Worst Gift You Ever Given/Received

Worst Given
Omg Just remembered when my sister and I were about 10 and 12 respectively we had limited money for a gift for my Mom. I remember being in the store and discussing with my sister how we would buy her the absolute best quality of something that was usually inexpensive to compensate . We deliberated long and hard over our purchase. Finally presented Mom with a pretty tin of " Feminine Hygiene Spray" Must have been the patterns on the canister that induced the purchase , the Hell we didn't know what it was for. I have ummn 'blanked out' Moms reaction , which is fine because that's simpatico with most of my missing childhood memories.......see denial ain't just a river in Eygpt huh......smiles :D

The list would be too long! Almost every gift I received from my ex-mother-in-law! But, I think the tops was the plastic grape salt & pepper shakers... well, no the singing bass plaque was pretty cheesy!

Thats bad. Me too, ex mother inlaw, not tacky as much as useless. Like a tiny food processor for herbs. I don't grow them. I thought it might work for onions but partially chopped them leaving whatever was under the blade area mashed.

Anyway, yeah.. oh and a coffee purculator.
 
Recieved: Pencil snapped in half.

Man, do I LOVE Secret Santa.

I got a box of dollar-store, bumblefuckingberry-scented candles and a postage-stamp sized picture frame from my secret Santa. Apparently, the secret is, Santa's having a tough time making ends meet up at the Pole.
 
Worst given: A spice rack that later broke. My friend told me not to bother giving him any more useless shit.

Worst recieved: A tie rack. I never have owned a suit.

My snapped pencil souldn't be sharpened though.

Man, I don't have that many happy memories of elementary school.

I got mine at a job where most of the people drive luxury sedans. The spending limit was $50. I wonder what ol' Secret Santa did with the other $48.50?
 
Someone who uses ie after c correctly!

That being said, the worst gift? Well, probably those extremely huge white cotton unmentionables with butt ruffles my great grandmother gets me every year. Actually they're pretty fun. I have names for all styles of my unmentionables: itsy bitsies, teeny weenies, and high and mighties.

how is this name pronounced?

I see it. It's a rose with the @ being the sex organ of the plant and the } being a leaf. Her name is written on the stem.
 
I think my daughter bought me some sinus-clearing mint awful bubble bath awful...

She did it on purpose.

I'm convinced of it.

Like what I want from a bubble bath is to be woken up.

And she knows I hate mint, she just forgets. She's mean.

I think my least favorite response was when I handmade candles for everyone in the family and hand-stamped the wrapping paper with stenciled vines...and I got a thank you note saying "Thank you for the blender" from my sister.

~lol~ We've got a singing shark... plays "Mack the Knife"!

And one of the worst was one of those thingies that knock out a car window under water in case you're trapped. Complete with seat belt cutter and whistle!

Though I'm not so sure how the whistle works if you're under water :D

While practical, it wasn't one of the more festive gifts I've ever received...
 
Shark 1 (Mack the knife)
Bass 1 (Don't Worry be Happy)
Lobster 1 (yep sings B52's Rock Lobster :D )

Who got the crab ? Anyone........anyone.......................

What does the crab sing :confused:

Its all good ...that whistle is manufactured by the same Company that makes the whistles attached to your standard buoyancy vest , for you know when your flight suddenly makes a detour landing in the Ocean AFTER you remove your damn shoes and slide down the inflatable slide thingy , personally I think if you lick the whistle you will find its coated in Valium
 
worst gift I ever gave - a regifted ceramic vase.

I don't normally regift and its haunted me ever since...
 
Aww...folks, c'mon! It was nice that they even took the time to send you these things, eh?

Even if they were some funky ass things THEY got from someone the year before.

Anyway, they took the time, eh? Give em a break. Maybe they were stressed out that Christmas.
