You know like a jumper Noel Edmunds would be proud of, or something your Nan's Knitted just for you .

When my mam was alive , one xmas she bought me a thick roll neck sweater, chocolate brown with yellow moons and stars on it .

There and to the left a bit

Don't think I've been given anything I'd describe as "awful" but have had things that go totally against my usual dress style - some of them have been consigned to the back of the wardrobe, some of them I have actually come to like after wearing them.

It wasn't hideous just 10 sizes too big.

I asked 'exactly how fat do you think I am?'

Mr once bought me what he thought would be a nice dress....no idea why he thought I'd like something sparkly, never once in my years of knowing him have I ever worn something sparkly/glittery. It was the wrong shape, looked like a deflated disco ball and a size too small. It lives at the back of the wardrobe.

My Gran used to knit me a Christmas jumper every year - the best/worst was a bright yellow one with a horses head on it.

Also, my Dad had some kind of existential crisis one Christmas and put hair scrunchies (I had super short hair that couldn't be tied up) and My Little Mermaid knickers in my stocking. I was 15.

Sorry I couldn't help but laugh at the last part...dad's are strange human beings once they have teenage daughters, it's like they forget they are teenagers or something and panic

Brilliant. Reminds me of my gran. She always bought me underwear that was for 12 year olds even though I was in my twenty's lol

Bless her.

When I was a kid one of my aunts brought me a football kit for Christmas. The only problem is was the kit of my team’s despised local rivals.

Picture the scene on Christmas Day with the family gathered around eagerly opening presents, when I opened the gift from my aunt I was horrified and tossed it to one side. Even aged 10 I found it very difficult to hide my feelings and my contempt was written all of my face.

All of the Male members of my family nodded sagely, muttering collectively under their breath “he won’t wear THAT” whilst the women were saying “it’s just a football kit, what’s wrong with it? It’s a lovely shade of blue”.

Needless to say she didn’t buy me a gift the following Christmas!

My wife buys me dreadful clothes esp jumpers and shapeless jeans, its no wonder I started wearing dresses!

The one that really stands out as naff was a Rolling Stones T-shirt. Why? I've never even liked them!

My mum and dad used to buy me some hideous stuff. One that sticks in my mind was a patchwork, smock dress when I was about 17. I wore to a friends house then changed before we went out .

There was also a purple tank top with a red heart on it.

An ex got me a cream coloured plastic looking coat with a belt for Christmas. It didn’t fit, thank goodness and he had to return it. We hadn’t been dating very long and he obviously had no clue about my taste in clothes. I was so relieved it didn’t fit lol.

Never forgot the time on my 21st birthday party, where my godfather’s wife gave me their hand me downs from their 3 daughters. They were a religious family (my godfather a Methodist minister!); the clothes having high necks with Peter Pan collars!

Someone who really liked my feet bought me a pair of coral orange sandals. They were hideous, and actually when he gave me them he laughed to as he realised.

They are still a standing joke between us.

They found a new home via the charity shop.

That reminds me I have female family member who often buys me ridiculous knickers that I would never wear. Plain white cotton or border anglais full knickers.

I once gave somebody a present that I thought was really nice, it was a hot water bottle in a cover, as they were always cold in the evening and I thought it would be comforting to them as they were on their own.

They unwrapped it gave it me back, and said they didn't like it.

I have to admit I was stunned.

I don’t wear wool of any description because I can’t stand it next to my skin. Every year my ex mother in law buys me a woolly jumper knowing I don’t wear them. She thinks she’ll convert me but they just go to charity.

I don’t either. Can’t even wear scarfs. The thought of a woolly jumper makes me itch

My ex had to go to Milan to see Olivetti on business and I asked him to get me a Missoni jumper - it was the most horrible jumper they ever made I think, in the end I sold it on ebay, never wore it!

Same here, even seeing other people wear them makes me squirm. I just don’t understand why you’d wear something that wasn’t comfortable. I’d rather wear a crown of thorns on my head.
