While opening our wedding gifts amongst our family, we got a lead crystal bud vase. Opening up the box, a small note was stuck inside the vase. I read aloud the congratulatory note to the happy couple on their future together. Too bad it was addressed to her and my brother! Neither were there for the unveiling, but we have video.
I don’t mind a re-gift, but please! Do be so lazy as to not at least check and make sure it isn’t chipped, broken, dirty, or has the original gifting note in it!

I was transformed as a joke from n executive into a homeless bum by my father-in-law.

I hated this gift given by my friend

My husband and I invited his friend who was a dentist to our wedding. When we went to open his gift it was wrapped lovely and we were excited to open this gift. Upon opening it we saw 200 toothbrushes! All of these 200 toothbrushes were stamped with his name because he was a dentist. It was an interesting gift and to say the least. Whenever we are asked what was the most interesting or memorable gift, we always answer “toothbrushes”.

A Pickup Truck to Replace my Porsche

I hated this gift given by my father-in-law

My blue-collar father-in-law gave me a pick-up truck, which he knew I didn’t want or need, and which cost him plenty. He wanted me to drive one, so he sent it to me!

Overalls and Work Boots to Replace My Pinstriped Suits and Italian Wingtips

I hated this gift given by my father-in-law

My father-in-law is a powerful presence in our lives. He is a bricklayer; I am an investment banker. He has wanted me to turn into a blue collar worker like himself since I met my wife. He never had a son and wants someone to take over his one-man business.

We have been married twelve years now, and not a visit goes by without a comment about how I should say goodbye to my white collar life and become the man I was made to be! All of his gifts are related to that.

Two years ago there was a surprise birthday party for me at my office; there my father-in-law presented me with a pair of overalls, work boots and white socks - and insisted as a “joke” that I swap my business attire for his gifts.

Well, this was followed up by the whole crowd demanding the same thing, and I finally gave in and changed.

My father-in-law kept up the “joke” by stealing
my “banker clothes” as he calls them, announcing that I wouldn’t need them anymore! So by the time I left, my Armani pinstriped suit, silk tie, white shirt, cufflinks, English wingtips and black dress socks were piled in a heap in his truck and I was dressed as the blue collar man he wants me to be.

A lousy gift.

Mouse Box

I hated this gift given by my family

My worst gift ever received would probably be a mouse.

However, this mouse was not a functional mouse. It was a hollow case in which you can (evidently) store things (maybe a smaller, functioning, mouse).

Just looking at it filled me with frustration, as it reminded me of a real mouse, yet was useless.

My brother replaced the family’s computer mouse with this monstrosity, causing confusion for minutes. It was the only purpose this gift ever served.

I hated this gift given by my colleague

The worst gift I ever got was at a White Elephant gift exchange. I got the curved handle of an umbrella, not whole umbrella just the handle broken off.

This was used as an example of what not to bring for years.

I hated this gift given by my parents

Worst gift: I always want as a child an original carrera track but I only get one no name one to Christmas, this is not a bad gift but I am still in obsession of owning and playing a real original carrera track.

So if I get a son I will buy a carrera track as soon as possible!

Crocodile party, Diamond Earings & White Chocolate!

From : Anon
To : Anon

I hated this gift given by my aunt

The gift has to have some aspect of anticipation, it has to have a sooo close but not quite right, and it has to one of those that you have to smile a say thank you, even as you grit your teeth.

For me, it was one Christmas my family (kids) bought me a game.

I have so many they rarely get me any, but they dropped hints, built it up over time, then I could see it under the tree. It sounded right when you shook it.

So when we got around to finally opening it – Crocodile Pool Party!! It proudly sits on the shelf filling that hole in my “Kosmos for 2” collection, but even after a few plays with the kids, they too thought that was the best place for it.

I think my wife was in on this, the joke gift is a family tradition.

One Christmas, I pulled a twist on this on my wife. She unwrapped a cheap hand operated personal ice cream maker, an ok appliance, but wanted about as much as a new pair of underwear.

The kids and I player it up, her big gift, oh she could be using all the time, isn’t it wonderful – oh to see the strained smile on her face……priceless.

Then I told her to look at the “ICE” inside the ice cream maker. Place inside was a new pair of diamond earrings……….the smile wasn’t so strained after that.

Also, my worst ever gift was from my parents. They know that white chocolate gives me severe migraines and yet a couple of years ago they got my posh WHITE CHOCOLATE as one of my Christmas presents!
Cheers guys,

Men's low-rise bikini briefs.

I hated this gift given by my girlfriend

Many moons ago, a woman I was dating commented on my choice in
underwear: boxers, mostly single-color, nothing fancy. She mentioned
in passing one day that she was going to get me something a little
more… alluring. Nothing happened. I thought nothing of it.

Until Christmas.

At her family’s house.

When I gave her a rather expensive bike that she’s been wanting.

And she gave me the underwear.

Men’s low-rise bikini briefs.

With the California Raisins cartoon characters on the front.

Everyone laughed very, very hard. But her.

THAT was a holiday season worth forgetting.
