A former boss would give me an expensive present for Christmas which I really wouldn't want, but wouldn't give me a raise or other things that I needed on the job. To receive this caused me a great deal of pain, so I would either give it away or take it back if I possibly could.

A small statue of Miss Piggy made out of flour and water and baked in the oven. I got this from my "crafty" Aunt when I was 6. She told me she had baked it, so later on after she left, I decided that I needed to see what it tasted like, so I bit into it. It did not taste like a cookie AT ALL. Yuck!

How about pink and purple snow boots at ages 5-12, for a boy, when I live in Southern California. Foreign grandmother.

When I was around 10 or so, I wanted a bike SO bad and sent a letter to Santa lol. So before anyone got up I ran downstairs and saw the coolest bike. I ran back up to my bed, all excited. Once we all began to open gifts, I found that bike was for my sister and I got a slinky. THAT ticked me off. Now that you mention it, I's still ticked off

Well at my office we always buy a present that can be mens or womans. Everyone puts there present in the middle of the floor.

I chose one and then opened my present up and the thing inside was so embarrassing it was a purple dildo. yukkk I was so embarrassed

My husband bought me lowering springs for my car. I didn't know what they were, but had to admit they were the nicest ones I'd ever received! When my kids were little and doing their own Christmas shopping, I'd explained that it was always nice to give something you know the recipient would enjoy....so he gave each of us a can of Coke and a packet of crisps.

Last year my grandma gave me a skirt that was a size 10 in childrens clothing. I'm 20 years old, I definitely do not wear that size. But atleast I thought, "My grandma thinks I'm skinny!" And then I pulled out a sweater she bought me and it was an XXXL. No joke. There went my skinny theory.. And a very elderly aunt would give us things she found around her house. Old ashtrays, tv guides from 20 years before, etc. But those were our favorites!

My Aunt would always send me turtleneck sweaters 2 sizes two small I never liked turtleneck. So I would rewrap them and give them as gift to someone else. I guess you could say that I regifted before people were regifting.
-
Another sweater to keep me warm :(
-
Probably a wool sweater, since it has to be at least 20 degrees or colder for me to wear wool, but my perspective on Christmas is more from the Christian view which is the celebration it is and the kindness factor in someone giving me anything is nice. So I never eally look at it as a "bad" gift. It might not be what I need or want, but it is still a gift. SO I need to change my answer, the worst gift I got for Christmas is someone showing no holiday spirit and being nasty about the holiday. Compared to that, the sweater and good cheer is an excellent gift.

I must be lucky, I've never had a bad one.

A USED FANNY PACK

Underwear ... and a bright red "fury" sweater with rudolph knitted onto the front.

I went to my ex boyfriend's family christmas, and he didnt tell him grandma that he was bringing me. She felt bad that I didn't have a gift, so she found this old "lady stetson" perfume gift set, and wrapped it in foil for me. The worst part about it was I had to open it in front of his entire family of 50 people. Not a good situation.

Nothing, which is exactly what I deserved. I tried to force my parents to give me what I really wanted. I said "If you don't get me a horse this year, then I don't want anything." So that's what I got - Nothing. I think I was 10 or 11.

Last year my husband bought me a few gifts - among them was a box of ceramic mushrooms in various hues. Hideous. He said he thought they might be nice in the front room as they were "colourful". The front room is a carefully designed colour co-ordinated area, redolent of good taste. Multicoloured mushrooms have no place there. I wanted to shove them up his bum.
-
Can't categorize a worst present but can identify presents I've received that I wasn't sure I would ever use and presents that I really didn't need, like knick knacks. Although, knick knacks come in handy for regifting, so I guess presents like that can be useful. Just need to make sure that the person you give the unwanted gift to doesn't know the person who gave it to you. I guess that's a "duh."
