Weve had posts about what people are getting for christmas, but what is the worse pressies yous have received?

OH bought me a John Denver cd a few years back, had no idea who he was! Also i get loads of bubble bath stuff and i cant use it as i have sensitive skin and makes me itch.

OHs grandmother gave me a 1995 organiser in christmas 2000! Oh and his dad gave me chocolates and i HATE chocolate!

Goodness i sound so ungrateful! Oh last year OH bought me a nice stable rug for Mae, she wears 5ft6 rugs and he bought one that was 5ft, but at least i could change it.
 
Well my granny (on my dads side- my mums side isn't so deranged!) lives in scotland so she can live near my dad (who also lives in scotland) and therefore hardly ever see's me, and i think she still expects me to be a young child. But anyway to cut a long story short two years ago -when i was 14- i received a book called "My first Disney story", It didn't even have words in it, it was for little kids to look at and flick through the pictures before they learn how to read.

And i must say even with many hints and subtle promps she still hasn't managed to buy me anything age appropriate!
 
A pad of paper.
But in a strange way its also one of the best presents I've also been given.

I went out this year and really tried to get things that i thought my friends and family wanted. Got OH a camcorder as we are expecting our first bubba and would be nice to record the firsts
 
A gallon of car shampoo and a sewing box from my husband one year. I was not a happy bunny...
It's going to be a musto jacket from him this year
 
This one takes the biscuit. When I was 8 my uncle gave me a pack of 5 M&S plain white cotton knickers. I wanted a toy. His reasoning was that we were poor and I could put them to good use.
 
I love John Denver and Fudge!


Thankfully, due Christmas presents being bought during the year (rather than surprises on the actual day), I have not recieved a gift that I did not want or could not make some use of

One of these from a friend! I think she must have taken the CD out too! Never got that!

I dont even like Elvis! It eventually got stuck on the front of someones landrover and went to Le Mans! Apparently it raised a few comments!

Another year she gave me a flashing pen she'd got from Olympia as a freebie!

Mind you I did carpet her front garden one night.....

Oh i hate soft toys, ive about 5 boxes of them in my attic but OH still insists on buying me one.

Miss_Santa_Clause, wish i knew you earlier as i would have sent you the cd. Id never heard of John Denver, he said that he heard me talking about him?!?!
 
Perhaps you have heard his songs, without realising who was the actual singer, and your OH picked up on it?

My favourite, and probably the reason why I like him so much, is "Leaving on a Jet Plane"

My sister gave me a Star Wars pen when I was about 10. I was so NOT into Star Wars at the time, so was rather disappointed! Have been given out of date calendars, but the most irrelevent present was a silver lipstick.... I barely wear MAKE UP, let alone lipstick. Same person gave me a very tasteful *cough cough* ceramic Santa Claus....
 
The best version of the worst present I've come across wasn't given to me, but to my daughter. She was about 9 at the time. Her she unwrapped a present from her aunt (OH's sister) to discover a pair of tights labelled 'Aged 4 to 5'. The message on the card read "I know these won't fit you, but I thought I'd send them anyway"! I was not best pleased

I loved everything I got as a kid and soon after we all began telling eachother what we wanted (well I did anyway!) so not really any problem! I always tell my boyfriend what I want - lifes too short to buy stuff for people which they wont like!

Although actually I think the worst present was a pack of M&S thongs which a family friend bought me when I was 14! That was just weird and rather embarassing to open in front of everyone...!
 
I really wanted a comfort bridle for Mae, been hinting for months, i mean literally everyday. Had a friend over the other night and i said how i wanted one, OH looked like he was going to cry. Said that he thought that if i loved it soo much i would have gone and got it myself.

Give him his dues, he gave me the money to go get one. Cant ride now until after bubba is born but hes been riding her for me. Shes being such a cow for him lol. She bucked with him the other day and its something shes never ever done. She just got excited when he asked her to canter.
 
I believe I have the worst christmas presents. I have recieved tights complete with holes in

and USED soap on a rope from the 70's only 20 years out of date

Thats so horrible its actually inspired.

My worst was a white plastic paper towel roll holder from my mum; something so boring I cannot imagine her state of mind when she bought it. (Pissed?)

But I have been guilty myself. When I was at school I bought a friend a pair of stripy toed socks (they were really fashionable then) forgetting that she was born with webbed fingers and toes. (I didn't think of using them first, though).
 
I know of someone who received a used soap on a rope from her future mother-in-law. She still married the guy. Needless to say, the relationship didn't improve!
 
I was bought a Frank Sinetra CD by a boyfriend, I can't stand FS but guess what, that was of no relevance, as the other half of the present was a blank tape, so BF could listen to it!

It may be a coincidence, but his surname is Greed!
 
A bread bin!!
WTF was that all about I still have no idea, it was a gift from my sister and it was a plastic expandable one, never used it and eventually accidentally lost it.
A bread bin for Christmas, I ask you!!!!!
 
ok so this year mum decides finally to get something horsey, so she gets me a hoof pick and mane comb from tesco - she left the label on them! and she knows that ill only lose them, i have bought myself 2 different grooming sets over the years and im always finding my old brushes in other peoples grooming kits! never mind, i dont even have a horse (yet) lol

oh and my friends boyfriend bought me a gumball machine cause he thought it would make me laugh and it did, but i did get him 2 long chewy sweet things and put 'Happy Poke' in his card (happy poke is just something that id rahter not go into

)
