Before everyone jumps on me I ALWAYS APPRECIATE SOMEONE GIVING ME A GIFT, IT'S THOUGHTFUL AND DELIGHTFUL!!!!1

However, we are all grown ups and know there are some gifts you just have to smile and say thank you while inside you are shaking your head.

Mine was one of those oversized night shirts with cartoon cats all over it that said "I'm the Cat's Pajamas" when I was 22.

    believe it or not, a Gym membership..I made my sister get a refund as I refuse to go to those places :-)

    But yeah..my mom-in-law gave me a dallas cowboys cap as a gift and I just GLARED at it until someone pointed out thats like giving osama bin laden an american flag. she said it would suit me as I look good in blue!!!!

    Huge box under the tree with my name on it. I opened it - and inside is a giant Steve Urkel doll. I kid you not. Biggest let down ever!

    Cash. From a boyfriend in college. Sure, college students need $$$, but it would've been nice if he put some thought into it.

    Last year, my mom got me an ugly fake leather jacket. The best part was that it was at least 2 sizes too big and had no tags. I didn't have the heart to ask for the receipt, so it's in the back of my closet.

    It's really sweet that she tries to buy clothes and accessories for me, but we just don't have the same taste.

    I like my gym, however if someone gave me a gym membership as a present i would be like "Soooooo I'm fat?"

    well, the thing is..I was at the time, beyond " soooo fat" and everybody knew it. I spent the money on a mountain bike instead and the lbs just dropped off before my eyes

    Be very careful when telling your hubby that you like something. We were walking through a store one day and I saw some cute socks. I just offhandedly said, ' I love socks'. Well, for Christmas, he bought me 20 pair of socks. Now, I must add that they were not gym socks. He went to the mall and purchased 20 individual pairs of highend socks. Yes, I do love socks, but that is not really what I had in mind for Christmas.

    But, I love him dearly and he has been very good about taking the ribbing I give him about it. Needless to say, I have never gotten socks again. :)
