Title says it all. My worst gift ever was a christmas present. A blue polo shirt with dark blue horizontal stripes..... I was hella pissed but i played it off nicely till i could find a garbage can. If you're not gonna put thought into a gift, why bother giving anything? ?

I was given 3 small T-shirts last year from my sister for xmas ... I haven't worn anything below a large for about 6 years, so it was quite disappointing.

An uuuuggly ceramic coffee pot and 2 mugs with roosters on them. I don't even drink coffee. Sold it on Ebay for $20!

Haha I got a shirt exactly like that, but it was Charter Club or something and was the ugliest, not-my-style shirt ever. Definitely the worst present ever, but I of course pretended to love it and worship it until my aunt left.

when i graduated either high school or college, i received a pair of swim trunks from my mother's aunt.

i'm getting checks and cash left and right, then i have to open up a box with a pair of swim trunks and hold them up for everyone to see.

Oh, and one time, I got a goggles/snorkel set designed for pools, and my family didn't even have a pool. shrug

I got it from a close friend of the family who knew, too. I'm thinking she got it for me to use in [ib089dff689]her[/ib089dff689] pool, but she moved to a new house like a month later that didn't even have a pool. ?

Can a gift really be a bad thing to begin w/? I mean someone gives you something for nothing, and all people do is bitch about it. If you don't like the thing just shut up and disguard it later.

All gifts are good to me, whether or not I like it is the fact. Even if it costs $1 and it's only thing I got, I'd be happy.

But since we are here, the thing I liked the least was probably...well, I can't even think of a bad gift..

Probably some clothing or something that was rigged or something.

theres a difference between a bad gift and a gift thats made of %9000
fail. A 10 dollar best buy gift cert wouldve at least shown that the person put a minimal ammount of thought in the gift. But a $50 polo shirt with horizontal fucking stripes...? shes fucking lucky i didnt say shit.

I think you should charge like 5$ every time someone makes a numerically symbolic mistake.

My grandmother gave me for Christmas my senior year of high school....

A sweater I had given her earlier in the year for Mother's day and said, "I saw that in my dresser and thought you would like it." Along with the regifted-right-back-to-me sweater, she gave me a pair of Black Hills Gold earrings and she said, "I bought those for myself but didn't like them and thought you would."

The kicker? I'm her ONLY blood granddaughter. All the other grandkids are step-grandkids and they got better gifts. lol

I still love her though. ;)

My uncle makes a million dollars a year and I'm not exaggerating. Anyway, one year for my birthday he gave me one of those 100 arcade PC game packs you find in the $10 bin at Circuit City.

Maybe he can make that much because he doesn't spend much....;) Some of the "cheapest" people are also the wealthiest, as much as it sucks.

It's the thought that counts. Even if you receive a crayon for your birthday...cherish it...because what if it's the last thing you have of that person to remember? Just because you don't like it...doesn't mean you shouldn't be thankful for it.

ironically... my worst gift happened to be my most unique gift ever....

let me explain

i used to live in miami with my grandmother and uncle when i was about to graduate elementary school... long story short, my crazy uncle bought me somewhere along the lines of a 9mm pistol as a graduation present...he shot a duck with it in my backyard, and i was amazed...

my grandmother called the cops on my uncle...

gun gone...

graduation ruined...

The exact same tshirt (same size and same design) from the same person 3 years in a row. The person must have bought these in bulk.

Had to be donated to charity each time.

Gotta bump this one.

I got home from work, and my mom wasn't home yet. She said a flower company called and told us we had a delivery and they left it on the front porch. My mom figured it was from her mom because she has been taking care of her (slipped disc/pinched nerve in her back) these past couple weeks.

She was wrong.

It was an ivy plant, addressed to me, for my graduation.

What the [b57029d496b]fuck[/b57029d496b] am I going to do with an ivy plant? It was from my mom's friend that I know, and she's pretty cool.

Seriously. What the hell?

my worst gift was this weird airplane thing from my grandparents when I was about 9. I never really was into airplanes. I was bummed, because my grandparents usu. got me the coolest things, oh well. It's OK.

Fortunately they weren't there when I opened it. D

No bad birthday gifts this year. Usually because by now people know enough to ask me what i want or give money. I got a sweet new deck and new shoes and the rest was cash.

and props to the people who donated clothing they didnt like. I was so pissed when i got that polo shirt i just threw it in the trash when i got home
