When I was a kid, I specifically asked my parents to get me a "Barbie" doll. I didn't want those cheap dolls you found that probably only cost 98 cents. I wanted "Barbie" with the long hair and "model" figure! What did my mom do?
She gave me a darn "Twiggy" doll. I was so disappointed! Twiggy was a flat chested, short haired model from the '60's and popular at the time. So my mom thought she was getting me something great by giving me something hip and trendy! Twiggy was flat foot - you couldn't put flat feet in heels! As I said, she was also flat chested where Barbie had this great womanly shape - those clothes did nothing for Twiggy's "boyish" shape. I was so upset but pretended to be happy. I can't tell you how horrible it was NOT to comb short hair. Ugh! Twiggy's new look helped women in that time who wanted to be less feminine but for me, a kid, it was a nightmare. Twiggy was the model for anorexia in this millennium...who'd have known....

Pierced earrings - every year from my Aunt and Uncle who are a little challenged. I dont have pierced ears, which I finally got through to them on then I got little plastic baby dolls... in high school. I never liked dolls much enven when I was little and I was into elecronics, and books by high school of course.
I know now it't the thought that counts, and each year (when they weren't there of course) we speculated on if the gift would be pierced earrings again which became a bit of a family sport and now memory.

One year funds were tight so all of our presents came from the Salvation Army. I got a purse that had someone's else's name written all over it with permanent marker. Worse yet it was someone I went to school with.

A stupid ugly doll that my Step Mom bought when I wanted a bride doll that my 3 neices got who were only 2,3,and 5 at the time. I was 8 and it was the last year I was to get a doll and was asked which one I wanted,by HER by the way,and got that ugly one instead,the uproar I caused over it made all the Holiday gatherings stop,or so I was blamed for it anyway.

I was 7, and my grandma got me this horrid dress with a big Christmas plaid bow, and my mom made me wear it to school. I was so mortified, I hated that dress.
