Someone Gave You THAT? Worst Gift Ever?

[Buckethead]

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

Some college friends and I do something similar. Our group of friends had Christian, Jewish, Wicca, Atheist, and probably some other religions, too. Rather than have a party celebrating one of those religions to the exclusion of the others, we decided to have a call our party Voodoo Day and offend everyone. There's a $10 limit on gifts for the Secret Mama Shabooboo gift exchange. Gifts are wrapped in porn (the nastier, the better) and placed around the Voodoo Cone, a traffic pylon with pennies Scotch taped to it. Whoever is hosting makes food, and everyone else brings copious amounts of booze. Good times ensue.

Year before last, I made a "Cathy Bates Starter Kit!" for my friend Heather. Used copy of "Misery" on DVD ($3), a 3 lb rubber maul ($5) and one pack each of assorted colored zip-ties ($1) and 50' of clothesline ($1).

I'm hoping to give the worst gift ever, this year. Yes. Hoping.

My brother and I have the tradition of trying to get each other something completely awful. I enjoy it, and it takes the pressure off of people trying to get the "perfect" thing for each other. This year:





We also usually give each other comic books...since we were kids we've done this.

My wife and I usually end up picking out our own presents together then wrapping them and waiting until christmas day to open and be suprised. Usually, it's because we use Christmas as an oppertunity to get things we need for the year (new coat, or socks...etc.)

No one in my family really does big Christmas gifts though...not since we were kids

I used to work with a guy who would get pissed if he spent more on his girlfriend than she did on him...He would work it out the dollar. Last year, he got her a necklace, and she got him new exhaust for his truck...and it was off by $30. He was a douche about it for 2 weeks. I felt sorry for her...It'd make me hate the holidays.

I have two other sisters so there have been a few boyfriends throughout the years.

Several years ago, my dad's wife put together three photo albums.  One representing each of us with EVERY possible picture she could get her hands on that included a past boyfriend. 

Did she kindly and tactfully give that photo album to each of us?  Of course not. 

She gave it to the guys we were with at that time.   

Nothing more awkward than having your b/f look at pictures of you snuggled up to someone else over the years.

Does your dad's wife read much Dumas? Because that is Monte Cristo level revenge.

edit: Wording fixed. Sorry about that, Stella.

we have a winner... that is by far, the worst gift ever
why on earth would she do that to you and your sisters....

[fastwin]

I agree. That's the current front runner! And I love the Dumas reference!!!

Correction:  Dad's wife.  NOT MY MOTHER! 
My mother would NEVER think to make her daughters look like whores.

[Stella]

why on earth would she do that to you and your sisters.... 

If you met her, you would understand.  All who know my dad still scratch their heads and wonder "what was he thinking?"

[Stella]

My brother said that his girlfriend at the time also received a photo album of him with all past g/f's.  Again:

i do understand my dad has one too 

[fastwin]

So did mine. Glad she died first!! As I said before, I still drive by her grave every June 9th just to make she's still in there... pregnant dog.

Hope your Dad's wife isn't THAT bad. Because that really can make things suck. Trust me. If I had ever gotten a present from her I would have soaked it in the tub for hours and had it x-ray scanned. If it had been food no way would I have eaten it.

Damn stella, that's so horrible its freaken hysterical.....
