No really, what is the worst XMas gift ever? (Page 2)

I had got a "recycled" gift, too.  Several families exchanged xmas gifts when we were kids.  My mom got my friend a polaroid camera one year.  The same polaroid camera came back to me the year after, from that family.  My brother got a scarf from them, that scarf was given to that family by my cousin's family the previous year. 

Wow. I think we have a winner... This wasn't a Christmas present, but for graduation I got this thing you put in your door, kind of like an extra lock, that's supposed to prevent people from breaking in your house. I guess my aunt was concerned about my safety. My brother broke the thing - in the door - in about 2 seconds.

A pen

My aunt and uncle on my mom's side were always the worst:

Age 14:  A huge purple & pink bookbag (the size of a gym bag) and a 4 function calculator

Age 15:  Sweat pants and sweatshirt 2 sizes too big

Age 16:  One of those molecular model sets for chemistry class

Age 17:  4 ceramic mugs

Thankfully they had a falling out with my mom and don't speak to us anymore, so no more gifts from them.

LOL!  

The big question:  Was it a new tube, or used?

 My family passes around a Big Mouth Bass that sings "don't worry, be happy" when you come close to it.  Last year they gave it to my new husband, who put it on the back of the toilet in our bathroom so he could hear it daily. When we were moving we sent it off to Houston-tri-mamma, so it could conceivably come back this year.....

It was originally sent as a non-gag from an Aunt. 

When I was married my then wifes step dads family (try to keep up here), would not get me anythng. We would go there every Christmas Eve and there would be all of these presents for everyone (my then wife would get like 5) and nada for me. It got to be a funny thing every year because we would go and I would sit there saying ohhh ahhh to all of these presents for everyone else. This went on for 7 years....

Then the one year (6th one I think), the did break down and buy me something. Well my ex's sister got there before us with her boyfriend and when they started opening presents, there was not one for the boyfriend so the step grandparents took the name tag off mine and gave it to him. We showed up late, 5 presents for my wife and again I had nothing and some guy that dated my sis-in-law for 2 months had my Greg Norman sweater on....lol

hey, that's what my husband's mom does too.  He's a M and she's buying him XL and XXL shirts.  Not just any shirts, but Tampa Bay Buccaneer shirts.  We have at least 30 of those.  Anyone want one? 

Ok, just a little off topic. My wifes aunt love x-mas just a little too much. To this day she denies the insedent. Eledgedly, she found her wraped x-mas gift in a closet. Took it out, carefuly unrapped it, returned the store it was purchased from, exchanged it for a garment she liked better, wore it, washed it and rewraped it in the orriginal paper. Of couse she still carries a copy of her birth certificate in her purse because  she was once convinced as a teen she was adopted

As for worst gift, it was a double edged sword. My wifes Grandmother, at my first family x-mas, puchased me a shirt and some plastic mugs. The shirt was 2XL (I wear a XL normaly, but a L would have done) shirt that looked like a cirus tent. The mugs were a generic plastic mug with handles and a crappy drawing of a football player. She ment well knowing I like football, but they were crappy. The irony is 10 years latter, I still have all but one of the mugs and use them every day because they are so comfortable to hold. Go figure
