Worst/Strangest Christmas Present!

Maisie

I worked with a girl who said she and her OH didn't buy personal Christmas presents for each other. She said one year he gave her a toilet seat and she gave him a toilet brush as they were decolrating the bathroom!

The first year I went to my (ex) boyfriends house for Christmas I had already been pre-warned that gran always knits her presents ... and the family "tradition" of having to wear grans knitted garments for Christmas dinner. :eek: I got a balaclava as she thought it would be useful for when I was waiting at bus-stops in the winter (!??!?) how ridiculous did I feel trying to make a good impression while wearing a bloody balaclava for dinner!!!!

My SIL who is loaded bought me a really posh lipstick can't remember what make now but something like YSL a few years ago. She said if I didn't like it I could give it her back and she would get me something else.

The lipstick didn't suit me at all it was fair too dark so I gave it her back and she said she would get me a top or something else. Guess what? I'm still waiting now!!

We always make sure that her family have their birthday presents on time and my OH is still waitng for his Birthday present from the 14 Sept. Never mind c'est la vie :rotfl:

One year my next door neighbour bought my 2 DD's presents . I bought her a M and S small hamper and a christmas plant. My daughters got a can of coke each that she had won at the church raffle. They were 2 and 5 at the time.

I got a photo in a lovely brass frame of myself with his aunts and mum, it was taken on my hen night! so it wasnt the best the same person also gave my hubbt the same frame but another hideous picture fromt he same nt!
i never even displayed it then after we got married i took the picture out and gave it to someone else with a much nicer picture of me and my hubby on our wedding day! and that person still spells my name wrong even though the past 2 years i have spelt my name in big letters like you do when you are 5 or6!!! sorry for the moan...

The OH got me some oven cleaner one Christmas. I've still not let him live that one down.

My OH thinks its great to go to Halfords each year on christmas eve for my last minute present. Last year it was an oil filter for the car and an air freshener

In successive years I had an axe and a pair of wellingtons and then a build it yourself wheelbarrow. All from my in-laws. On the surface these may appear to be a bit 'functional' but I'd never had my own axe or wheelbarrow and thought they were excellent. Practical! thats my in-laws.

My brother bought me a vaccum cleaner last year and an ironing board for a birthday present a couple of years ago. Sad thing is I asked him to get them for me - well I wouldn't spend my own cash on them.
