OK, I saw this on MSN.com, but I thought it might be a good topic. So what were the worst gifts you ever received? Here is a sample of what I found on MSN. Not a Christmas present, but some friends of ours received a used, electric turkey carver as a wedding present (dried turkey shavings included).
I was always a little chubby growing up, and when I was about 12, my aunt sent me a pink corduroy jumper of the most unflattering variety, with a picture of a pig on the bodice and embroidery reading "...this little piggy stayed home!"
I received a used paper Christmas bag filled with free perfume samples from magazines one year.
My mother who was a wonderful gift giving person had a lady friend ( neighbor) who she would always have these great Birthday lunches with and they would exchange gifts and try to out do each other on their great gift each year. One year Helen gave my Mother a high heel shoe that had been covered with elbow macaroni and sprayed gold. she had put a gaudy blue plastic rose in it and made her a " flower arrangement" my Mother was horrified. We still laugh about it every time we see Helen or elbow macaroni.
A pair of black socks from my Grandmother. On the bottom there was a stamp that read, 'U.S. Army Rejects" My half sister (she's 27 years older then me) gave me a carton of Camel Filter cigarettes for Christmas one year. I was 13 years old. Needless to say, we have never been close. |
