The worst gift you've got or a something that would have been the worst? Or do you think its the thought that counts so there is no such thing as a worst gift?

it's the thought that counts. so, even if i didn't enjoy the gift as much as the person giving it to me might have hoped, i still appreciate the fact that they even thought about me and attempted to buy me something i love.

In my opinion, there is such a thing as a worst gift.
I've gotten some reallly bad ones, but the most memorable would be:
Two years in a row at Christmas my boyfriend got me white sweaters in a small that couldn't be returned, I'm a medium. When I pointed this out to him, he said it would give me inspiration to work out more (I was already very fit and it's bone structure that makes me a medium). What it inspired me to do was punch him, but I didn't.
One year I got my mom UGG slippers for X-mas. She said they were a size too large and returned them for store credit. The next christmas she gave me the store credit slip as my gift.

The worst gift I ever received was nothing. For the last 3 years my boyfriend has never bought me a X-mas gift, of any gift for any occasion.

Anything that you "need" rather than want. For example, I've gotten a "job interview outfit", and just in case I didn't know what it was for, they told me like three times. "Oooh, this is a job interview outfit!". And of course, I've also gotten socks and underwear, which is especially bad when you're a kid.
Oh, I almost forgot. I also have an uncle who used to send me "classic" books every Christmas: like the ones they force you to read in English class.

It truly is the thought that counts and we should always say thank you for a "gift." My mother-in-law one year - got me these HUGE old lady underwear (I was in my 20s and about 120 lbs at the time) - it was all I could do to hold back cracking up laughing -- I wasn't sure if it was a joke or not but FOR joke and a giggle every no and then, I kept them in their package in my panty drawer - ha ha ha......and I did say "oh thank you, I needed underwear."

Anything that's ordinary that I would buy without any occasion.
Like socks, drawing pad, a mug, blank cd's.
Worst ever was a car-jack. I prefer gifts like sunglasses, necklaces, watches, gadgets, bb guns etc.

My ex husband gave me one of those plug-in SpongeBob games a couple of years ago, I didn't think that anyone over the age of 12 played them. At least my son loved it, he was 4 at the time...whew!
I was sooo offended, I'd bought him a bunch of stuff that he'd wanted and I got that crap at 25 years old-I guess that's part of why he's the EX husband, huh?

I'd say giving someone nothing is the worse gift, but one Christmas i did get a DVD in Chinese and seen as i don't speak Chinese it was a pretty weird gift to give someone. It was still funny to watch though.

I got my girlfriend of 7 years (at the time) a nice watch, she'd been hinting around on. She got me socks. We've been broken up now for 8 years. I guess some other lucky chump is getting socks this year.
