Worst present

What is the worst present you ever got at Christmas?

I received a brass standard lamp stand which completely clashed with my new decor once - it was in a very ornate, filigree Arabic style and had no shade on it. I never did find a shade which matched it - and believe me I tried as I did intend to use it in a corner of the flat I was in at the time just so I didn't offend the gift-giver. But believe me - there wasn't a shade designed on the planet which would have matched it!

Some cheapo 'Calvin Classics' boxers. They shrunk on me while I was wearing them thus meaning I had to be cut out and my balls looked like they had starred in 'Avatar'

I can't think of a bad present. I'm sure there have been a few but I always appreciate the thought.

I have to move out of my flat at the weekend and my lovely bf just told me he is going to pay for a van to move my stuff instead of buying me an xmas pressie.

As you can imagine that was met with a resounding silence!

a musical bottle opening that once activated played jingle bells on eternal repeat until I smashed it with a hammer. There was no way to turn it off and the battery compartment was melted shut lol

Titz Towers, North Notts

One of my friends and I have a competition each year. The rules:

We can only spend a maximum of £2, the present could be opened in the presence of your parents and it must be totally 100% useless.

However, my friend is confusing useless with rubbish and has just raided his bin for the previous couple of years. The other year I bought him a set of Jenga blocks that I had glued and nailed together.

Last time I wasn't single at Christmas, he got me a pair of mini straighteners for short hair.

Anyone who has seen me knows my hair is far from straight. They were flipping useless (like him really) so put them on Ebay.

My ex mother in law bought me slippers every year - despite knowing that I only ever wear full/boot type slippers that don't fall off, and that she was buying me slippers that were several sizes too small. ..

I never get bad presents...people close to me know I am fussy...I would rather have something practical I can use than something fancy and expensive that I don't use....but fancy and expensive that I do use is a bonus.

My worst was a saucepan set when I was 21. I really didn't want them at the time as I just wanted girly things. They turned out to be a great present as I still have them and cook with them regularly.
