Worst/Strangest Christmas Present!

arnie&caseysma!

OMG! I am sitting here horrified at how unthoughtful some people can be!

My worst two pressies I think I have ever been was one year in the secret Santa I got a pair of pink mule slippers (from Your More Store). It was most entertaining as we were given the pressies on a night out and being really quite drunk I wore them all night in the pubs ONTOP of my knee high boots as my feet were sore.....the logic is there somewhere!:cool:

The other one was a couple of years ago from my Nana when I got a 'frog chorus candle'. When I eventually plucked up the courage to open it up it was a terracota bowl with a bright green candle in it, with 6 little frogs round the edge that looked like they were singing:eek: . I couldn't even get rid of it at a Car Boot Sale!!! Mind you she did redeem herself the next year with a lovely pair of Kit Heath earrings!:p

I thought I hadn't had any bad presents, but as soon as I looked at this thread it jogged my memory...ex husband one year got me a coffee percolator and a food processor. :eek: how thoughtful :rolleyes: That most probably was the beginning of the end of the marriage.

My SIL is the queen of awful pressies. When my DS was 6 months old she gave him a girls pink jumper marked4/5 years, a few years later she gave him back a pack of 2 tops that I gave her son the year before. Last Xmas she gave my then 9 year old DD Curling tongs , when you looked in side they were manufactored in 1982 - 14 years before she was born. I got some beads in a very smokey smelling box - they got immediately binned.

American Tan tights from MIL! Seriously - I was in my earky 20's then!!

When I was 15 my aunt (not exactly skint) knitted my sis & I hats & mittens (yes - mittens!) in a lovely purple colour. Never wore them again after a photo was taken to show her!! The same aunt gave my son a packet of 99p insects - having said that he loved them!

One Xmas, I asked my DH for a moisturiser as I had almost run out.
I opened my present to find that he had bought me Susannah and Trinny's book of 'What not to wear' (because he noticed I like watching their T.V programme...and 6 different tubs of facial moisturiser...he couldn't remember which one I used! The thought was there I guess...but the combination of pressies still makes me laugh to this day! :rotfl:

My husband always laughs when I open pressies from my Mum. You see, she can buy the most sexiest, laciest negligee for my cousin who is same age, and roughly same size as me, but I always get a cute 'n' cuddly oversize T-shirt shaped night-shirt, usually with a 'cute' animal on it!
I have gone overboard admiring the gorgeous night-wear she buys for her niece, but to no avail. DH reasons that she only sees me as her 'little girl', not a married, grown woman of 40 with 3 children of her own!

When I was about 12 I was given a red biro pen all wrapped up from my step Aunty

The worst I think was when I was a full on hardcore punk, pink mohican, bondage skirts and doc martins and for christmas from a relation, I got 2 tapes - Boney M's Greatest Hits and Musical Youth - Pass the Duchy. Errrrrrr thanks

Why cant everyone put as much thought into their Christmas presents as me. I always buy my wife a christmas Hamper which I make up myself! It comprises of a new washing up bowl full of goodies like dish cloths, washing up liquid, floor cleaner etc it really sets her up for the New Year! Only Joking!
