    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!"

    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.

    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. :)

    Too funny!

    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.

    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!

    We did a secret Santa thing at work one year... The woman who got me gave me USED/already scratched scratch tickets (not winners!) and a little baggie of plastic coal.


    Hilarious....!?

    Every year my dad gives us books. This might not be bad if they were authors I was interested in or books i could actually use. Instead he spends the year looking through book catalogs and if something looks interesting to him, he'll buy it. When arrives, he realizes that he doesn't have time to read it so it goes in the gift stack. Sometimes he'll even see a book and not realize that he already got one (in the gift stack) and order more. There have been Christmases where my mother, sister, and I ALL get copies of the same book (we live in the same house). This might not be a big deal if it was one or two titles but on average we each end up with about 40 new volumes to try and fit on our already over-filled bookshelves. We literally have an entire room devoted to books with full bookshelves on all walls, cabinets full of books, and stacks of books on the floor (as well as having bookshelves in our individual rooms) but it hurts my dad's feeling if we give them away because "they're gifts".

    "History of the Great White Shark" anyone?
