We don't want to dampen the Christmas spirit, but we are curious...

What's the worst Christmas present you've ever received?

Whether it's a dubious looking ornament from the charity shop or the wet wipes that one MSE'er received from his mum, we want to know.

Share yours below...

    I quite like origami :D Can I swap it for the Yankee Candles which my in-laws bought for me one year. I can't stand the smell of them!!

    My Mam got an ashtray off her best mate many years ago. She has never smoked and absolutely detests it.

    A pack of candles (no idea why) and a "pre-loved" jumper that was too small, stained and covered in bobbles due to wear. Bypassed the charity shops, the jumper went straight in the recycling.

    A packet of tea- which had been opened! From my brother and sister- in - law
    The same year they gave my OH a way too large shirt which had been re- folded badly and stuffed back into its packaging.
    The hardest thing was stifling our giggles in front of them!
