Not given to/by me, but.... crabs. The living hoochie-coochie kind. [:'(] You know someone got 'em on a 'special' day!

The worst gift i ever got was a GPS unit.  My ex got it for me well before I had a clue how to use it... becasue he wanted it and since he had to teach me how to use it he was goingto get to use it al the time.

Now, itd be a great gift but it wasnt bought for me

For my b-day one year, my ex-husband, note the EX part!, gave me a blender......he said that he liked milk shakes, and now he could make them!  I don't think he ever made a single one.....i left it for him when we separated!

Creepiest gift ever ... when I was about 11, child-molester uncle gave all the girl cousins panties.  Lovely.

This is a gift that was given with the best of loving intentions, and it just went wrong through no fault of his own. It was my 40th birthday, and I had prepared myself for it. I know a lot of folks, women especially, get kind of bummed by the big Four-Oh, but I had gotten myself all psyched up to think of it as a good thing, and take it in my stride. For my birthday, my husband has always given me a bouquet of fresh flowers, usually either red roses or a nice arrangement of pretty flowers. I was working on my birthday, and the florist delivered the flowers, and it was a big arrangement of DRIED flowers! Nice and colorful fall colors, but all I could think of was these dried and shriveled up blossoms. I had one of those "female" emotional meltdowns, something I hardly ever do, and ranted and boohoo'ed over it for most of the day. You know, sort of "now that I am old, I only deserve DEAD flowers???" My poor husband was taken totally by surprise; his reasoning was, this bouquet was more expensive, it was pretty, it was the fall colors of October, and it could be saved to commemorate this special birthday. Some things you just can't explain to a guy. *L*

I can't claim to be perfect, either, though. One year, for his birthday, when we had bought some lakefront property, and all he could talk about was how much he was looking forward to clearing it off and starting to landscape it, I bought him a chainsaw, and he has not let me live THAT one down, either.

A pair or red fuzzy bedroom slippers in the wrong size for my 18th bday. Given to me by my very first boyfriend. I think he could tell by the expression on my face that I thought the gift sucked. lol

My Mother is notorious for giving some of the worst gifts ever:

For Christmas one year she gave my youngest son "Owl Puke" yeah... you read that correctly Owl Puke. Apparently it was genuine owl puke and the idea was to dig through it and pull out the undigested bones.

For Christmas last year my Mother gave me a book. I am an avid reader so I was totally into the fact that it was a book... however, when I got it open the title I believe went something like The History of the Fart Throughout Literature. It is tucked away somewhere in a closet and will eventually be sold at a yard sale.

My ex-husband (I'm noticing a theme with a lot of us) once gave me a video game, Black & White, for Christmas. He was never good at giving gifts, so I had written him a wishlist, just as he did for me. No video games were on the list, not one. He didn't get me anything off the list, just this game which I didn't want. His reasoning was that he wanted to be original, instead of buy what I asked for, and he knew I tried the test version of Black & White.

Umm, I DID try it, and it was fun for about 10 minutes, which is my attention span for video games. As for the list, I gave it to him for a reason, you know? Being original is fine if you actually know what you're doing.



Vendaval -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 12:53:45 PM)

I have a brother whose wife is a shop-a-holic.  She seriously cannot
leave the house with buying something and has all of their
credit cards maxed out.
 
So the Christmas gift giving is an orgy of materialistic excess
for everyone else present; clothing, electronics, jewelry, etc.
 
And I get 2 small paperbacks.  She easily could have purchased
a nice book collection or some hard-bound classics, but hey,
she makes no secret of her hatred for me.



lighthearted -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 1:23:40 PM)

for my 16th birthday, my mom gave me an alarm clock.  an ugly, LED (?) one.  nice.

every year for xmas, my dearest, most favorite relative, my great auntie, gives me the worst gifts ever.  this year, it was a "Caress" gift pack.  but, when the annual White Elephant party rolls around at a friend's house every January, all my friends are always VERY curious as to what my auntie gave me!



SDFemDom4cuck -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 1:34:05 PM)

LOL Memories of my 30th ensued with this one. I had no problem turning 40. 30 was a bitch, and so was I. I cried for several days prior to it. My then fiancee had done nothing but talk about how special he wanted to make the day for me knowing how hard I was taking it. He arranged for my son to go visit family for the weekend. Reminded me to take the weekend off. Sent me out to go buy a wonderful new outfit. Nothing else was said of the plans and a small argument ensued over what was going to be occuring.  


Returned home from shopping and took a bath and dressed. Then waited and waited...and waited some more. I finally fell asleep on the couch...still waiting. At 1130 the ass (note he's my former fiancee for a reason...this was one of them) walks in to the house drunk, asking how I enjoyed my bday and proceeding to present me with an enormous stuffed cow. Oh yeah, that's what I wanted for such a special special bday! Try jewelry next time butt head.

2nd worst present ever.....Enormous stuffed cow

Best gift I ever gave myself....got rid of the fiancee.



RobertCloud -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 2:30:14 PM)

Worst gift ever from a very nice family that had invited me over for the holidays... They gave me a tartan sweater that would have looked better as a kilt on a Scottish Piper than a sweater but to make matters worse... I am 6'-1 and 350 pounds and it was a MEDIUM...



diz -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 3:43:57 PM)

an EX... yep the theme is still running bought me for Valentines day... wait for it..................... AN IRONING BOARD COVER!!!!    enough said i think!

Honestly I don't think anyone's attention span for that game is any more than 10 minutes.  There's just too much waiting involved.  Wait for energy, wait for resources, wait wait wait while the enemy gods seem to have unlimited everything.



LadySeraphina -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 8:12:48 PM)

Good point Hydro. Many people seem willing to go back again and again, even if they don't stick with it for long at a session. I am not one of these people. As for training my creature? Eat the worshippers or give them food, it's all the same to me.



HydroMaster -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/6/2007 9:21:54 PM)

Oh, mine was always trained for evil.  Feed the people=bad boy, burn down the village store=good boy.  But I don't think I've ever had the patience to make it past the second island.



RobertCloud -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/7/2007 8:01:26 AM)

It is hard to top OWL-POOP or getting a gift from your grandmother than your cousin had given her the year before. However, how about getting the exact same gift back that you gave to someone the previous year. That happened to my soon to be ex... Her nephew gave her the exact same book she had given him the previous year, it even had the same five dollar bill she had hidden in it as a surprise for him. He had never bothered to open the book.



JerseyKrissi72 -> RE: Worst Gifts Ever..? (4/7/2007 8:12:40 AM)

my ex husband bought me a fake diamond and tried to pass it off for something real[8|] so i gave him a real slap and tried to pass it off as my appreciation
