My mother has a habit of buying me 'things for one', like cooking for one, or a tiny plastic food processor which you spin by hand!
Yes folks, I am destined to live on my own for life!!
A now ex-friend also brought me granny slippers, knowing they were not me at all.
Now, what catergory does this go in? Oh, sod it!

I have never been insulted by a gift. Even if I hated it I appreciated that they thought of me, whether they got it right or not. If it's something I won't use and cannot return (IE my stepmom loves to buy me stuff at garage sales) then I donate it to charity or find a friend who would enjoy it. Most of the time I find a way to enjoy it. Granny slippers I would use to crack myself up every time I looked in the mirror. I'd just be a total dork in them. LOL!

My aunt didn't even by me and my brother a present one Christmas, we got the little bag of goodies you get on a airline. So we had the mask to put over your eyes, a small toothbrush, a tooth pick, a hand wipe and other tosh that most people would chuck (really useful for a 9 year old).
As you can tell I am over it and not bitter.

My boyfriends have all had a bad habit of buying me awful presents. The gorilla slippers, the covered bridge sweatshirt, the sweaters with sequins, the coffeee mugs....this has contributed to them no longer being my boyfriends.I mean, I am a hinter-it isn't brain surgery to find out what I want!

Hi guys,
The most insulting present i got, was off my father, and he got me a beach towel for christmas. Now come on, 14 years old and a beach towel? so not what i wanted. I got nothing off my Grandmother that year as well, even though i got her a personalised gift pack, which I worked really hard to find. That was pretty insulting

Get ready to laugh. When I was 18 for Christmas my Grandmother gave me a 99 cents color book and 4 crayons.

The most useless thing that was bought for me (from my boyfriend at the time) was a battery controlled hand that ran across the floor lol. You know like the hand (think it was called "thing") out of the film adams family. : )

I had an aunty who always thought she was posh and used to give us crap presents.
I once got a half finished airfix model still in the box.
She sent my mum a bag of plastic clothes pegs.

A cheap perfume set on a plastic flower. I felt I was a child or something.
