worst christmas presents ever list

[penkitten]

here is the place to describe the worst christmas presents you ever got ...
hopefully our list will be a riot....

heres to starting the list off:
in 1984, (later referred to as the year santa died) i was 6 in the 1st grade.
i had to bring a wrapped gift for a girl and my parents were to spend around 5 bucks.
the gift i gave, was some girlie baby doll.
the teacher made us sit in 2 circles, a boy circle and a girl circle.
as the music played , we passed our gifts to the left like hot potato.
when the music stopped, we were to unwrap the gift we had in our hand.
my gift to open was silly putty in some sort of egg container.
after i unwrapped it, i was like wtf?
some curly headed pink hairbow wearing blonde says "don't you love it"?
i told her i did not even know what it was.
my mother, however, did know what it was and made me throw it directly in the garbage.

What did your Mom have against Silly Putty? When I was six, my favorite toys included matches, lighters, and anything flammable.

As for worst gifts, one year my Dad got my Mom a .25 cal hand gun for Christmas, not because she wanted a gun, but because he thought it was cool. It was like the old episode of The Simpsons where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball fit to his hand and engraved 'Homer.'

... my parents are pretty poor right now, im 18, and haven't had a typical christmas for years since my parents are divorced..

i don't expect them to buy me gifts for christmas.

i appreciate everything they do for me... and if they were to buy me lunch thats perfectly fine by me, i'd return the favor every now and then.

so hows my mom's poor... in debt and such. i always "complain" i don't have ANY socks... so she bought me a pack for christmas... lol. and she's gonig to help me pay a lil bit for the repairs on my car.

i can appreciate that because small things like that can give me the ability to go out and make my own money, instead of freebies.

i'd hate to think any of my families gifts are one of the "worst" i've gotten... it actually pisses me off people would call something free one of their "worst" gifts ever.

Two fake crystal dogs hot-glued onto a couple of pieces of broken mirror. My dad bought that for me a couple of years ago. It's really ugly.

I loved silly putty, penkitten!!!

SNAP!! It\\\'s still sitting in its case by the wall gathering dust. It makes a useful mini table though. I play piano but it\'s still horrendously bad. My parents are obsessed, (as in it\'s almost literally ALL they EVER talk about), with me doing well in school and playing music.

I mean I wouldn\'t mind, but they are literally obsessive. They talk to my friends who come knock to me, saying like, oh isn\'t school work SOOOOO important. And my mates are just like \"... er yer?\" Then they shout out to me \"SEE!!!!! Even *name* thinks so!!!!\" It\'s the most frustrating thing ever. I once started talking to them about my friends new car, and then they go \"well he must have worked hard in school to get the money for it, you have to do that too.\" Once about when I did my skydive and they said, \"well that\'s a waste of life, you should have your head down in a book studying!\"

SOOOOOOo frustrating believe me! I just avoid talking to them completely now, so I don\'t have to hear the same s*** I\'ve heard every day of my life, 24/7. When I asked them to talk about something else they called me a \"nasty b******\" and then said, \"go ahead, be a f****** waster, that\'s all you will ever achieve, nasty b******!\"

F**** I hate them!!!!!!!!

...

*calms*

Hate to derail this thread, but are you 12? You're parents are right...reading and doing well in school will open a lot of doors for you. Why don't you be a little more humble and try to at least entertain the opinions of others that are older and therefore have more life experience than you. Wise men don't learn from their mistakes. Wise men learn from the mistakes of others.

Snowball candles I got at a "draw numbers" type gift exchange at an organization I belonged to.

This year a gift went wrong that wasn't bad, per se, but was the biggest holiday gift shopping screw-up I've experienced:

I asked for a bait-casting combo suitable for musky fishing, and my mom did the shopping. She's not an expert, so relied on the sales person's judgment. The sales person picked out an excellent rod and reel ... she spent way more than expected ... or I even wanted her to... but they did not match. The reel was an excellent, but tiny bait-caster, suitable for smallmouth bass or trout fishing, and the rod was a superb spinning rod, just right for musky casting.

So ... I like the spinning rod so much I decided exchanging the reel for a properly sized spinning reel will work out great, so all's well that ends well, and I'll have a great spinning combo for musky and pike.

 

[Potbelly]

yes but that\'s the point I\'m making, I already know what they are trying to drum into me, but when it\'s all you hear everyday of your life, 24/7, you would get annoyed too.

I do hear it 24/7 lol...but whatever, they're my parents. I just nod and carry on.
