A bright pink chocolate handbag from my father and stepmother. Now i have nothing to do with them but they still insist on buying be awful presents. I dont like chocolate, I'm a goth and i have never once used a handbag in my life....

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!!

I would of been thrilled with a spade!! :rotfl: Though i am a gardener by trade son maybe that has to be taken into account

Not given to me but few yrs ago my sister recieved a set of placemats and coasters from an aunt (by marriage). Nice you may think but they were faded and obviously been used for the past 20 yrs or so judging by the scratches and watermarks!

We guessed she wasnt happy that our uncle had just left her for another woman!!! :rotfl:

Hi all, This is the funniest thing I have read in ages. I thought my pressie was bad but nothing compared to things on here. I had been married only 6 mths and my MIL bought hubby a lovely shirt and tie and me - an Addis washing up bowl filled with brushes!!!

My mean brother and his wife (who are wealthy with no children) used to send us their old presents wrapped in used xmas paper with holes in and old bits of cellotape still stuck on. It was the cheapest paper imaginable to start with and I defy anyone to even find such cheap tatt these days.

Me again, readiing these got me thinking!

My aunt (see my post above) bought us all these awful jumpers, mine had a big zip going up the front with a plastic skier attached so that I could zip it up and down the hidious snowy backgroud! My mum got an owl one which she hated so she used it to line the cats basket with, always remembering to remove it when the vile auntie visited. One day she turned up out of the blue, we all prayed that the cat would sleep the whole time but she didnt and got out the basket right infront of evil aunt!!!

Another funny one was on xmas day we got a call to come to an xmas party, mum didnt have anything in to take as a present so she wrapped up the free gift we had gotten from our xmas hamper ( was a glass bell) So we get to the party and mum gives the host the gift, gets a thankyou and goes gets us all a drink. Out the corner of her eye, mum spots exactly the same bell on the window sill, the host comes back and says ' i bet your laughing at that hideous bell? its ok, it came free with my hamper'! I dont think we stuck around to watch her open our gift!

This thread as had me in hysterics. Its so funny!

I think the worse gift I've been given was by an ex's gran. It was a set of cheap make up brushes. The bristles were really sharp and the heads fell off them when I took them out the packaging!

My little brother hates brussel sprouts and we have always teased him a little about Xmas dinner. One Boxing Day when we were kids we were about to leave my nan's house when my aunt, uncle and cousins called my bro back telling him they had forgotten to give him one of his presents and produce a small nicely wrapped box. He opened it to find, you've guessed it, it was full of sprouts. My brother dropped the box on the floor and ran out the room crying. Of course that wasn't enough for my cousins who proceeded to grab the box of sprouts and chase my brother outside throwing the sprouts at him!!
I'll never forget it, my brother running around crying with my cousins throwing sprouts at him shouting "Rob, don't forget your present!!"

This thread is so funny :rotfl:

I think my worst present has got to be something I received from my aunt and uncle when I was about 16. It was a glass 'thing' that you use to arrange flowers. It looked like a set of cow's udders, stuck it in my m&d shed and for all I know it's still there To make things worse, they gave my brother a brown plastic money belt (yuck!) with a tenner hidden inside :rolleyes:

30 plus years ago my brother borrowed £5 from my sis in june and gave it back to her for her xmas pressie
We gave him so much grief about it, that he got quite good with pressies after that
