When I was working for this company, we did Secret Santa and had a holiday party where we all were supposed to exchange gifts. When it was my turn to get mine, I got this big box that was wrapped BEAUTIFULLY with all the trimmings so I could'nt wait to see what was inside of course! When I got into the box there was soooo much shredded paper I didn't see anything else! Finally, I found a glittery and spray painted pine cone! I kept on digging and I finally found a piece of glass that resembled the shape of some kind of small vase and it had a small hole at the top, too small for a single flower so it wasn't a vase, there was a small piece of rope taped to the opening of this thing, but it was still a mystery to me as to to what the hell it was. I was visibly puzzled as I asked all the people at the table what they thought it could be..
The CEO of the company starts walking over to me! The CEO! Come to find out he was my Secret Santa, but he never signed the card, he tells me he made that shytty thing and that it was a oil burner! an OIL BURNER!! All of you know what an oil burner is! That was a jack leg attempt at something creative! He probably found it lying around in his garage!
But what made it even worse, he's a f'in millionaire!! A millionaire!
So my worst gift EVER in history..A Spray painted pine cone and a thing-a-ma-jig with a piece of rope sticking out the top! Riiiiiight!

OK, this happened years and years ago and I still get mad when I think about it. I was young and newly married. Thought I was quite "hot". My husband was just "a good old country boy". I decided I wanted some sexy night wear. Told him I wanted a cute nighty and some sexy house shoes. I had in mind something very sheer and maybe black and was thinking high heeled sexy mules with maybe feathers on them. A la Frederick's of Hollywood. Perhaps should have shown him a picture. Bless his heart, he bought me the ugliest "granny gown" I have ever seen and the house shoes were equally "granny style" and the ugliest yellow I could have ever imagined. I am sixty five now and really feel comfortable in that kind of night gear, but when you are 20 and feeling pretty frisky, it is a big let down to open something like that and try to act pleased. LOL.

My husband has an uncle who is kind of a bum. Yet, this guy always sends us gifts. A card would be just fine but he feels the needs to send gifts. One year we were surprised when we opened a box for our toddler to find a dirty, tattered doll. It had a battery compartment that was broken and stuck on with duct tape. There was a note attached that said, "needs batteries" We found some and the thing didn't work. It was supposed to talk and it did but it sounded possessed. My son hated it and the cat hissed at it. I think the cat hissed at it because it smelled awful. It was very dirty and smelled of cigarette smoke.
Now, I realize it is the thought that counts but I have to wonder what this guy was thinking. Who would send something like that as a gift?

My Mom always seems to give a bunch of cheap junk that I either throw away, give away, or sell at a garage sale. There's only so much room for knickknacks in a person's house.

last year a long time friend of mine gave me that horrible movie tht was supposedly a major hit last christmas season, (God knows why the commercials looked really stupid to me) to make matters worse it was in spanish! Then if that wasn't bad enough i couldn't even get rid of the awful thing.

My grandma always liked go give her children and grandchildren all her stuff she didnt need or that didnt fit her anymore. like one year my mom got a box full of old nasty bras that wouldnt have fit her anyways. I got size 4 ruby slippers from her when i was 14 (with size 9 feet). She also loved to send us really gaudy sweaters with sequence, glitter, and blinding colors and would ask us why we didnt wear them.

Back when I was a kid and didn't really appreciate the thought behind the gift, it was clothes...ANY clothes.
Now that I'm older and wiser, it doesn't really matter what the gift is as long as one accepts it graciously.
