My college boyfriend gave me a velvet wallhanging of the dogs playing poker. Um. didn't really know what to say when I opened up the package.
my parents had this hanging up in our house for years. when they divorced, my dad cerimoniously handed it to me.... gave it back to my mom haha.
as for me, (& I've posted this on a similar thread before) I one time got a secret santa gift comprised of USED/scratched scratch tickets (not winners of course) and some coal.... yay?!!?! funny?!!0 -
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.
I got this one, with a note saying to keep it in the glove box. Um.....I won't be able to REACH the glove box if I can't get out of my seatbelt!0 -

Lol see that was another thing, I figured that no matter where I put it in a accident I wouldn't be able to find it or reach it.0 -
Every party needs a pooper. :indifferent:
We got a HUGE pooper lol.
You guys have gotten some crazzzyyy gifts!0 -
when I was 20 years old I got a snow globe full of jungle animals for Christmas from my uncle. It just seemed strange, and I don't even expect a gift from him, so...
Love these, though,0 -
i'm such a jerk that i literally took myself shopping and told my significant other that he could reimburse me as my christmas gift....:/ but i got exactly what i wanted as a consequence!0

when I was 15 or 16 my Grandma gave me a basket with pads, tampons and underwear. :noway:

The mother in law gave me a size SMALL pink frilly shirt.
Um.... Have we even met?
OT, but I used to have the same James Dean and Marilyn picture! I
it so much but it got water damage so I had to throw it out.
My Birthday is just before Christmas (the 3rd) for many years in a row my mom has given me Christmas decorations for my birthday. :grumble: So in addition to getting a combo gift I also get useless decor that I see maybe once a year (if I happen to like it) pour salt on the wounds. :laugh:0 -
I was given something similar. Extremely useful gift, which I carry in my car, and which as proved itself invaluable many times. Perhaps tools are best given to those who are smart enough to use them.A pair of pliers that fold up and fit in my pocket. :indifferent:

What an *kitten*. :laugh: What was the symbol behind the empty box? I mean, did HE have a thought/ reason behind it?0 -
My grandmother in law used to own a grocery store. She would go and grab things off the shelves like ink pens, deo, toothpaste, etc. and make everyone pull something from the bag. The first year she did it I laughed so hard I cried. My family puts a great deal of effort into Christmas so this was unthinkable to me. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0

Or..... You can just be lighthearted about it and understand that not everyone looks at practicality or ability to save a life with Christmas gifts. "Those who are smart enough to use them"? That was a pretty jerky thing to say! This is a light funny thread meant for amusement only. Nobody is truly complaining, just sharing things that in their opinions were not Christmas presents that they would have used or expected. Were you not taught the old adage "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all"? I think it may serve you well.0 -

Wind up sushi would be awesome!!!! Tell my grandma please!! I am 28 and she still gets me the little perfume sets meant for preteens. But one time, She got me a XXL sweatshirt with lighthouses embroidered on it with "MAINE" under them....... We live in Florida and she has never been to Maine and I was a L at the time. I love my grandma, she is a cute little lady!0 -
Nothing. Seriously, the first year we went to his father's house for Christmas, my now husband (then boyfriend) didn't get me anything (he just didn't know what to get me), it was TOTALLY awkward being the only one without any presents. Now if I want anything I tell him, including links as necessary, it works out.
My mother gets me some things I wonder about. Like a hello kitty kitchen play set. Yes I like Hello Kitty stuff (usually socks, panties, toasters, you know, things you use anyway), and I like to cook and bake, but I stopped playing with dolls 20 years ago.0 -

No just that he had 13 gifts and his Mother (Huge momma's boy) is superstitous so instead of finding something else he did the empty box... Yes he is an *kitten*!!!0 -
A California Pizza Kitchen gift card. They were trying to sabotage me and KILL me with processed foods and chemicals.
I JUST finished reading the other thread so this made me spew beverage all over....you owe me a coffee! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -
Well..it was for my birthday but I got a battery for a van that didn't work and that I didnt drive...he wanted to be practical....I still love him though.

but you got 13 actual gifts?
I call that f*cking lucky...I would be thrilled. I don't even get that many gifts TOTAL, from EVERYONE I know combined....
And personally I find the 14th box hilarious. :laugh:0 -
My FIL sends out gifts every year. He asks what we want/need, then buys what ever he finds. One year he sent all of his kids a sink plunger. The next year, he sent it again. Now I have 2 under the kitchen sink. It really is the thought. He is trying. Love him. The presents have gotten better since he let his current wife do some of the shopping.0

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....
um...I had almost the exact same situation--my then boy-friend brought me back a tee shirt from a trip that seriously looked like a children's tee shirt...I was 225 lbs at the time. And we lived together...he even did my laundry, he should have had some clue of my size lol...0 -

LMFAO...when I saw people quoting this, I assumed it was the guy who originally received that gift from his boss and was posting all over about it yesterday...I was gonna say, gee, you're really taking that one to heart, eh? :laugh:
Even funnier, after I read that whole thread...I made myself a frozen CPK pizza, just because I remembered I had it in the freezer...would have rather had the gift card LOL0 -
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
Ok, for the ones that aren't too embarrassing why don't you return them for their smaller counterparts so you know what they look like when they fit? For the other ones...return them and use the proceeds to get something you really want. With returning clothes so easy, I figure as long as it isn't nand-made, then you are golden. At least she didn't knit you a sweater that was 4 sizes too big. (though I guess you could just put through a few washer dryer cycles and get it to the right size.)0
