Worst gift ever?

My worst ever was a birthday present from an older friend. It was a hideous second hand dress in grey, a colour which gives me the unlovely six feet under look and of a design which was never fashionable. My friend gave it to me with the words: “it was too big for me so I thought it might fit you.” It must have been at least size 26 and I was a 14. Fortunately, a charity shop accepted it.

It was a wedding,,, 1st wedding for me I was given £5 and Mum made a few sandwiches, my sister (5 yrs younger than me) had a huge wedding top hat and tails. 2nd wedding for me I was given a frying pan from my parents, my sisters 2nd wedding she was given a Kenwood Chef food mixer.

A box of cleaning products and polish, a disgusting many coloured plastic poncho and a plastic container for video tapes. From my late but not lamented husband.

I’ve been on my own for 6 years now and can honestly only remember one gift from my husband in our 28-year marriage: a pair of tiny headphones! I’m sure he bought me the usual perfume, chocolates and the like, but I’ve erased it all from my brain. Perhaps he gave me the headphones so I could listen to music and block out all his shenanigans! I’ve never looked back since I divorced him.

Youngeil surely at age 4 it would made sense for his father to go into the shop with him to choose a suitable gift! I blame his father

I had given two mugs to a raffel my friend won them and said was happy with them especially as I had sent them
6 months later she gave them back to me as a birthday present and said she didn’t need them as was a bit short they had coffee stains in

I think these show that not much - if any - thought went into the gift at all!

I'm just laughing so much and noticing the number of 'exes'!

Pooohbear 2811….. what an awful story. Your awful mother . We as s family have loads of birthdays in December including mine on 2nd…my granddaughter 20th ….my uncle..9th….my father was the 11th…and two nephews on Xmas day…..none or us would dream of ignoring the December birthdays….hardly people fault they’re born in December!!!

One of my freinds gives me a childrens gift set of bubble bath every Xmas …in a nursery/cartoon character shape ( They’re cheaper !!) ….for five years nie she’s known I had to have my bath taken out to install a walk in shower as my husband could no longer manage bath! She sees and hears mr saying “ I have no bath”….but still I get it …every year!!

From my ex DiL some Tesco vouchers she'd saved up from shopping trips. They were useless to me as they were for restaurants in another county.

I think that DoraMarr wins for the recipient of weird gifts!! 😄😄

I've just received a footfile from a friend who considers me her best friend, refers to me as her sister OMG, it also had a price ticket on it still of £1.
Years ago a friend gave me a tube of Immac, don't know why as I'm not hairy at all.
My mother also received some nail clippers from her sister, she didnt know what they were at the time but upon my mother's death many years ago I found them, she'd kept them all that time!

My Mother and father brought the most beautiful Angor twinset for me as a souvenir from The Argentine - I was so allergic wearing it, I would come out in heat spots. My parents knew I was allergic to wool, but it never occurred to them that Angora is wool!

My ex-husband bought me a pair of slippers size 8 , when I was only a size 4 1/2. He said they should fit as he'd drawn round my current ones onto a piece of paper and took them into shop and tried their stock on the paper until he found one that matched! Another year was a potato cutter to make chips. Needless to say he is now my ex!

My worst as a child was nothing.....as my birthday is 4 weeks before Christmas I got a birthday present one year and a Christmas present the next. I would get a few wee bits in my stocking but nothing from Santa. Quite hard as a child to watch your siblings opening theirs when you have nothing. My mother wondered why I grew up disliking her.

The worst present I received was today....Nothing!
When we said we wouldn't do presents to each other this year, he thought I meant it!!!

For my birthday I was 'treated' to a football match. Bolton v Blackpool - in December. It was freezing and I loathe football. We lasted 7 years!

Wheel trims from my now Ex

A pizza cutter from my (soon-to-be ex) and a pair of slipper socks from his sister!

A box of drinking straws - some with chewed ends!

I brought my boss a bottle of whiskey he gave me a fridge magnet what he had got from a service manager he then felt guilty and then put money in my Christmas card.

A handbag made from real kangaroo fur bought in Australia from my mil

Only ever one from the husband, one of those dressing table sets, consisting of brush, comb and mirror. Oh how disappointed I was. In recent years from anyone toiletries, I could stock super drug and I don't smell 😂

My friends son has just bought her an unwrapped bag of Epsom salts for Christmas. We had to laugh but could tell she was really insulted.
