I bought one of those for my wife this year. At least I had the good sense not to give it to her as a Christmas present!

:mad:The worst christmas present I ever recieved was a grey plastic washing basket from my parents, which was so cheap it cut a huge gash in my hand when I used it (not had anymore cheap & nasty pressies as we don't speak anymore)

No naff presents here, but I would say that I absolutely loathe receiving chocolates when the house already has a ton of the stuff hanging around, and worst of the worst, and although I love things that the Toonies might make, I absolutely hate the sort of old tat that adults make and give you. Bin fodder straight away!

A cookbook from my friend based solely on receipes for Chicken/Duck/Guinea Fowl etc and I don't eat meat ! Having been friends for 31 years I though she would have realised by now!
It is a beautiful book, just useless to me, it will be re-gifted or put in a raffle.

But it is better than any other presents I got - there weren't any! My Son couldn't get to see me and didn't bother sending anything.

My husband didn't get me ANYTHING saying "He didn't know what to buy" but later admitted he had not even bothered to go out an look. So having spent months researching everyone elses presents, buying and wrapping them (in all 33) I decided I had had enough -so I gave everyone else another present - I took all the decorations down and didn't cook him and the MIL any Christmas dinner saying "I didn't know what to cook " - we had a cheese sandwhich. The MIL never buys presents anyway ! Great Christmas !!!

One year my husband and I were given a plastic or resin 'mountain' water feature. You filled a reservoir with water and clapped your hands (or any other noise) and the most atrocious music started playing and water started flowing down the little mountain stream - in which tiny gnomes were fishing! This was bought by my husband's elderly aunt who genuinely thought it would be a lovely addition to our new conservatory!

I was so awful that we kept it for a while for its kitch qualities, but eventually couldn't stand the sight or sound of it any more so it went to a charity shop.

Mine wasn't the actual contents that were the problem. It was a gift addressed only to my DH that when after the giver had handed all their presents out and realised they'd forgotten me, yelled across the room that DH's present was actually a joint one to both of us. :doh:
