odd.

A purple rucksack. From just recently exb. I have zero clue why.. I have a chronic back condition which he knew of, I dont go hiking etc, he knows I already have a lively gym bag. I have ZERO requirement for a rucksack! It’s either been bought for his daughter in the past or it’s a middle of Lidl aisle by the looks of it! Total and utter lack of thought on his part, I’m actually offended. However, it reaffirms my decision to ‘let him go’.

DC got an M&S musical biscuit tin to share - the biscuits are easy, count them out and they get half each but they have been arguing all day about who gets the musical tin. I've declared it a Christmas decoration and said we'll just bring it out at Christmas and it can adorn the coffee table.

Thank you all! I was doubting myself a little because they all seemed to think they were very 'normal' gifts, so it's really reassuring that other people think this was poor on their parts.
I'm trying to give them the benefit of the doubt and hope that they just think that because I've done so 'well' in not drinking, that now I can drink a little. This is probably my own fault for assuming that they understood that recovery is a life-long thing.
Either way, I'm very lucky to have some lovely neighbours who let me call in on my way home to drop them off.

@LushLemonTart That would be wonderful, but we all live in the same town so it's not really feasible, sadly. But, thank you for validating what I thought I was blowing out of proportion.

I got an iTunes voucher for a really great album. Love it, but it's on Spotify (I have a subscription) so I'm kind of sorry that someone paid money for music that I have access to anyway. Really hoping it means the artist got a better cut as I love the music.

Get it on vinted.
Love a purple rucksack. 😁😁

I'm just going to search for "Unwanted Gift" 🤣🤣

Was it vintage? I like vintage jewellery better than new...

Sorry, but it went to the charity shop on Tuesday!! 😬🤣

I agree there. I'd use shower gel but I hate candles. I won't have naked flames in the house at all.

Awww boo.. Christmas ruined. 🤪😁🤣

@MildredTheOctopus How strange, are they so disgustingly rude and spiteful usually?! I hope you can pour every drop of it down the sink, I'd be very proud of you if you can. You deserve better than their shenanigans. Please please don't let them slow down any progress you're making.

It could be argued that these are one and the same 😬🤓😂

Slippers that you heat up in the microwave and weigh a ton (because they are full of gel).

Golly Mildred, I’m so sorry - that’s just nasty. I hope you are ok.

Not this year, but my mother gave me some yellow tinted glasses to drive in at night. I've never once had a problem driving at night. I don't understand why she gave them to me.

This year I told her any presents she gives me will go to the charity shop.
