Morgan Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 My wife's mum once got a box of tissues from her brother. I know of someone who was given a can of WD40. My mum, bless her, once gave me a soap dish that she got in a Charity shop that she worked in. She probably nicked it too. A feckin soap dish. From my own mum. A stolen one. There must be far worse ones? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tazio Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 A bottle of Newcastle Brown. That was actually wrapped with a gift tag. Now I know that christmas isn't supposed to be about the cost of things but it stings a bit when you've spent a fortune on presents for a family member, their partner, and their kids they buy you a bottle of beer. Meanwhile they spent a fortune on gifts in the house, "sorry we could only get you a beer, the kids got an ipad and a television for their room each. And we are saving cash as we've just bought a fortnight at Disneyland" Arseholes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 My brother had a supernatural talent at gifting the most bizarre and useless things in human history. He only ever gets me beer now. So he's redeemed himself. Thankfully I get more than one bottle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N Lincs Jambo Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 About 8-9 years ago we got our youngest daughter a plastic bucket, sponge and car shampoo as a bit of a joke (she did wash our car at the weekend in return for us getting her a decent mobile and pay for her contract). She was utterly livid until she noticed an envelope in the bucket. She opened it to find two tickets to see her then favourite band All Time Low at Manchester. She forgave us for the practical joke 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He went in the huff about it so she didn’t bother to tell him if he’d actually went to the bother of trying them on he would have found the watch inside on if then. It was days later before he twigged. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greedy Jambo Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Best presents were obviously when i was a kid, games consoles, bmx etc. I've had some utter tripe in the last 10 years, stupid books, like 100 crazy things in the world etc. I would have just been happy with some hot sauce.

Der Kaiser Posted November 30, 2023 Share Posted November 30, 2023 Years back I had a Secret Santa at a school I was temporarily teaching at. When I opened the wrapping I found this with a multi pack bar of cheap chocolate taped to it. Initially I thought it might be a bottle of something....... It wasn't. It was this horse calendar Sponsored by Genting Casino I think they forgot until the day and just wrapped something they found in their house which they clearly got for free....or they clearly despised me. It was so bad that I kept it. (And its colour in your own wallpaper I have in a corner of my kitchen in case you're wondering. If you visit you get to colour one in) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
