I'll go first, the worst gift I ever received was a toilet brush, with a pair of rubber gloves
can you believe it!!
well I can't match a toilet brush!!! but one year my husband gave me a bag of wood shavings!! in his defence it was because he was making me a mini chest of drawers and he hadn't finished them in time so the shavings were a hint of what was to come!
ReplyDeleteha ha! I haven't recvd an odd Christmas gift, but a similar gift, right after we moved into our house almost 4 yrs ago, a huge box came and I called my husband and asked what it was, he said it was for me and because he loved me very much, I opened it up and it was a steam mop- for the new hardwood floors in the house, THANKS!!- love you too Babe - I said...lol
ReplyDeleteTeachers sometimes get really weird Christmas gifts. I think my weirdest gift from a student was a box of cooking spices, and not just regular spices, they were things I had never heard of before.
ReplyDeletethankfully, i've never had an odd christmas gift! ugly, yes ... a scarf - wide, long, longer fringe, thick, scratchy wool, sickly green.
ReplyDeleteThis year I got the books "Everyone Poops" and "The Gas We Pass" for Christmas! My kids have been playing a made up game called "lets be gas" ever since!
ReplyDeleteI think you win for the worse gift! A few years ago hubby gave me a stainless steel garbage can where you step on the handle and the lid opens.
ReplyDeleteOne year I got a miter saw. Many of my friends thought it was a horrible gift and that my husband was extremely selfish. But actually I asked for it. So I guess that doesn't really count as a bad gift, does it!? :o)
ReplyDeleteMy Aunt made me a sweater vest, but she had forgotten I was grown up and it was way too small. I still kept it for years because I loved her.
ReplyDeletewow...the worse gift was a gift certificate to a local quilt shop..The shop was one of those I never go to!! It was getting ready to close (which he didn't know) so I was stuck buying old fabric...
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!! not much funny gifts except for bathtime pait for me!
ReplyDeleteHmm...I think it is probably the bathroom scale (however I didn't have one and I wanted one) or the really crappy frying pan that worked really well for about one use and after that everything else stuck too it so I threw in away. Or maybe that my mother-in-law gives me (and all of her kids and kids-in-law) underwear every single year, at least its useful...A toilet brush is far worse though.
ReplyDeleteI had to think really hard for this one. I think it's the madame doll fully dressed like one of those old timey girls with low cut dresses and it even even had hose. I received it from an Aunt I never met when I was a kid. I was too young at the time and so NOT into that. My Gram loved it; so, I gave it to her. :-)
ReplyDeleteMy stepmother gave me the wrong size sheets that had the ugliest orange flowers on them I had ever seen. There was not a thing in my house that was orange and she knew it! I know she did it because she really didn't like me. Every year it was some ungodly nasty thing! And please don't anyone say "It's the thought that counts." Because in her case that just was not true! lol
