I lived in Spain for a few years and we lived in the "Country" and had no electricity, we had to use a generator in the evenings. My mother in law was given two slow cookers and gave us one as a christmas present. Couldn't use it as we had no
electricity. Its not as if she didnt know, as she only lived down the road.... Either cheap skate or she telling us something!!!!

A pink anorak from my sister -in-law, 2 sizes too big and it had a card in the pocket telling her to have a merry Christmas, someone had obviously bought it for her the year before and she hated it so wrapped it up and gave it me, cheap skate big time.

A brown, patent leather bag, that had lots of pockets, and resembled a giant handbag, from my parents, when I was 13. At the time,boys that carried these were persecuted horribly at school, and we used to call the bags "poof bags". And for my 12th birthday, my dad gave me a girls digital watch. I think he secretly wanted a daughter.
Also a pack of novelty condoms from my mother when I was 19. For Christmas.

I think your mother-in-law sounded passive aggressive in giving you the slow cooker, and you're right she was giving you a message. The message was "I'm angry with you both but won't be authentic and communicate why..." I get "cat" gifts all the time because I have two cats. I just got a "cat" apron from my sister-in-law for my birthday. I don't wear aprons and don't need another cat gift.

They weren't so much "bad" gifts, but from the time I was 12 until I was about 16, my godfather would give me size 6 slippers for X-mas every year. I finally asked my Dad to let his brother know I don't wear size 6 anymore! :-)

I got a toilet paper holder, actually shaped like a toilet, one Christmas. It was honestly the most useless device I have EVER laid eyes on. What's awful is that I had to pretend to like it so I wouldn't upset the person who had given it to me. Ugh.

For my birthday one year my husband gave me a vacuum cleaner ! Can you believe it ? I can see if I had said " Honey I really want a vacuum cleaner for my birthday " , but I didn't ! Boy was I pissed ! Needless to say he never gave me another appliance for a present !
