I got Jeremy Clarkson book, which was just a compilation of his weekly Sunday Times column so I'd already read them.
When I was a kid I thought Fuzzy Felt was a totally shi.te present

What is Fuzzy Felt?
This year my worst gift was a cheap bath and body set (you know, with the body wash gel and lotion). I also got an expensive set and it was my favorite gift (the expensive sets are so much nicer than the cheap ones... the cheap ones just get thrown away they are no good!)
When I was a kid I hated getting socks or undies... stuff I would normally get for free! :)

My heavens at the horror stories! My worst was a matched pair of grey sweat pants and shirt, and I will use and enjoy those!!!
Everything was good for me this year. Sorry others were not.
As far as childhood Christmasses, I remember getting a lot of nice things (Kids in my generation had waay too much stuff given them, if parents could afford). There were also disappointments but I can't remember many details. Usually cheap little toys (cars, a really cheap plastic train set, etc) from family friends and distant relatives. If I didn't like something it was shunted aside and I guess my mum gave them to charity or as she said, "if you don't want it, I will give it to children who have nothing." I must have been a spoilt little brat!

A naff book and a giant chocolate truffle from my brother-in-law (when I'd asked for a pair of pyjamas...). However, he bought his brother (my husband) an extra large lambswool striped jumper. My husband is a size medium and hates stripes and lambswool. The jumper still has the price tag on it but hubby won't take it back as it was a "thoughtful present" - thoughtful my a$*e... Probably got bad presents as a kid but must have been SO traumatised I cannot remember them!

there have been some circumstances that the in-rules have purely ordinary forgotten approximately me (or handed over, yet no longer forgot.) The worst is my birthday. i've got been married for 18 years, and my mom and father have not as quickly as forgotten my spouse's birthday. i'm fortunate if those adult adult males will come as much as me 2 months later and say "hi. did no longer you have a birthday a together as back?"

I got a bright green sweatshirt about 7 years ago with white fluffy christmas kittens on it coming out of a gift box. The kittens were actually some sort of fur like material... I didn't care too much about fashion then, but this sweatshirt was terrible.

My brother ( a notorious bad gifter) gave me a big wooden spoon that I am suppossed to hang on my kitchen wall as decoration!? I am a single 30 year old guy, not a grandma, I have to hang this thing up because he comes over sometimes, but man, is it dumb! Last year he gave me saftey goggles... not sure what my eyes need saftey from, I live in a townhouse and all my yardwork is done for me...

This year everything I got was great - except for one present - a cheap white and silver candle from the dollar store. It smells weird, and the wick broke off.
When I was a kid, my family didn't celebrate holidays, so not getting any xmas presents pretty much sucked. (poor me) I am no longer a JW, so I celebrate every holiday I can afford to. :)

The worst present this year was numbers to stick on my letterbox. Unfortunately they weren't the right numbers! The worst present I can remember getting as a child was a flannel from my grandma.
