Following on from the thread about the persons brother that got her a hack at local riding school ..... what is the worst present you have ever received and what would you rather of had?
I got a Joules gilet. Said present giver texted OH to ask what size I was - he replied size 10. So she bought it in a size 14 because she "liked the colour". It looked ridiculous! It was accompanied by some Thelwell socks for age 3-7 as opposed to size 3-7. The were tiny.
I shouldn't have been surprised - the year before our joint Christmas present was a bottle of olive oil. The year before that OH received a book of bible stories and a bottle of salad dressing (he's an athiest).
I am always grateful for anything which I get as it is the thought that counts isn't it?
Besides, I think I am easily pleased as I don't think I've ever had something I consider rubbish

Last year my nan bought me a fleece rug for the horse. It wasn't a bad present, in fact I was really chuffed & impressed that she even thought about it as I'm the only horsey person in the family...sadly she didn't realise they came in different sizes and bought 4'3...my horse has 6'3 rugs
I gave it to one of the kids at the yard who was very pleased with it

We kept it in a cupboard and when the doorbell rang, rushed to get it out in case the it was the present-giver at the door.

Bless you, that's so sweet. Did it have an 'accident' at any point or do you still have it?
Take them to a charity shop, they will be loved by someone, or the Sally Army.Cuddly toys are my nightmare gift!
I suppose it's based on the assumption that I'm an *animal* person, therefor I MUST love cuddly animals, so I get at least one every year. Then once you get them, you can't get rid of them - I have a cupboard full of them, becuase there's something so wrong about putting a stuffed animal in the bin!!
My mother always gets me rubbish presents.
I am in no way a girly girl but every year she insists on buying me all manner of lotions, potions and make up.
I think the worst was a manicure set. I haven't got any nails to manicure!
