What would be the ^worst^ and most unsuitable Christmas present you could possibly receive?

[moondog]

For moi I think gift set of cheap oil 'infused' with some grass herbs along with some dried out spices and a crap mortar and pestle.

No, Boffin mum, that honour has to be reserved for the fake rolex watch she bought for DH. "Do you know how you tell it's not genuine?" she asked, as the watch face fell off in his hands.
Or maybe for the hand knitted rainbow wool shagpile effect cardigan she specially 'sourced' for my poor 4 year old who just wanted a "my little pony." You wouldn't think it was possible to encounter so much tat in one short lifetime! I could go on for hours, the woman is one in a million- Thank God!

I think the worst had to be a white beaded grannyish purse/bag thing from Boots(according to the label inside).

It looked as though it should have originally had some kind of toiletries in it, but it was damaged and had so obviously been in the bargain bin.

Having said that DB and DSil are legendary and I try to think of these things as funny now rather than annoying. The dds have had a lot of fun using the purse for their little treasures.

The couple have a knack of giving bargain bin presents to the most unsuitable people, and so it is almost exciting seeing what they have come up with this year.

Bath bombs.

Whats the point? They just stink. And make you all slimy, yeauch

Thorntons/milk tray chocolates. Don't mean to sound ungrateful, especially as I LOVE chocolate, but to me, these 2 leave me feeling cold. Not one flavour I like and they just taste so cheap and nasty. Seriously, it's not the money but if you're going to go to the trouble of buying me a present (an edible kind!) and can't stretch to hotel chocolat which is my fave, then get me a packet of milky buttons, or a twirl. ahem DSIS ahem

Nearly four years after the last post on this thread in 2008 someone chips in with a comment about the pointlessness of bath bombs.

Brilliant

Thank you for reviving this Mickey, it's still a good thread. I miss Moondog.
