What worst presents did you ever get? :) I mean birthday ones or Christmas ones or any other :) In my case, these were:

1. A children's book with poems about mushrooms, which I already had.
2. A shoddy umbrella.
3. A set of jigsaw puzzles presenting a castle - I hate puzzles, especially that these were very complicated (I tried to complete them maybe twice or thrice).
4. A book that was already read many times before I got it and had the previous owner's name in.
5. A set of very shoddy christmas tree decorations - not even the whole set of glass balls but just single decorations belonging to many sets (glass Santa Claus - twice - and a glass hazel nut, things like that).
6. A book belonging to the genre I didn't like (teen romance).
7. A shoddy clay bell, resembling an angel (twice but the first one was nice, while the other one... well, I was quite glad when once it fell on the floor and its head fell off :twisted: - I didn't even try to glue it to the torso :twisted: ).
8. Badminton racquets plus three shuttlecocks - I HATE sport.

And you?

A disinfectant spray and a roll of toilet paper with the message "happy fapping!" on it followed by a gigantic hurricane of laughter by all the family members.

I remember as a child the worst presents to get were clothes. I remember other family members used to get me things like socks and horrid looking jumpers. Not a fan of getting deodorant sets every birthday and Christmas as well, what are they trying to say? :P

I don't remember the worst gift I ever got but I hate it when people give me clothes. The clothes are either too small, ugly, or something that will drive my skin crazy. Most of the time, I have to go back to the store to get a refund. Besides, I have a lot of clothes anyways.

Cologne. I hate anything scented and so perfumes are kind of worthless to me.

A red, white and blue sweater... two years in a row. I don't like the color red very well and I have no interest in wearing something that ugly to me. (I think I used one as bedding for a cat. :P) This past Christmas I got a dirty snowglobe which was missing some of the water. I'd label that the worst present ever. I don't know what to do with it.

One Christmas my grandma gave us grand-kids each a pack of toilet-paper :o The month before my aunt had commented about how her kids(my cousins) came visit for a bit & they used a bunch of TP. My grandma was a piece of work; she had said more than a few times how she didn't want to be a professional grandmother so it's no surprise she gave crappy gifts. She's lucky her house didn't get TPed

A New Kids On the Block edition of a teen magazine when I turned 16. I was really into classic rock and I didn't even like New Kids On the Block to begin with. I ended up giving it to my sister.

A friend of mine once got a Honey Baked Ham for Christmas.

He's Jewish.

Really.

oh, I think I got you guys beat. 40yr old guy here, and what does my Mother get me a couple of years ago? f*****g Teatowels! seriously, f*****g teatowels!

I was speechless.

Wife couldn't believe it. I didn't quite know what to say. I think the look on my face said it all.

Seems my Mum just doesn't know me at all.
