Terrible Christmas gifts

I don't think it's dorky at all, that's a very cool idea!

 

My mother got me a pink zip-up bra. it like....zips. it's the ugliest thing i've ever seen in my life. it's made of weird-textured material that feels like a tent or a parachute or something. And it's like, cotton candy pink. and it fucking...zips. and the zipper has this weird dangley thing. it looks like it just popped right out of the dollar store. normally, i'm very gracious and very happy to get presents but i had a small laughing fit at that one...

 

I got a really ugly hat one year, but other than that I have never gotten a bad gift since I was a child. I understand what you are saying though. Gifting just for the sake of gifting is a waste. If i don't have the time or money to shop for somone and vice versa I would rather send a nice note and wait to purchase when I see something I know they will just love.

 

i so freaking easily pleased that i consider myself very fortunate. though the perfume thing is always funny, i got some avon perfume from my sister in law this year. i'll never wear it, i'm letting my daughter use it to feel pretty, she's very prissy. but she bundled up a bunch of girly type stuff because i don't indulge my girly self often. so it really was considerate of her. besides, it all came in a beautiful wine carrier.

 

I use to work at a gift store that sold personalized ornaments, and I was surprised at all the families that actually do this. A family of 4 would end up spending $100+ on 4 ornaments! It was CrAzY but some were really cool.

My worst present was probably a check from my dad. Sure it's money, but I wish he would at least once put some effort into getting us something. Oh and I also got a Gwen Stefani c.d. I'm not exactly sure what I'm suppose to do with it. My mom said she looked weird so she got it for me---thanks mom!

 

None of us spend that much...a few dollars maybe. My cousin (who's the biggest pothead ever, I swear) got the ornament I bought this year...it was a pickle. He thought it was hilarious.

 

Socks. I mean I like socks, as long as they come with something else like a shirt or some pants. But just socks are just lame. Two years ago I got the ugliest socks in the world from my aunt.

 

Socks do suck man. I hate em. I go barefoot.

 

why get upset over things people gave you for xmas????? they took the time to try to get you something........ should be thankful you get anything at all.

 

yes mother!!!!

seriously i'd never buy perfume, unless someone asked for an actual name, its much too personnal
S

 

well Im just sayin......

the holidays arent about getting gifts, its about being with friends and family, alot of them you dont see very often.......

this is the only time my whole family can get together all at once, and its a nice feeling....... the presents thing I dont really care about.... except to see how my neices react to opening presents......

it was kinda cute this year , though, my brother's girlfriend's daughter was opening gifts and she was excited with everything she got..... just watching kids opening presents is priceless. I got her a cheap colouring book, and she was so excited about that gift..... it was awesome.

 

I agree

 

but i would push you into the water.i could use sum cold water too. plus i like bein pushed. but im a punk so who cares)i wanna go to the beach.i hate sunshine. less my bones get cold. plenty warm.thats a great idea thanks brother/sister. sorry u hippies allo look the same from the back. crusties too. no sundresses. light shines between there gaps. even if yer drunk u might respond. not a good idea tho. take a nap first.only time i like sunshine is nappin.red hair n sunshine n water is also good. ya i know my ass smells like dumpster score.egg salad gone bad 3 days after purchase. prolly my proximity.these are random thoughts. mostly the only kind i have.i remember these thingys like the shit on the left. my mom was miss mumbles or mrs ms what does all that shit mean? suffer the needle running to stand.cider is bad.not recently but id say no.

 

i didnt get any really terrible gifts,and if i would i probably wouldnt show them that
i dont like it..its just gift whathewer..

 

i agree with you, mad. you can always tell what sort of life a person has, in terms of having all their needs and wants met throughout their life by how they react to their gifts. if they're bitching about what they got, then odds are good that they lived a pretty gilded life.

 

Hey there is a whole history behind pickle ornaments:

 

Yep, gotta agree with kc and mad here. I mean, I've gotten a couple gifts where I was a little "wtf" over but never thought they were terrible, just odd and a little funny.

and to whoever was dissing socks, I -love- getting socks for xmas. My grandma always buys me a few pair which is nice... I usually find myself needing new ones by late Nov and I put it off til xmas because I get some nice toasty warm ones from my wonderful grandma. She likes to spoil me though so I get more than just socks... but man, I love getting those socks from her, keeps my toes nice and warm in our cold SK winters.

 

Stacks of milk chocolates...Im vegan

 

Yup, I knew that story already...

But he thought it was hilarious...

Anyway, I do live a pretty good life now. I mean, I don't think I'm selfish...if I was, do you think I would suggest giving the money to charity as a gift to me?

I don't think so...*Shrugs*

 

I dont care what i get. i feel like shit when i have no money to get anyone anything.
