Worst/Strangest Christmas Present!

Last year;
Picture the scene if you will...
Myself, dh, 2x ds and dd, my brother, my male cousin and my dad :eek: sat round the christmas table.

Opening my first present from my sister in law i came across a box of sanitary wipes!

Whilst opening my second present and still pondering the first (did i smell and she didnt dare tell me?) i revealed a platinum rampant rabbit!

I have never been so embarrassed in my life, not so much a bad gift but deffinately one not to open at the christmas dinner table in the company of your father :rotfl:

The weirdest present was from a Japanese flatmate, who didn't really 'do' Christmas, as she admitted later. I got a really old, slightly tatty book that I think was about Japanese gardens, although I couldn't tell as it was in Japanese...

The first Christmas I had with my new boyfriend (now my longsuffering DH) was a bit of a doozer. We had only met at the end of November and I was a bit nervous about getting him a present, would he even get me one, then he would be embarrassed... all those sorts of things. In the end I got him a CD of a mix collection of Ibiza chillout tunes that I know he'd listened to in my house and liked. I thought that was quite a nice gift.... until he turned up with a beautiful silver necklace, a huge coffee-table book of wines of the world and a very expensive Grand Cuvee bottle of Bollinger.

I felt a bit of a skank... but at least I knew he liked me! LOL. He brings it up every damn Christmas, adn that was seven years ago now....

But best of all was a DVD from my (now) ex - a workout DVD for "quick weight loss". This is just an example of his tact He is now VERY MUCH an ex :rotfl:

I got a weight watchers ready meal for valentines day from my (very much) EX boyfriend. I had prepared a three course meal, which took all day to cook, for him :rolleyes:

My Aunt has dropped some cracking presents over the years - including 2 pairs of pink y-fronts for my dad , a santa candle for my mum, which couldn't stand up on it's own and looked like it had already been lit, and - possibly the funniest - a red plastic picture frame with a picture of santa for my dad. Who was about 45 at the time :rotfl:

I remember many years ago when I was a wee girl, my dad gave my mom a spade with a red ribbon on it - he very nearly got a frying pan to the back of the bonce!!
