    Everything I got was perfect apart from the huge boxes of chocs, I gained 3. I may just leave them out for the family to eat as i'm not as big a fan as chocolate as I used to be. :-)

    Several years ago my sister in law gave me box of PENIS SHAPED PASTA. Not only was it absurd, it had obviously been won at a hen party/Anne Summers arty, opened and re-selotaped back before she wrapped it and gave me it. I'd understand if we only gave comedy/token presents, but we don't :noway:

    O my - sorry you were on the receiving end of that- I can only imagine the expression on your face opening that little gem.

    it was all the rage where i lived several years ago and i remember what it felt like opening the wrapping to find it inside- not something you want to cook and serve although i fantasized about inviting the giver over for dinner - serving everyone else a great meal and her the pasta .... but alas never got up the nerve

    Standard: box of Russell STover Chocolate which I only had three of over the last 4 days.

    But even worse is what I baked!!!! Standard chocolate chip nut cookies (used butter!), but then chopped some of them up to line the bottom of the graham cracker crust of the Banana Cream Chocolate Fluff Pie I invented....threw together....ate 2 pieces of....

    Fortunately, my son killed most of it!!!!

    My fiance and I recieved about $150 worth of gift certificates to our favorite local restaurant :S I guess I know where my cheat meals will be for the next few weeks. Actually, it isn't a "bad" gift, just bad for my diet (they make a homemade poutine with gravy that takes 3 days to make, its more like a demi glace, and its deadly, plus gourmet hamburgers)

    I would think that getting any gift is a good gesture. Worst "gift" would be not to get one because you were insignificant to think about.

    One of my close friends actually gave me some huge smarties...after I have explained to her that I am changing the way I eat and to please not get me any more junk food. Her explanation: "Well I wanted you to have something on hand for if you get stressed out and need it!" Way to be supportive... :noway:

    The box of turtles I keep eating. It's the only chocolate I like. So I will be keeping these and working out a little extra.

    My aunt always gives out tins of homemade sweets and candies including fudge, chocolate covered caramels, peppermint bark, chocolate covered cake balls, cookies and an assortment of other things. I love it every single year but this year it was definitely what got me off calorie count a day or two. Yum!

    Hedgehogs

    And Hives. Still not sure what they are from. Going to an allergy specialist but they've been making working out less fun and really putting me in an awful mood as well as interrupting my sleep which always seems to affect my choices in food :(
