I think the worst thing I got for X-mas was one year I didn't ask for anything particular so everyone bought me bath wash... I was like do I stink? Everyone told me it was because I didn't ask for anything... Needless to say I ask for stuff now, this year? Alot of nice things I'll be using

Cindiloohoo - You could always either not get anything for either of them, or get them something unpractical or something like a gag gift. Just so you're not necessarily being "mean" but still getting some satisfaction.

win-win

I don't know if this counts, but it was sure awful. Years ago my husband (who is now my ex-husband) stopped at WalMart and bought presents for me on the way to his parent's house for Christmas. He had his mother wrap them when he got there but she didn't put my name on them. When gift time came, the kids handed out the presents and asked 'who's are these without names' and my MIL said 'oh anybody's'. As the gift opening went along, I realized that my 'pile' of presents looked pretty small, and, there were NONE from my husband or kids. When my husband finally asked where my gifts were, they had been disbursed between kids, aunts, uncles and even my MIL! Talk about feeling like you really don't matter...

Like I said, he is now my EX husband...

I take it back, the worst gift we got was from DH's brother and SIL. They got us a small red sack with 3 lumps of coal in it, after we had spent 20 dollars on each of their 3 kids and bought them a couples gift. This year? We didn't buy any gifts for them, they didn't get us anything either.

Me & My Peeps :

LOL, thats some funny stuff!

I once had a buddy almost get me fired because of a joke he played on me at work. It wasn't long after, that I found some info on the internet about "gay & alternative lifestyle vacations" and I put his name & address down so they would send him a few brochures. It was made even better, when his PARENTS happened to show up the same day they were delivered and they seen them!! He spent over an hour trying to convince them that he was NOT gay and that it was a mistake. He called me up and had me on speakerphone, trying to get me to admit that I had them sent.

I laughed and denied it. I told him "well, that does explain a LOT about why there's never a woman in your life very long. This certainly changes things between us a little but, Hey - whatever works for you man!" He then drove over to my house WITH his parents in the car and DEMANDED to my wife, that she MAKE me admit to having them sent. My wife was already aware of what I had done but never really cared for this guy said " Hey, just be honest with your parents! They will still love you, we've had this conversation before"

He stood there with his mouth open looking at her, his parents, me........he didnt know what to say! LOL He stomped off telling me that he was going to get me back. I said "hey, ive got your parents thinking your gay! Do you REALLY want to take this to the next level?" I came clean about a week later and even called up his parents, who thought at first that I was just trying to cover for him. He promised to never play another joke on me again. So far, he's kept his word.

OMG! Another hysterical story! (wiping eyes and nose)​

At least they weren't fake and got you and hubby a shared gift only hubby would get use from

next year I am getting DD19 and her hubby a pair of size 38/30 MENS jeans for the BOTH of them and see how SHE likes being OBVIOUSLY LEFT OUT with a lame excuse of "I couldn't afford 2 pair, maybe you could share!"

ETA: I'll take your Scrooges and give you my half of the WAAAYYYY too big shirt and throw in the ENTIRE lame excuse for free.

I'm so sorry Cindi, I know your feelings are hurt and rightly so. But.....Your post made me laugh. I really do think you should get the jeans next year hehehe

Let's see.... I once got a can of spray starch...

And then there was the year I got a bottle of Pine Sol...

Remembering them is really making me laugh! OM gosh!

So what's wrong with an alarm clock?

wow...I think all my favorite gifts would be you guys "worst gifts" LOL

We did practical this year with my Fiance and his family......(not counting the cruise that we paid for for his might as well be stepmom). I got lots of socks (YES! I can NEVER find a matching pair), a bath pillow, gloves......my fiance got his stepmom a spachula (sp) because she asked for one.....my mom got me a crock pot and my fiance a coffee pot so we don't have to register for them.

And we always get soap, bath wash, deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste and the like in our stocking from Santa at my parents house

Oh, and I got 2 snuggies last year....I LOVE THEM! LOL But I'm cold natured and love to wrap up in them while I watch TV or read....and they REALLY helped today when we were on 1 piece of emergency heat from 3AM to about 1PM!!

A worst gift....I have to say I guess the coffee cups that I got from my grandma Christmas of '08.....They're still in the trunk of my car....Never taken out of the box

Oh and my Fiances stepmom was THRILLED that her daughter got her toilet paper.....She was saying that she was running low and was sad that she couldn't afford to renew her costco card where she goes to buy it in bulk.....

I really can't think of a worst Christmas present unless you count all the articles of clothing we kids got for Christmas instead of toys, things like socks and underwear seemed to be standard. As far as bad Christmas's in general, I would have to say all the Christmas's in the Service, US Navy Subs where there was no possible gift exchange/communication with family. Remember the ones serving in the Military, they would appreciate any kind of letter/thought for them.
