Someone Gave You THAT? Worst Gift Ever?

[Johnny OrganDonor]

The worst gift at this point is ANY gift. I don't need stuff. I don't want stuff............

My favorite card.

20+ year old regifted egg poacher from my dads best friend for my wife and I at our wedding.

When I was 15, my grandmother (who was an elementry school teacher) got me "David the Gnome" coloring books and a box of dollar store crayons.  She thought it would "help build hand eye coordination"

Then I read the second paragraph and thought, "holy hell you can't buy that kind of entertainment! That man should get himself a bottle of Jagermeister and let the family disfunction come rolling on in!" I'd pump those crazy bastards so full of Goldschlager they'd be crapping cufflinks in the morning.

Yea well I don't fool around with those folks anymore. Especially since my mom died a couple of years ago. (That was her side of the family)
And My wife's family doesn't celebrate Christmas either.    So I don't have to be disapointed with some thin sweatshirt that doesn't fit or Cheap tube socks that are 50% Nylon and have no ankle bend in them.

Okay, now I remember the worst gift ever:

When I was 13 I got a pair of authentic, German lederhosen.

Dooooood. That only sucks cause you were too young for serious drinking. If I got a set now, I'd be stoked. I'd wear those things any time my BAC got higher than .05. I mean, seriously. It's like the uniform for getting belligerently drunk.

I got a $10 jack in the box gift card one year from my bro/law (we do a 'secret santa' type thing for the adults in that side of the family).

I don't really like jack in the box.  Honestly I think they stopped at Vons on the way to our house and just grabbed the first gift card they saw off the rack.

My dad is the worst at giving gifts.  He always gets me gift cards to places he knows I don't like.

My new sister-in-law will get you nothing.  She will wait and see how much you spent on her.  Then after Christmas say sorry I didn't get you anything and offer to buy you something. Coincidently it will be for about the same amount you spent on her.

Shit last year she got two iTunes $50 gift cards on accident from her parents. One was supposed to go to my wife.  Whenever we would ask for it she said she "lost" it.

My goofy as shit aunt used to give me finger nail clipper sets when I was a kid and #2 pencils with my name embossed on them. Weak shit.

I think we had the same aunt.

That's funny!!! Good call. I like the uniform comment the best.

Speedbag, we could be cousins!

I saw the $1 DVD bin at Walmart one year.  I found the worst DVD and bought it as a gag gift for a family friend as her Christmas present.  You should have seen her face as she opened the box - confused yet trying to appear grateful.  Meanwhile, I am rolling on the floor laughing.   Yes, I did give her a real present afterwards. 

The DVD I got her?

Awesome!! I love Christmas time gag gift exchanges. My wife has several different groups of girlfriends and two of those groups have all girl Christmas gag gift parties and the gauntlet is thrown down for the best awful/funky/nasty/weird gift they can come up with. It's pretty damn funny. But it's also serious business. Another group has a Christmas tree ornament exchange party and it's just as serious.

Not to go against the grain of this thread but I didn't know where to post this. Hope it's not a derby. Check out this awesome Christmas gift for someone!!

I had COMPLETELY forgotten about the personalized pencils.....

Don't tell me your aunt got you started collecting matchbook covers too. Yes, really.


Update from the WTF file: I actually just found THREE of those damned pencils!   Bright yellow with gold upper-case letters. Un-sharpened even (I must have been SO impressed), complete with petrified erasers.

We used to do the gag gift thing, but about ten years ago I spoiled it.


I gave a dead frog.




Now we give each other "ethnic" cards and presents. We're all white as Wonder bread.
