Worst/Strangest Christmas Present!

Another one has come to me...for my wedding (to the ex-mentioned above) my mum (not MIL...my own mum) bought me a big box with bleach, dusters, pledge, air freshner, dishcloths, washing up liquid etc........ she said that she knew I wouldn't have any!
We had been living together for about 10 years by then....but I never have been the worlds best at cleaning.

Once had an address book from my MIL - with loads of names and addresses of people I'd never heard of already written in! Another Christmas she gave me two tea-towels, one stained.

On my first Christmas as a married women, my husband bought me a pair of slippers that would suit a granny, a pair of awful gloves, a mixer thingy and the one thing that I liked, The Hobbit (special edition) book. I got him a nintendo and games, and a pair of bloody expensive boots from Millets. Then after our daughter was born 8 years ago I hinted (and have done each year since!) about an eternity ring but needless to say I'm still waiting! MIL usually does ok apart from a couple of dodgy pressies (address book) but its usually poor hubby who loses out in the present stakes with his parents. Mind you my mother is just as bad if not worse at sorting out presents for him poor guy usually gets a t-shirt (black or blue) and socks or boxers. She gave us each money last year and is again this year so thats AOK with us!!! Roll on the sales....yipeeee!!!

My worst Christmas present so far was a November Radio Times from the MIL

And from my brother-in-law I received a box of twelve notelets with eleven in it, and my partner received a pack of playing cards with 'Singapore airlines' stamped on it!

Well what can I say!
Shortly after my marriage broke down a mutual "friend" introducwed me to a guy who I was led to believe fancied the pants off me.
Being near Xmas he bought me a pressie - I was worried but shouldn't have been it was a baking tray! (Apparently a pizza had stuck to one of my old ones.
The same year my friend got a model smart car from her MIL.

We had a new years eve dinner where everyone brought along their worst Xmas gift. After a good laugh we all swopped them. The baking tray was very popular.

I got a set of whisky glasses from my DH one Christmas. I never drink spirits. Guess what he drinks?

at the 1st christmas following my mastectomy and still getting used to a silicone boob, my brother and SIL bought me a pair of stick on nipples - this caused mass hysteria at the dinner table after i served the pudding with one stuck on my forehead, and told them to press for service. :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: as i was as bald as a badger following chemo the effect had to be seen -

Aunty Jean got me a wooden 4 inch duck on wheels when I was 15. Other classics include 3 cheap shell "fashion" soaps sellotaped to a bit of card, a tiny 2 inch pillow , a box of mini cotton reels , an ugly broach of a man with a huge head and small body that was so heavy it tore your jumper , an out of date box of roses and a ball of lard for the birds!! She also recycles books given as gifts from other relatives but the family have scuppered that by writing in the front!!
