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.

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!

Re-gifted earrings. And by re-gifted, I mean one still had ear gunk crusted on the post.0

Cash. From a boyfriend in college. Sure, college students need $$$, but it would've been nice if he put some thought into it.0

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.0 -
Mine was one of those boxes of chocolate covered cherries....disgusting I hate those things and couldn't believe someone gave that to me....its funny now that i think of it, but at the time I was speechless!!!!0

I like my gym, however if someone gave me a gym membership as a present i would be like "Soooooo I'm fat?"0 -

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 eyes0 -
A clown doll. I hate clowns!!!!0

This is bad for you, I would have liked it though sadly lol0 -
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.

A set of pliers from my husband for my 30th birthday.0

I know there must have been something bad in all these years, but I can never think of a truly bad one. The worst I can come up with is when my supervisor gave me a pair of gold earrings because she noticed I never wore gold jewelry. They were actually pretty nice, but huh? "I notice you don't like this, so I got it for you!"0

A MyFitnessPal t-shirt.0

In a big box there was a couple disposable razors, worn shirts, used hair products and other used things that my sister thought she was being BEYOND nice giving to me for my 16th birthday.0

ewwwww
how did you have the will power not to gag?0 -
Not one, but two fleece sweaters I had seen my MIL wear the previous year, from Walmart. I guess she grew out of them. She also got my son (almost 3 at the time) 4 dollar store toys my mom had bought him earlier in the year, just 'cause they were only a dollar.0

One year when I was in middle school, my mom made me and my sister homemade backpacks with our full names in LARGE letters sewn on the back! I was so embarrassed that I would ditch the backpack in the trees in front of our house and carry my stuff to the bus stop!0

Ex-in-laws gave me a lighter that looked like a rifle for christmas. Pretty sure they got it from Cowtown for $1.990
