What's the ultimate worst Christmas gift someone ever gave you? Did the gifter find out you didn't like it and what was his or her reaction?

Pine scented soap from the wife. Smelled worse than one of those car deodorizers that hangs from the rear view mirror. I thought it was a joke.

She was pissed at me for days, but I couldn't believe she wanted me to walk around smelling like that.

One year my MIL found out I was really into playing darts on my super nice, pro level cork dart board that I had mounted in a nice case and hung in my man cave.

So naturally she gave me a plastic electronic dart board from Walmart to replace it. I think that's the worst my poker face ever was....my wife immediately leaned in and said...I can find the recipt.

My wife always gives me the body wash from Bath and Body Works, I shower every day so she can't be telling me I smell.

Just posted this in another thread:

I wanted a Nintendo as a kid (maybe 6-7 years old). My parents didn’t want to buy me one, so they thought they could placate me by giving me one of those old electronic football games. The one with the long metal field and plastic players that vibrated. Something I never asked for and didn’t even know existed. Something I also came to learn had not been popular in nearly a decade by the time I got it. Needless to say, I was a bit disappointed when I woke up early on Christmas morning and saw that giant box instead of the Nintendo I was hoping for.

I got the last laugh though because at 5:00 am I started rattling that MFer non-stop. I think at that point they realized how annoying it was. Coincidentally, I got a Nintendo the following Christmas.

EDT: I would go to my friends’ houses and play their Nintendos. They would come to mine and NO ONE wanted to play with my football game. “You mean we have to take 5 minutes to set the players up after each play…only to have them rattle/wander aimlessly each time we turn on the board? Why is the running back going backwards?!!”

I was 10 years old (so I still played with toys but not so retarded that I didn't appreciate other gifts)

My aunt gave me a pair of pants when I was around 10. Nearly 30 years later and the ugly things would still be too big.

My husband bought me a Peleton one year after I had gained a few pounds during the year.

2005. A paternal uncle died in September. Maternal grandfather died early December. Paternal uncle died Christmas Eve while everyone was heading to my grandparents' home. Paternal grandmother died three days later from the shock. 2009 paternal grandfather spent Christmas in hospice and died the first week of January. Last remaining uncle died a week later.

Not a big fan of the season.

Yep I got one of those too. I turned it on and it made that ridiculous loud buzzing noise. I turned it off and never looked at it again. LOL

I am an LSU fan that married into a Bama family. I know, I know but she was worth it for me to do such a thing! My MIL bought a Bama t shirt and an Arkansas gym short to go with it. Get this. She knew I wore XL shirts and L gym shorts.

The shirt she gave me was a medium and the shorts were an XXL. She was squirrelly like that. She said she held up an XL shirt but it was wrinkled so she grabbed one that was neatly folded and did not look at the size. Then she rifled through red gym shorts and saw the nice Alabama colored shorts. Did not look at size or logo.

I put them on and stood in front of her to show her. She said looked nice and said the shirt showed my muscles and the shorts were loose like they needed to be. Hahahaa

I kept them for years before donating them to Goodwill.

I used to get like canvas totes bags or small keepsake boxes as a kid. I still have some of them but it was always a wet fart of a gift. Like receiving wrapping paper or paper towels as a gift

Years ago while I was still in college, my mother asked what I wanted for Christmas and I clearly jokingly said affliction shirts laughing. Christmas Day rolls around and what do you know, I proceed to open about 3/4 of these bad boys

When I was a kid my aunt, who had plenty of money, gave me the free gift with purchase when she bought herself some perfume. As a kid I thought it was a crappy gift but didn't say anything. I didn't realize it at the time but a couple of years later I was walking in the mall and found the same thing. Really opened my eyes about family, LOL.
