A bottle of value shampoo from my well off mother in law, after her broad hints for an expensive designer cashmere sweater as her gift from me. Well its the giving not receiving I suppose.:rolleyes:

working as a private nurse looking after an extremely wealthy women, who had enough servants to man a cruise ship, we all recieved cheap biros that had come free with the flyers for donations for christmas gifts to charities :shocked:

I am sooo glad this thread has reappeared. No new bad presents to add - we'll wait for this Christmas to see if any new clangers turn up

I love this thread -it's hilarious. A few years back for my mother's birthday her parents bought her a sack of potatoes

Not really strange or bad but my ex once bought his mate a cd for christmas, but listened to it first, then forgot until his mate came round with an empty cd case!!!

when i was about 14 my step gran gave me a pair of burgandy (sp) pop socks.

my friend gave me a video tape when i had no video player.

my mum gave me a pair of the most horrible slippers, she also got same slippers for my young brother then g/f, who actually liked them. strange lassie she was.

Two Christmases ago on Christmas Eve (after getting the 3 kids to bed) I went to have a bath. Next minute my wife screamed (no she has seen it before), it was just that she had thought my brother was knocking on the front door. In fact it was some stranger who insisted it was his house and wanted to come in. My wife slammed the door in fright and knocked the poor 'drunken' sod out cold. He woke up before the police arrived!!!

This Thread is so funny

I always had to wait for My Dad to come home from work on Christmas day before I could open pressies. This particular year I pleaded with Mum to open at least a few but I was told not to open my main one. This wonderful smartly wrapped rectangular box sat teasing me all day. I was sure it was going to be a fantastic new watch or necklace.
Anyway,when Dad did return from work and I was able to open it, I ripped it open to find it was an adapter!I was so disapointed! i wouldn't mind but I had no use for it or anything that needed it! I was 13 at the time and I still don't know why they bought me it!They must have thought it would be useful some day.

The worst present I've ever recieved personally was from my Granny when I was about 6 or 7 - a book of children's nursery rhymes. With another child's name written on the front page. I innocently pointed this out to her and she turned bright red and said that a naughty child must have done it in the shop Obviously I believed this and was horrified, and spent all of Christmas day showing this to visitors and telling them about the naughty child :rotfl: poor granny spent the day bright red and my poor mother tells me she nearly choked trying not to laugh.

Same granny bought my mum a porcelain clown she'd bought at an auction. An auction of fire damaged goods apparently, because the plastic feet were melted - they looked like a Dali painting.

I also recieved a bright red size 18 lace thong from my uncle. I was a size 8. And 14 years old.....

Best ever bad present has to go to my poor sister in law. At 15 from her gran, she recieved a magazine (free gift missing), a half empty, sticky bottle of shampoo and a rape alarm. She cried.

A few years ago OH's Mum knitted us matching jumpers with a dog motif & woof woof woof around the bottom & cuffs. For some reason we never wore them!
