A moustache cup ... I am female and don't have a moustache. Giver thought it was a funny joke. I thought it was a total waste of money - I'd rather not have a gift at all.

:rotfl:You made the whole family collapse with laughter with your story! :rotfl:
My worst Christmas present was from my MIL and it was 3 pairs of Tesco knickers (from a 5 pack). My SIL was given the other 2 pairs for her Christmas present!!!:eek: :rotfl:Was absolutely furious at the cheek of it lol!!

Not really sure if this counts as the thought was there... Years ago I received a box of bath stuff, one of those cheap and nasty boxes you buy from a pound shop. I'm really, really fussy on what cosmetics I use and this smelt so awful, even through the box that I'd never use it even if I wasn't fussy. I made appreciative noises though, like you do and out of politeness when asked I said I liked using it but sadly had run out (it had gone to the charity shop straight away).

The next year I got exactly the same box because 'they knew I liked it'. And again the following year, and again the next year. That year I had to go into their spare room to get something and while I was poking about I stumbled accross a big box which smelled familiar... on closer inspection I found they'd stocked up on my box of smellies! There must have been about 20 boxes of the same pack!

I later found out that they thought I really liked it so had bought the shop out so that they wouldn't disappoint me in the future. I think they've got about another 10 years of stock left now. The thing is, it smelt bad before but now it smells so bad I can't even charity shop it and in the last box the bath crystals look like they've started to go mouldy.

It's very sweet of them but I hope they didn't spend much on it and I feel so guilty!

One year I received insect repellant! From who else but the MIL! I decided from that day forth to be as much of a pest as I could manage :rotfl:

Her reasoning was that I complained about being bitten when walking our dog so ...

She didn't buy any presents this year :j

I've had a half drunk bottle of wine last year and chocolate coins which had been eaten by mice ( guessed mice as the net wasnt broken but the chocs were all nibbled).

I can't wear it around my dad because he seems to come up in a rash when he is near Lavander. And some colleen rooney perfume...That smelt of mouth wash....From none other than the mother in law. The year before....A dressing gown

That's just plain mean, I hope you left it on her doorstep!

I feel bad complaining now but I got a the complete box set of Meerkat Manor because I made the mistake of saying I liked it when out with my MIL that was desperate to buy me something! I meant that I have watched it occasionally on TV not that I would like to own all 3 series! :rotfl: She also bought me a kindle though, so I really am NOT complaining!
