WHAT IS THE WORST CHRISTMAS PRESIE YOU EVER HAD?

**RedDragon** · 09-12-2009, 11:07 AM

One Christmas Eve husband really wanted to open a bottle of whiskey that was all wrapped up from my mum. I eventually gave in and said "Oh go on then", thinking we could have a nice drink together.

He opened it and it was a 99p bottle of Christmas Ale.

His face was an absolute picture and now he hates spending on her.

A dinner service {we had been going out for 6 weeks} and a fold up chair because I happened to mention in passing that I liked it.
We are now divorced.

The electric nit comb just reminded me.
My first husband bought me a book on potty training and was seriously slighty bemused as to why I wasn't pleased.
If only I were joking.

Never mind in laws

Just happy that I know nice people and have a nice family

Most of the time I get something that I like / want

Some of these have made me laugh though

My mil bought me most of the nicest clothes that i had, and even the ones from dh were chosen by her! She knew what looked good on me and it was usually something i would never have looked at.

I have been bought a shredder, and a glass shoe with baileys in, yuk and yuk again, but i know someone who loves baileys so i just handed over my one and only present!

really laughing at your pressies! Years ago I worked for an american company and their tradition was pick a name from a hat and give that person a pressie, my friend and I (being the only 2 non-texans) didn't get the joke of it and we bought really nice gifts..... I got a used colander which was melted on the side from being accidently put in the dishwasher and my friend got a "douche bag" (I was only 18 at the time and loudly asked what its for! still blush thinking about the replies!!!

My hubby bought me a classic about 3 years ago - a sellotape dispenser - oh and of course - sellotape to go with it. I had been moaning about how difficult it was to wrap presents with the sellotape keep getting re-stuck and making him help me. To get himself out of the job - he bought the dispenser and is very proud of it. To say I was dischuffed with what he believed to be a very thoughtful present would be an understatement.

I have to admit - wrapping presents is much easier these days but I wouldn't tell him that.
