A toilet seat from my own parents. Granted we needed one because the one in our bathroom was cracked, but still you don't give out those for Christmas. My parents thought it was funny. I spent the whole day crying.

It was a HUGE lamp with a base of blue water with the body of wharf with a sculpture of a fisherman sitting on the wharf with a fishing pole. The lampshade was thick and heavy and didn't allow any light.
Oh wait, did I mention that the whole thing was either made of shells or encrusted with shells? Butterfly shells, oyster shells, barnacles, mollusk shells, conch shells, sanddollars, clam shells, and some others I didn't recognize. They were big and small; dyed and bleached. It was a 3-D shell mosaic. Even the shade had glued-on rows of different types of shells. I'm surprised that there are shells left in the ocean.
It was so bad that it isn't even funny bad. I would love to have a picture of my face when I first opened it.

One year when I was about 14, my mom was in the hospital and just came home the day before Christmas, so my dad had to do the Christmas shopping. He got my mom and me matching frog green jumpsuits that zipped all of the way up one leg and into the chest. They were horrid. My mom told me to shut up and put it on for Christmas and we would never have to wear them again. We crack up now when we look at family pictures and my mom and I are wearing matching frog outfits.

an old lady sweatshirt from A.C. Moore in neon green, with a big white doilie looking thing hot glued to the front of it. Sad thing about it, it was from my mother in law after my hubby told her I didn't want a knitted sweater. Oh, how I made out in the end that year!!

Every year, my intelligence-deprived trailer-park-reared sister-in-law gets me a bottle of Old Spice cologne.
Old Spice.
Freakin' Old Spice!
Every year, we have the same exchange when I open it:
She: "I remember you liking that scent, right?"
Me: "Um, I mentioned trying it once when I was a teenager in the 1970s, but I don't really wear cologne anymore."
She: "Oh. Well, here's the receipt."
By the way, I am not kidding. Somewhere in her pea-brain, she permanently pictures me dousing myself hourly with that vile swill.

I try to appreciate everything I get, some people may be less fortunate than I.
Sorry if you don't like the answer, we're reading a book about a homeless man in language arts and it has really made me appreciate everything I have. :)

Menthol tissues that made my nose bleed and cashews that I'm allergic to. My bf father and stepmom give me the same thing every year. Can't wait.

None, I cherish all the gifts I am given because it's the thought that counts for me. If someone takes the time to make or buy me something I love it.
