re: Worst Christmas gift received ?

First grade gift exchange after drawing names. The build-up was big. Most kids got stuff like model cars, board games, cap guns. Not big money, but decent stuff.
I got a rubber alligator (kinda used looking) in a Kleenex box in a brown paper bag, along with a Buster Brown comic (which came free with shoes).
The girl who drew my name was poor as hell. I'm glad I acted grateful and was not a little shite about it, but I was sure one disappointed first-grader. I'm sure she was not thrilled about the situation either.

Costume jewelry from a sister. Every year until we stopped giving each other gifts.
I only wear a watch, my LSU ring, one of 2 gold necklaces and ametrine (purple and gold stone) earrings.
She's not observant enough to see that I don't vary the limited jewelry I wear.

My ex-gf got me a fancy barometer and digital weather machine last year based off of me being intrigued by bad weather. Pure tardation. Think she's going to turn into that crazy aunt talked about above.

I got a bucket of zip ties once. Turned out to be the most used gift of all time. In fact I asked for one this year !

I had an uncle that would always get me books and I know he got them for free because he used to a professor at a school in the city. Although when I graduated from college he did hook it up with a 50 dollar gift card to academy. So that was cool.

Yeah thats practical. I would love socks or drors that are my size because they can be used. All these dumb knicknacks are annoying.

One Christmas my dad bought 2 large packs of Pull apart twizzlers and some Stride Chewing gum. That was it...oh and a big bag of BBQ sunflower seeds. FML.

All the grandparent and crazy aunt gifts here are understandable. You know these old folks who rarely see you are gonna get you dumb shite, so it's pretty much expected.
A truly bad gift comes from a good friend, parents, or SO. They should know you enough to get good shite. If they don't it's either blatant laziness or they really don't love you.

When I was 10 my grandmother gave me a girl's sweater. That really ruined my Christmas Eve, especially because my cousin (a girl) got the same sweater.

Can't remember anything that sucked when I opened it but I got a few items that turned out to be lemons and stopped working.

I'm the youngest of 4, all of us are married and so my SIL gets the bright idea to do a Christmas steal game this year to limit buying for one another. $25 limit on gift.
Everyone came up with thoughtful gifts- whiskey, wine glasses, gift cards, cookware, lotto tickets, etc.
What did she bring? Toilet paper. She put a bow around toilet paper, and put it in a Christmas bag. After pushing everyone to play this exchange game.

My naive, very religious SIL got one of my nephews a sports illustrated subscription when he was 10 or 11. She had never heard of the swimsuit edition. When it came out, she cancelled the subscription

Had a very well-to-do, but insanely stingy great aunt put all (me and my cousins) of our names on the angel tree at her church. I'm not sure she got any of our ages correct. I received tube socks and tightey whiteys for a boy about 3 years older than me. None of us were children in need. All of our parents were very angry and embarrassed.

Mom mom's a super devote catholic, to an extreme level. I had just went through a breakup and broke my foot all in the past week before I went over there for Christmas so I was just in an understandable depressed funk. Like I needed help getting around and doing anything. We were just making small talk about all this shite and she suddenly screamed at me to leave her house and not come back until I came back with a smile on my face for what God gave me in front of a dead silent room of like 20 people. I don't think she understood the bitchiness of kicking her son out on Christmas eve so we didn't talk for a good while. Didn't do gifts with any family that year so I guess that counts.
