    This is sorta gross. My brothers like to pull "shenanigans" on Christmas. One year they had their friend poop in a cookie tin and they gave it o my sisters boyfriend. They video taped the whole thing! They gave it to him on the porch outside with all their friends around. He was like "ugh why does this smell so bad?" The boyfriend thought it was hilarious- and they all watched the tape of his disgusted reaction over and over- while drinking holiday drinks. Every one was cracking up, and my parents were shaking their head bewildered by their sons strange accomplishments.

    I always end up getting at least one crappy gift, but the trophy winner has to be the year that my husband (then my fiance) got me tires. TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!! At least he didn't get me a vacuum cleaner or a set of pots and pans.:laugh: :laugh: Funny, because I could use some new tires now, the back ones are a little bald from one too many burnouts.

    I bet Max would think that's funny, it would go nicely with the "Cooking with Pooh" thread he started the other day.:laugh:

    Last year at Christmas:

    Picture my family on Christmas morning. We begin to open presents. My father gets a new MacBook laptop. Lovely. My mother gets a new Mac Desktop. Lovely. My sister gets an iPhone AND a new iPod nano. I get a hair dryer.
    After raiding the apple store, they spent Christmas setting up their new electronics while I dried my hair over and over and over.

    The worst present I ever received was from my Uncle when I was 12...
    I am the oldest granddaughter and at the time I had 4 boy cousins that were around the same age..
    so I open my present and the box is a new radio but when I open the box its filled with new underwear...
    He thought it was funny.....I was so mad the whole night!!!!
    To top it off my cousins teased me forever....
    How could anyone do that to a 12 year old girl! UGH:embarassed: :frown: :sick: :grumble:

    A box of nuts covered in chocolate.

    This by no means compares to the vulture, the hair dryer, the tin of poop....

    I like frogs. I have a nice collection of frogs. But I don't just buy something because it's a frog, it has to be cute or unique... you know. Well, evidently my enjoyment of frogs makes everyones Christmas shopping easy, because you would not believe some of the weird/ugly/just plain wrong frogs I've gotten. I have a plasticky rubber frog that is wearing a santa hat (mind you, he's a foot, foot and a half tall), who taps his foot and croaks out Christmas carols. He sounds like he's drunk. I've got another frog that farts (ok, farts make me laugh, and this frog sits next to the farting Santa I have). I've got dollar store frogs that are just plain ugly. And one time, I had someone give me a live frog. Not a cute frog. Just an ugly frog. In a bowl. I had to go and get a terrarium and all the stuff for it, and the damn thing died a couple of weeks later.

    I'm starting to get sick of frogs now.

    My husband went through a period of time where he thought "as seen on tv" automatically meant "quality"...or he was just trying to make me insane. There was the chia pet (that grew mold), the clapper, the super duper lint buster, the Euro Sealer (it re-sealed potato chip bags...sometimes), etc.. It got really old really fast. Not the worst gifts, but something that always made me say, "why did you waste your money on this?!"

    Pett - my grandma is like that with buying me turtles...except I don't like turtlest so I don't know why she feels the need to buy them for me!!

    A new toilet seat. My husband got me a new toilet seat and cover. He wrapped it up, packed it in the car, drove it all the way to my in-laws where we were spending Christmas, and then allowed me to open it in front of everyone. I was so embarrassed and he was totally baffled as to why I was so upset!:explode: :grumble: :mad: I explained to him that just because I needed a new toilet seat and cover didn't mean he was to get it and wrap it up as one of my Christmas presents! We have laughed and laughed about it ever since.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I thought it was the best preasent ever but apparently my relatives who have NO sense of humor didnt think it was amusing.. Thank god my mom has a good sense of humor...
    I want my own knife set like this .. but it was a little pricey... but well worth the laughs!!! especially when the relatives looked at it with pure shock and discust on their faces :laugh: :laugh:

    I also bought my Father last year a "copy of a picture that was autographed" by George Bush!!! He thinks bush is the biggest reject ever... so it was pretty amusing to see the look and to get the ohhh ummm welll thanks:laugh: poor george bush only comes out at christmas and faces the wall the whole time he is out :laugh:

    I cant post on this topic but I do remember reading in a magazine once something you are allergic to(in my case almost any dessert cause Im allergic to eggs) or something as snide as a gym membership(what the heck are you TELLING Me) wait I do remember something bad. It wasnt awful but I work in an old folks home and the residents love to give up cookies and candy and they are FAR from low fat!!!!!!!!!!!

    When I was about 10-12 years old my Grandmother gave me a Spirograph set for my birthday and Christmas every year until my parents finally convinced her that I had already gotten several from her before. She did the same thing with model airplanes and lego for a while as well. I've had several relatives give the ugly sweaters which I refuse to even keep let alone wear.

    I once got a pineapple from a child in my class. Not a bad present but original! It had a bow on it
