    I'm not entirely sure how to describe it, but I will try.

    It was a picture of a waterfall in a giant, gold, plastic frame that was supposed to be plugged in to an outlet. When plugged in, it lit up and a mechanism behind the picture would move in a failed attempt to make the photo "come to life". There were also sound effects of water splashing and birds tweeting.

    :indifferent:

    Ummm, I actually kind of dig those. I'd never have one in my house, but if I see one at a store, I stand there staring at it for a few minutes.

    My worst gift was a plate with Jesus and a prayer on it. I'm an atheist.

    Hehehe. Yeah I admit I like those.:embarassed: I see them in Chinese restaurants and I just stare at them forever.

    Maybe you just got a particularly bad one? Though it's probably just my lack of taste...

    Worst was as a child... large family get-together. They drew names for gifts. Someone got things mixed up and I ended up with a wrestling board game. I think Hulk Hogan was on it or something.

    Truly - I have been scarred for life. I still cannot stand the male soap opera and I refuse to watch it with my hubby. Bleck.

    We got a clock one year that was horrible. It was cheap "gold" coated plastic with actual dead moths on the hands and other garish decorations.
    We bit our tongues and said thank you. The other couple burst out laughing.
    This clock had been making the rounds as a joke gift and the terms were that you had to keep it and re-gift it as a serious gift.

    My mil and her sister bought diet pills and weight loss vitamins for me for Christmas one year. I threw them away and went and ate a plate of fudge instead. I'm proof that until you're ready to get healthy-ain't nothin nobody can do to make you change!!

    Oh, my word! That's awful!!

    I'm vegan. I have been vegetarian for 17 years, since I was 10, and vegan for 4. My father sent me a box of Omaha Steaks for my birthday last year. My neighbor thought he'd hit the jackpot when I gave him $50 worth of steak out of the blue though...so I guess one man's trash is another's treasure!

    My mother-in-law (I love you mom) sent me a plant for my birthday one year....have to admit that was probably the worst gift ever!!!!! I still harass her about it when it comes up. BTW - I was 25, am I the only 25y/o guy that would think a plant for his birthday sucked?

    Pretty much anything my MIL has given me. She was a hoarder with a shopping addiction (she had a massive stroke and so that's kind of behind her now) so she would buy whatever she found on sale and figure out who to give it to. I have received an electric tea kettle thingy, one of those hairdryers with a rotating brush attached ( I have naturally curly hair), a cheap plastic mirror with some ugly picture painted on it. OLD chocolate. Two years in a row I got empty boxes that you store photos in. Those were a real treat! LOL

    MY MIL (not my biggest fan) game me this small rug once that had cats on it. I am a total dog person. I have had at least 1 dog in my house since the day she met me, most of the time more than one, I never speak of cats, and she doesn't have any animals??? WHY??? And one time a purple modern vase, my whole house is decorated in antique/ western decor. Just where does a purple modern vase fit into spurs, barb wire and antique barber chest??
    My MIL is like this. A year after we got married, our wedding present arrived. It was a country quilt. blech. My house doesn't have any patterns, it's contemporary, with a gray blue and aqua color scheme. This thing is ivory and hunter green with the ugliest pattern on it. Really?

    Pretty much every single gift I get from her is retarded and goes straight to goodwill. I feel no obligation to bring these things out when she comes over. But it's getting harder and harder each year to put on a smile and say thank you.

    The only win was the year she asked me what I wanted. I told her some chocolate dipped strawberries. How could she *kitten* that up? Well, she felt they were too expensive, so she bought me a chocolate fondue maker. I guess I get to make my own. But the fondue maker plugs in and the insert comes out and is dishwasher safe, so I've actually used it quite a few times. All because she refused to get me what I really asked for. Don't ask me what I want anymore, lady. She spent as much on the fondue maker as she would have on 6 deliciously covered strawberries, so whatever.

    I just died! I want this in my house so freaking badly. This is the kind of thing my friends would get me because I would think it's hilarious and laugh hysterically.

    I had a bf who had too much money, he bought me some really expensive Liz Taylor stuff...the kind that smells like money and comes in a bag....I gave it away. I don't like chocolates, I'd rather have something fruity, he never believed me and had his friend in Belgium ship me a hug box of Belgium chocolates...my sister and best friend were thrilled.
