    What Was The Worst Gift You Ever Received?

    My older sister is known for her awful gift giving. Once she gave me a cast iron thing- don't know if it was a door stop or bookend- that looked like the statue "The Thinker" It is THE UGLIEST thing I think I ever saw! One thing about her gifts, we could always use them as a gag gift for a church Christmas party!

    We had a Christmas gift exchange at my previous job and drew names.  The person who had drawn my name got me a fruit cake!  I don't know too many people who like fruitcakes so I couldn't even regift it!  I think I gave it to the Salvation Army...thought SOMEONE might enjoy it...♥

    I know of a couple of people who will eat fruitcake. It's a shame though that they don't live close enough for me to send it to them.

      I think that the worst gift that I ever got from anybody was a I think a statue of a mountain lion.  My sister-in-law made it in her ceramic class one year for Christmas its about 3 feet tall and she said it was a mountain lion since I like lions. But to tell you the truth I think it looks more like a dog but you did not hear it from me.  I still have this statue after 3 years and my sister-in-law and I still laugh at it because she has gotten better over the years in ceramic class and now she can make better things instead.

      To tell you the truth i don't think of any gift as being a bad one and i never try to take anything back to the store for a refund or to exchange it..just like vivaria, my sister made me a 2 litre beer stein/stein in a ceramic class surprisingly it is a very nice mug(has the scene of a German beer hause/house on it. I only used it once(even though i don't drink alchohol i filled it up with Dr pepper) before i thought better of drinking out of it .before thinking what it was made out of or what was used to seal it...and i still have it till this day sitting on a shelf...it's almost 20 years old..

      I hope my brother is not on this site, but I got a single demitasse cup espresso maker,one year for Christmas. you had to put this thing on the burner of the stove, add water, and about 3 ounces of espresso poured from the spout into a demitasse cup. I figured it had to be a regift. A person would have to be dying for espresso, before they would go to all this trouble for 3 ounces of liquid espresso.

      The worst gift I've ever received was from my best-friend. She knew i like painting so she bought me some statue from china town. It was suppose to be a banana but it looked like a penis!! I was so embarrassed!! I had to opened it in front of everyone, especially in front of ,my parents! She even got me a painting set just for it! I still have it up until now, on my desk, and the painting i did for it got me into so much trouble!

      OMG I would be so embarrassed myself if I ever received something like that and had to open it up in front of everybody.

      It was a dead rat and green herbs wrapped in a black polythen bag. I found them placed on my bed. On hurrying to open it, i got scared and screamed for help. It seems someone wanted to spoil my birthday.

      that's to bad that someone wanted to spoil your birthday.

      Empty boxes on Christmas day from my dad because I was seriously very naughty but that was ages ago

      answered 5 months ago   

      He did not even put a little trinket in the box. We did that one year for our two older boys. We put in keys to the four-wheelers in an tp roll and wrapped up the tp. Then we took each tp roll and put it in a small box and worked our up to a larger box. Each boy had at least 4 boxes to unwrapped before they got to the tp rolls. You should of seen the expression on their faces when they got to the tp rolls. We told to look inside the tube and the look of surprises on their faces when they saw those keys.

      I like strange gifts. I always find a use for them. All the little ceramics, statues, and the like go into my flower beds. All the household gifts like a utencil set, bath soaps etc, I give to my lodge. It's put aside till someone needs after a hurricane or fire. You should see some of the stuff that people get tinkled pink over.

      very thoughtful to be prepared ahead, and to be able to help others. little knick knacks go on my porch, too and odd containers make great planters, even and old pair of workboots or shoes.

      Wow... All the comments about bad ceramic stuff makes me wonder if I should forget giving my pottery items as gifts this year. Anyway.. Ive received some really bad gifts....but the WORST gift Ive ever received has to be the used dirty dust buster with the accessories missing, no box, and a cracked handle... He swears it was new... Must have been the store's floor model that was tried out by a million people. I received a letter attached to a birthday card saying happy birthday...I'm terminating our friendship... Nice huh? I was also told By my fiance' on my birthday that he was not in love with me anymore..... Even nicer huh? No wonder I hate my birthday and insist that nobody gives me any gifts on holidays.

      answered 5 months ago   

      sorry about the fiance junk what a birthday! bless your heart. my older sis once gave me a bunch of hotel lotions, shampoos and conditioners and soaps, saying she knew I travelled alot (WHAT? NO WE DIDN'T) and could use them. what ever man. and once she wrapped my gift in an empty mini pad box ewww... i was scared to open it

      I can't really think of a worst gift right now, so I am thinking that I might not have had one yet? But if I had to choose a worst out of all the presents I have gotten, it is getting the same thing twice in the same year. But since it was a Sudoku set, I can have timed competitions against my friends! It turned out pretty fun after all.
