    Your Worst Pressie

    What's the worst pressie you've eve received? Mine was delightfully given to me and, when I opened it, it was a bottle of Cillit Bang and three rolls of kitchen roll!

    Can anybody beat that?

    I got a few presents in my time where I have just cringed.. My ex mother-in-law got me a jumper (2 sizes to big) it was a horrible blue colour (I like blue but this was bad) with red bead love hearts all over it.. it was horrid.. She also gave me the same present 2 years in a row

    My "friend" (I use quotes cause I have know this girl 16 years and yet present has been bad) got me a blue photo frame with shells on it (like something a child would make at school) and for the past 2 years she has gotten me celeb stuff (I don't like celeb stuff, she does).. she actually admitted she got it for herself but gave it to me in the end

    And finally my ex husband got me an empty jewelery box... I threw it at him...

    I have to point out, I am not a hard person to buy for.. in fact I am on of the easiest which is why it annoys me that people can get it wrong.. I would happy with a stick wrapped in tinsel.. I think about the person when I buy presents and I don't just buy something and hope it fits..

    My ex once got a condom and 2 dead batteries

    OMG, how horrible I have had rubbish presents in the past but the electric carving knife I never wanted or needed that I got some years ago from OH does not compete with yours, I feel. And the obvious articles of clothing, he now keeps the receipts so I can get what I really like after

    Wow, some terrible presents received here!

    I didn't receive this personally, but famous in my family is the time that my aunt gave everyone a hairdryer type thing to defrost car windscreens (and by everyone, I mean even her own sisters!) They were really cheap and nasty too. The same aunt also gave someone a doily one year.

    There was a suggestion at work to have a "bad" criss krindle where you basically find the worst thing in your house and give it to your secret santa.. I think I would win the worst present giver!!

    I've had a few:

    - Used cosmetics
    - A condom
    - Something for men; I don't remember what it was; I promptly binned it.
    - A barbie cup that the same people had already given me!
    - Make-up and hair set thing that was far too young for me and that I found in the sale a few days later when I went shopping.
    - Barbie make-up (I was nearly 18 at the time!)

    I think the worst was probably cheap make up sets, but compared to what has been posted here, that's not bad at all.
    Thanks CrazyLea
