SOme lady bought me a burlap snowman that had on the bottom "clearance, 99 cents", and had the nerve to tell me that it was expensive and she bought it especially for me because it was non-offensive (i don't celebrate christmas)

ok. it was back in high school. I was a sophmore, she was a senior. this was back in the late 70's. aanyway we had study hall together and were really getting along and i was just getting the nerve to ask her out. (oh just a side note I am a guy despite the avatar) so anyway its christmas time. I didnt have a lot of money but i thought i could win her affections with a small present . you know ... something nice and tastful. so i spent 8 bucks on a pair of earrings. at that time 8$ was a lot of money to a kid with no job in the late 70's. so i wrapped the gift up and took it to school. My moment of truth was at hand. I give it to her and say as charmingly as i could "Here I got ya a little something" it was my
hope that she had a gift for me..Because if she did it meant she felt something for me. Well, fate in its sense of humor decided
I needed a lesson in humility. She did in fact have a gift for me. I accepted it with honor and pride. It turned out to be a book of Lifesaaver candy. I almost grabbed the earrings back.

My husband plays golf, I don't. But he has never given up hope that I would play with him. I have a set of clubs, the shoes (ive never worn) etc. One Christmas he was really excited about my Christmas present and he had never been before. I had a feeling it was a golf club so I told him "Don't give me a golf club because I will never use it and it will be a waste of money". He said, "What if its a good golf club?". No! Well sure enough it was the golf club. And to this day I probably went out and hit it just to appease him but I still don't play golf.

I recieved a retailers box, 48 to be exact, of snickers bars as a main christmas gift from my girlfriend of 1.5 years. what made it worse is I found a place that could custom knit a blanket with her name on it and a big horn sheep, and I gave that to her. She loves animals... I guess I love snickers....

My parents gave me a heater.. A really crappy one!
My oldest sister went with her husband to his family Christmas one year. When she opened the gift from his grandma she saw it was one of those globes that you shake and it snows or whatever. She realized that was actually a decoration from the grandmas house.

my sis-in-law got me the book "he's just not that into you" a couple of years ago, put me in the middle of everyone when i opened it and then laughed at me...in a mean way. i thought i was going to just die...seriously. needless to say, just because she didnt like my bf doesnt mean that she's right...we just celebrated our 4 yr anniversary yesterday...and actually i think she likes him these days. either way..that was the worst christmas gift i've ever received.

This was a joke gift my husband got when he was a paramedic...it was a pair of earmuffs that were female breasts! There were totally disgusting but hilarious. He insisted on keeping them for years until they "mysteriously disappeared"...LOL.

my aunt, she gave my siblings cute little gifts and when I opened mine, it was underwear. I was 6yrs old and I'll never forget it, it was esp offensive because it said on the package that it was absorbant, as if I needed that at 6!

My mom got me a baseball bat I think, and I already gave up my interest in baseball like three years earlier.
