vagabondduo -> Your Worst Gift (12/10/2008 12:30:21 PM)
The holiday seasons are approaching. It made me think of gifts I've been given in the past that were not well thought out. Now it seems funny, but years ago some of these gifts were hurtful. My all time worst gift was a soft toilet seat. I'd mentioned once that they must be more comfy than the old wooden seat so he bought me one, wrapped it up, and presented it as the only gift I received that year. If we'd had our own bathroom it might not have been so bad. However, our home at the time had only 1 bathroom which we shared with our 3 UMs. So...."my" gift was used equally by all in the household. Anyone else have a story to tell...either a gift you received or one you shouldn't have given?? By the way...the he in the story is a different he than the one I'm with now.

The toilet seat sounded symbolic it said: "One day you will have your dream toilet even if I have to buy it piece by piece."

OMG... I have one I just can't forget. I typically don't get into holidays, but this one my husband kept building up. "You are going to love your present! I can't wait until you see it!" So, I did get curious and excited as he built me up for the amazing thing he had for me. Christmas morning I brightly sat there ready to be ever so happy with my gift he had built up so wonderfully. Even the people there were shocked because they had heard it all and they too wanted to know what it was and all felt bad for me knowing I had to cover my shock and knowledge that the man simply didn't get me. It was a um's doll lamp. To me a gift isn't important and it is the thought that counts, but trying to not disappoint him was a challenge. I was floored with that one. I don't think anyone there will forget it either! lol

My ex husband bought me a pair of brake shoes for my car. I was NOT a happy camper.

I would have to go back to the crock pot and vacuum year.

The worst gifts were where my mom gave me what she thought I should have and wanted me to have, even though she knew full well I wouldn't like them. She feels like it's tough shit if you don't want, say clothing or make up or jelwery, if she thinks you should have it, by god you're getting it. So every year I say no make up, no jewelery, no clothing ,no slippers, no music, And I tell her EXACTLY what I WOULD apreciate, but it goes in one ear and out the other, One year she gave me this huge case of makeup, knowing I dislike makeup, because she thinks I should wear make up and would look so pretty if I did, and then one time she bought an admitedly gorgious bracelet watch, which when I tried to wear sometime later was to small. She also thinks because I like country music I'll like any country music singer, or any songs from that particular singer, and I am very very picky. One year she bought me some books, and books should be a safe bet since I love to read but they were books I really don't give a rip about, like the classic little women, and chareles dickens. quote:* ORIGINAL: vagabondduo The holiday seasons are approaching.

Ohhhhhhh you just reminded me of "The Shoes!" We were really really poor when I was a kid. Really poor. The Sears and JCPenney catalogues were like glossy pages of unimaginable delights. One year in my early teens I saw a pair of shoes I wanted soooooooo badly. I hinted and hinted (okay, it was obviously and blatent begging) that I wanted those shoes for Christmas. Christmas morning came, there was a shoe box under the tree.......I was so excited! Finally, I got to open my gift and lo and behold it was the ugliest pair of old lady shoes I had ever seen. They had been on the same page in the catalogue and my mother being....well my mother and clueless.....ordered the wrong ones. I never did get the ones I wanted (too much trouble to return them yanno) and I never EVER wore those horrid old lady shoes either. I tried to hide how unhappy I was but I failed miserably.

hmmm...well, my worst one was a HUGE robe that coulda covered me and everyone reading this. [8\|] But I know people who have received worse. HM's first slave (who was wealthy) got him a cougar skull for his desk. He loves animals and was appalled. It was very expensive though...[:-][8\|] And the saddest/funniest prize goes to a girl who used to be my roommate. She went out one year on her birthday and met a guy whose birthday it was that night as well. They hit it off and started dating. At Christmas time he got her a vacuum. They were still dating the following year. (pfffttt) When their birthdays came around, she got him something really nice (I forget what) and he forgot her birthday. Even though it was their anniversary of when they met and it was the same day as hers. To make up for it, he called the florist and had the biggest, ugliest most hideous plant you can imagine delivered. Some men just don't get it. And shouldn't!...

One year was a Laurel and Hardy Wine Bottle Holder Thingy - I hate laurel and Hardy!!!! - that was from my Mother Another was an unwanted wedding gift that my sister passed on to me as my xmas present - horrid red crystal candal holders - with dust and all on the lid! I think both were showing their dislike to my unconventional lifestyle (and they do not have a clue about my interest in bdsm!!).

OH MY GOD. One year, my then husband told me he had ordered a wonderful gift that I would love for Winter Solstice. He really hammed it up and kept mentioning it to me. I got as excited as a golden retriever asked for the 10th time, "Do you want to go for a walk?!?" I couldn't imagine what it was, but I knew it would be GREAT! The gift was delayed, so my excitement rose even further. Eventually it arrived. The ugliest fucking lingerie -- his and hers -- that you have ever seen. Cheap polyester, icky feeling, an ugly print and unpleasant colors. The word "schmateh" would apply here. I am not good at hiding my emotions, so he knew that it was not a hit. It was so bad that I wondered if it was his way of saying that he wasn't happy with our relationship. Or it was a bad joke. The lingerie was so bad that I was clueless as to how to interpret it. I should have just realized that my husband (God love him) had no eye for clothing. Instead I really put him through the mill while I tried to grok why he had given them as a gift. It was so bad. laughing Mss

The worst gift I ever recieved was from my exhusband. He had been hinting at wanting me to bake more often, but i never had time. So, for the holidays he got me a muffin tin, a rolling pin, several boxes of cake mix and some spatulas. That was IT.

kittinSol -> RE: Your Worst Gift (12/10/2008 3:17:03 PM)
I would have put the muffin tin on his head and whacked the rolling pin up his arse with the spatula.

I think I might have used at least one of them!

A friend of mine hinted very clearly to her boyfriend that she wanted "something round" (pointing to ring finger) for Christmas. When I later heard that he was buying her winter tires (very loving for a woman who was working as midwife in rural New Hampshire, but utterly lacking in romance), I wished fervently that I could be a fly on the wall when they exchanged gifts. Mss

I'm partial to home decor with leaf and vine patterns, so one year my mother got me this...this...fern thing....It was like a metal sculpture of fern that you hang on the wall, and there were two matching candle holders to hang with it. It was just hideous...the color was an obnoxious unnatural looking green and the whole thing just looked so cheesy. She had purchased it from a catalog, so she had only seen it in the photos where it looked much better. Even she thought it was awful when I unwrapped it. I don't have the heart to throw it away, so I still have it stored somewhere, but there's no way I'm hanging it up. Maybe someday I'll own a place with a barn on the property and I'll put it up in there. lmao. The best gift I've ever gotten was from my ex husband. It was a gorgeous pair of Gucci pumps, they were the black monogram canvas with the horsebit buckle across the vamp, and a stacked wood stiletto heel. To die for.
