Worst gift ever?

The birthday gift was good but ............
he asked for it back two weeks later to give to his mother at Christmas as he hadn’t had time to get her anything.

to many to mention really - household appliances for birthdays and Xmas from my husband - usually replacements for busted ones.

One year my ex mother in law bought me 1 bri nylon pillowcase. Think it might have been a hint but it was another 20 years before I took it

I just remembered, my Mum and Dad, two weeks after my 21st birthday gave me a hairdryer, the sort with a shower cap type thing on your head and a tube attached to blow the air in from a heater you could carry like a shoulder bag (not like you could go very far from the plug?) ... what on earth?

I went to see them on my 21st birthday, after work, but they were busy watching TV and I didn't even get the offer of a sherry!

A top and shorts set from my MIL. She bought it for herself on holiday, wore it and found it was too small, so she wrapped it up for me for my birthday. She hadn't even washed it, there was a stain on the front, it smelled sweaty, and it was two sizes too big for me. It went straight in the bin after she left.

An engagement present sent through the post. A fragile glass cream jug and sugar basin set. One piece was smashed to smithereens but the intact one was horrible anyway!

My mother-in-law when she was alive used to be obsessed with car boot sales. One birthday she's bought me a jumper that smelt of sweat under the armpits.
No prizes for guessing what I done with that.

A Bexbissell carpet cleaner from my new husband on our first Christmas after we married.

My husband gave me a set of drain rods, together with a promise to teach me how to use them.
The marriage didn’t last long after that.

My (older, married) step sister gave me some wooden pegs for my 21st Birthday. My Parents gave me a wind up musical card!

Later in Life, my (40+ year old) step daughter gave me a broken Wine Rack with all the "Reduced to.." labels still on it!

A Pirex Jug about 20 years ago, my mother had noticed I didn’t have one

We had just moved into our first house and my father gave me roll of chicken wire fencing for my birthday. Another time it was a pair of pillow cases?

When I was a teenager in the 60s my boyfriend bought me a pair of orange and green tartan thick stockings!

Puice French camisole and a half-gallon bottle of Charlie perfume from my mother in law, when no GG had arrived after 3 years of marriage.

My late MIL used to buy be a pack of clothes American tan tights every single birthday and Christmas

My ex bought me a kitchen bin for Christmas once. He wasn’t an ex at the time.
Also a friend bought me a desk calendar for Christmas, I don’t work at a desk. I work outside. ?

The first Christmas after my marriage (first one!) my husband hinted that he had got me something 'gold' .... Oh was I excited!!

Then, came Christmas Day, a little present, I opened it and found ...

Two pairs of 'Golden Dawn' tights.

bath bombs, I do not have a bath, only a shower. Another time an out of date magazine (not even one I would have been interested in) and a small pack of travel wet wipes.

As an eight year-old, I spent all half term week weeding and digging my rich but tight Nanna's garden for her as she had arthritis and could no longer do it herself. My reward? A Fry's Chocolate Cream bar... that she'd not only opened but had bitten a lump off, teeth marks perfectly preserved. Gosh thanks Nanna.

We were given a set of place mats as a wedding present, which was very nice, until I used them for the first time and saw that they had dried gravy stains on them.

For my 18th from my fiancé… a pencil and an apple.

So that relationship was over pretty soon

My sister, one Christmas not so long ago, bought me the most hideous, garish bright green costume jewellery set, a necklace and bracelet. I took them to my January WI meeting for the 'unwanted gits' table. Needless to say no-one picked them up and they went to a charity shop!!
There is no love between us, never has been, never will be, but that took the biscuit as the most revolting present ever.

Drove miles to a nearby town to buy my then husband a brand new sheepskin coat for Christmas, I’d been saving all year!
From him I got a small plastic indoor watering can!
He became my Ex after 8 mean-spirited and violent 8 years!

When we were first married I told my husband, only half jokingly, that if he ever bought me a frying pan or any kind of household item as a present I’d divorce him. Just before we were divorced he bought me a frying pan. To his credit it was a good quality pan, and more than 20 years later is still in regular use.

An ex once gave me a large Barbour box for Xmas and I was so excited thinking it was that dark blue jacket that I’d been hinting about.
But no. It was a drab green cotton parka type of thing which came with its own tin of DIY waterproofing. My mother said she’d never seen anyone’s face drop so fast.
It was very expensive and I did exchange it (said it was too tight) for a nice ordinary non Barbour jacket plus about £150 on a store card which bought several birthday presents !
Ex husband’s first Christmas present to me was a steering wheel ?
