The season for giving is headed our way.....and just for kicks I thought I'd ask- What is the absolute worst gift you've ever received?

Any gift is a good gift. It shows someone was thinking of you. No "worst gifts," only gratitude for the giver.

LOL! I got this incredibly tacky ceramic "nut" with a chipmunk sitting on top, filled with stale nuts. But it really is a tie...I also once got a badly (and I mean badly) painted horse head on velvet (the horse had yellow and red eyes--it looked like it was possessed!)


Fun question!

Right after I found out I had diabetes I recieved a huge assortment of goodies from Swiss Colony as a gift from one of my friends. I couldn't have any of it because my blood sugar was being monitored really closely since it was dangerously high. So, I got to watch my son and husband devour it. :o(

Since I used to collect unicorns,I'd get ALL sorts of unicorn gifts.The worst was a sweater(I refuse to wear sweaters)in a multitude of colors with a huge unicorn with a yarn mane and tail right smack in the middle when I was about 13 or 14.Gah!!!

I did wear it once,and was very thankful to the person I recieved it from(can't remember who did buy it for me),but for a person who wore ALL black in high school,that sweater was not part of my attire,lol.

First of all, my vote goes to Deb. Who gave you these things? LOL The worst gift I can think of right now is a tie between a candle that was obviously already burnt and an old boyfriend giving me money in a card for Christmas. The last one hurt since I remember taking forever to find the perfect gift for him.

The chipmunk/nut thing came from my first husband's aunt. The Possessed painting came from my husband (then boyfriend). I have since asked him to give me gift certificates/cash for gifts. He has no fashion sense. Poor man, and gets me stuff to wear that is in "interesting" colors, patterns or just don't fit. He is NOT a shopper! But I love him just the same.


LOL!
