Whats Your Worst Ever Christmas You Recieved

Beate

My OH thinks giving me Ferrero Rochers every year is a really good Christmas present. He claims "I never know what you might like" so I have to either buy my other presents myself or write down an exact description of what I want, where he can get it and how he can get to that store. Best with a streetmap printout and a drawing of the present in question.

One Valentine's Day he came home with a bunch of 6 red roses, of which 3 heads had fallen off already. I made him go back to the store and he came back really chuffed because as a kind of apology the store had replaced the 3 headless roses AND given him another 6 roses on top. I did not have the heart to say that 2 of them were headless as well.

I guess it's the thought that counts.

My worst presents have always came from my nan.She'd buy anything that was 3 for a pound from a market. Sadly she died a couple of months back and I'm really going to miss the deformed cuddly toys and the plastic bracelets.

a plastic scarf. I mean plastic too.
That plastic netting that your oranges come in?......THAT plastic. I was 7 yrs old at the time. I'm now 39 and the thought of it still haunts me.
To top it off, was that a few years later I discovered it was originally an Xmas pressie to my cousin, who didnt like it so her mum (my aunty) wrapped it up for me for my birthday.

Mine was an Adrian Mole book. Don't know why I got it either.

A mixing bowl with a flannel inside - addressed to me and other half from sis in law. We just laughed.

And not the worst but I got a CD for xmas from husband - long before we could afford a CD player. Then got one for birthday, so had to buy one in end.

Couple of years ago my mum got me winnie the pooh christmas pyjamas, which were really small for me and I was 21years old!I've also had gone off chocolates (they had that thing where the chocolate separates and you get the white bit) from a colleague as part of a Secret Santa.

Mine has to be the HUUUUUGE bottle of FAKE Chanel No5 from my inlaws....the worst of it is that I do wear No5 and they obviously thought that I'd not notice the difference!

I was going through a Goth stage at the time so unwrapping a beige cardigan was a sight, i did try to look greatful but my dad said my face said it all (apparently it made his christmas), my grandma made it worse by asking if she could have it as her friend had one similar and she had been looking for one! :rolleyes:

I was in a Gothabilly stage and was also a Squaddie - I got a floral pattern fair isle polo shirt type jumper from mum and dad when serving in Germany- I never wore jumpers if I could avoid it and FLORAL.
