It happens to the best of us,
My MIL is famous for this, LOL
The gifts over the years, Oh MY ::gasp::
We get some gift from a loved one or a friend ..
And we think *WHAT do I Do with THat*

I asked this on one of my other boards, fun thread, LOL

Think back ..
Any gifts stand out over time that you would call  ..


What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received? Who gave it to you?
When? What did you do with it?  Still have it?


Let us know :)


Just for fun here are a few that others have received ..

Okay, this wasn't for Christmas, and it wasn't to me, but my sister-in-law gave my DD-age 6 a small, blue foil Disney Christmas tree for her birthday this past SEPTEMBER. It was from K-Mart and it had the original price on it ($9.99), but you just know she got it on clearance for practically nothing. (Or maybe it was a regift.) She and my brother live in a house worth almost a million dollars. Can't even imagine what possessed her to send that as a gift.

Hi Mary,
Um yes it sounds tacky, LOL
Wonder why if they have so much money why they would do something like that?
Did your DD like it?
