What is the worst or weirdest Christmas gift you have ever received from a spouse, g/b friend, lover, or s/o?


I was given a shirt in a size SMALL, when I was at my heavest weight and wearing a size 2X Shirt....

    Huge orange rubber gloves with bumps all over them. Supposedly, you use them to hold hot potatoes while you take the skin off before making potato salad. Thing is, I peel my potatoes first and the person who gave me the gloves knows that. Such an odd gift! Hideous-looking, too!

    One year I got 7 or 8 angel figurines....from my Mother. I don't collect things of that nature, especially not angels. :huh:

    I always hate receiving clothing because inevitably it's always 100% something I would never pick out or wear.

    My parents got me a fedora when I was in high school. WTF? I think they though it was a trendy thing but I have never been trendy in my whole life. My mom also got me a vest once. I don't do vests. After almost 35 years, I think she finally knows me.

    now, wait a min here, was it a Leatherman? b/c that's the gift that makes me propose!

    i got a bunny once, it was that hard plastic, covered w/ velvet. it was holding a wooden carrot. the best part of the gift was trying to figure out if it was a gag or not.

    I had the opposite problem -- my boyfriend bought me a sweatshirt that I really loved, but he gave me an XL when I really wear a S/M. :huh:

    My ex-husband (note the EX) gave me a handheld video game that HE wanted. I never played it and I let him keep it in the divorce. :)

    My mom gives me framed pictures of garden things with cutesy quotes on them or note paper with cats on it. Stuff you would either give to a 10 year old or a 60 year old.

    I would rather have socks or tools.

    my mother-in-law insists on buying me clothes. she thinks that I wear too much black and apparently am not girly enough. she gets me bright, goofy, frilly, girly things that I would NEVER ever wear. on top of that, she always buys them much, much too big. I don't want to be an a-hole about it, but seriously? I have things sitting in bags ready for donations that still have tags on them from last year ... I will wear the least embarrassing ones to her house every now and then to show that I'm kind of a team player though.

    also, the basket of tampons ... HAHAHAHA wow. that is awesome. I'm sure that's exactly what the 16 year old you was hoping for that year :)

    My grandma gave me a tool for the car so you can cut the seatbelt or break the window if needed. Thanks for the doomsday thoughts.

    Year old chocolate from my then boyfriend's mother.

    I don't have concrete proof that it was a year old. But she was notorious for shopping 'day after' sales, and hoarding, and didn't like me. Chocolate from that shop is always amazing, and this was so bad I through it away. I considered taking it back from the store, but having suspicions that they'd say, "We didn't even SELL this product this year," wasn't as demoralizing as having them actually SAY it.

    Also, a remote control fart machine from my now ex-boss. But that wasn't a total loss, because I regifted to my FIL who loved it.

    When my brother and his ex were still married she gave me an 'Orgasm Donor' t-shirt. In front of the whole family.
    She was from crazytown so it was to be expected.

    When I was like 9, there was a Cuban kid that lived next door who gave me frilly underwear for Christmas and insisted it was a tradition in Cuba. I don't know if it is or not, but it was kind of creepy.

    My husband one year got me:
    * A plain gray steering wheel cover
    -and-
    * A small space heater


    Really, though, I'm just grateful for the gift of having him in my life, so actual "presents" are not that big of a deal.
