What's the WORST Christmas gift you ever got?

[Thuja 3,659]

One of my cousins bought me a jacket that was two-times larger than the size I was wearing at the time.  The worst part of it was when she said, "Oh...  I thought you were bigger..."  

[Meddle 24]

A pack of bandages, and a tube of lip balm from my uncle.

[Fluttershyfan94 5,742]

I've never really thought of what is the worst or best gifts. I get socks quite often but they aren't all that bad, I think deodorant, perfumes and soaps they aren't really bad gifts but I get the hint.. I smell, so that's why I usually get a lot of perfumes.

 

I don't think any gift is the worst, I think they're all great and what matters is the thought that was put into that gift.

[Hi Hi Puffy YumiMiko 55]

The Xbox 360 Kinect... *shudders* it is horrible, and I have never used it and specifically told them not to buy me it! xD

I got a 3DS from my aunt and I hated it. I feels your feelings (I pawned it in for some money to buy some Adventure Time stuff!)

 

Dang it, I love your Yumi avatar!

Can't wait to start on Code Lyoko Evolution as soon as I get through with the cartoon. lol

Thank you! Do you like Adventure Time too? *ATFANFOREVRR*

My grandmother once bought me a Twilight (the movie Franchise) board game...

[Derpaholic 1,155]

I've never gotten any "bad" presents, because I wouldn't *dare* to complain about anything I receive as a present.
If someone is kind enough to buy me a gift, no matter what it is, I'm happy with it, and thankful to them.

How could you hate the 3DS? I love mine.

 

I got a stupid wedding present from my aunt. She gave us some hippie basket that she spent less than a dollar on. I was pretty pissed, since prior to the wedding, she and I weren't speaking. She could have at least pretended to think about what she was doing.

[Neon Fire 473]

How can you say getting something expensive like a 3DS or kinect is bad? =P I would appreciate the thought of someone getting me something so expensive

 

anyway, I never really like saying I get stuff I don't like since they care and are getting me something.  But if I were to pick, it would be these vibrant Santa socks I never wore lol

Still not as bad as the bratty teens who tweet photos of their shattered brand-new iPhones on Christmas day, accompanied by insults towards their parents, simply because it was the wrong color. Seeing that genuinely depresses me.

I can't say that I have ever gotten truly bad christmas presents, since a gift is a gift after all.

But I have gotten a few gifts that have... "bad taste", so to say. Bad jokes. For example, I got one year g-strings from my aunt and cousins... And my aunt said afterwards that "Oh, I forgot to pack the hemorrhoid cream."

 

But other than that, I can't say I've gotten bad christmas presents. I have gotten Twilight stuff since my mum thought I liked it, but I can't say that it was a bad christmas present...

 

And to all those who say getting books is a lame christmas present - shame on you! Books are awesome! You have to read the book before you can say it's lame!

But I do get those who get these expensive gifts and still see them as a bad gift, tho it's rude if you just childishly shake it off and have a tantrum about it. "I WANTED iPHONE 4S, STUPID! NOT iPHONE 4!"

 

I got an iPad as a christmas gift a couple of years back and saw it as a bad christmas present, since it was expensive and I didn't need it and didn't want it... But nowadays it's actually quite useful. But that's because I SUCKED IT UP and was thankful that my parents used their hard-earned money to buy it in the first place!

I got a barbie once. It was when I was like, 13. I have honestly hated barbies all of my life. I ripped it's head of the next day.

 

 

Also, EVERY SINGLE YEAR I GET SOCKS. LIKE FRICKEN NEON POCA-DOTTED SOCKS. DO THEY THINK IM LIKE A SOCK ENTHUSIAST OR SOMETHING?

All the gifts I've ever gotten have been quite good (although I don't care for other people buying clothes for me).

 

The worst present I ever saw? Gift exchange at one of my first jobs, many years ago: it as typical work gift exchange, everyone drew the name of one coworker to gift, and this one dude, who was a hobby photographer, wrapped up a roll of film for his giftee. Who was not a photographer. :/

[Doc. Volt 2,561]

 a bucking book about philosophy!!! argh!!! i am an engineer damn it! How can you gift me something like this???? The horror! the non-sense! the non-pratical!! argh it burns! and i rode it!! argh (btw interesting as hell.. but not my stuff)

[Veggiebrony 18]

I used to hate getting any clothes but now I don't mind. Just NO MORE SOCKS!!! I have enough socks.

I am thankful for any gifts I get, I just don't have enough storage for anymore socks and I get them every year.

[Darrala 269]

I don't remember the name of it, but it was a short book about playing guitar, aimed at beginners.

 

For fuck's sake mom and dad, you KNEW that i had already played guitar for like 5 years when you bought it to me.

 

After 5 years of playing, i really don't need a book telling me how to read guitar tabs, how to play the most basic chords and how to strum effectively.

 

It's like giving someone who's taught chemistry for 5 years a book called "The periodic table: A very short introduction"

Although I most certainly don't want to claim that I'm selfless or anything like that, I can't think of a single gift I haven't appreciated. So it's very hard for me to think of a "worst" gift. I just don't think that way.

[Super Derpy 535]

I usually like all the christmas presents I get so I would say  the worst thing I have ever gotten is probably on the multiple occasions when someone bought me a book I already had.

[Wayzer 1,418]

In the Netherlands we get our presents from Sinterklaas it's some kind of national holiday I love it  .

I've never really gotten anything bad actually, well maybe the paper box but that didn't really count.

[Gay Bird 421]

I got socks. Uncomfortable ones. My mom said they were good to wear while skiing, but I already had better ski socks. Also once at a silent Santa thing I got a coupon for a fish taco at rubios.

[Moved to Elsewhere 11,331]

Well last year my mom knew I was a brony so she bought me a pony shirt at Target. The bad thing was it was those knock off shirts that had a pony which loos like a g3 pony

[Neon Fire 473]

Ack...  So true.  Or sometimes people will complain about not getting everything they wanted and they got $700 worth of presents. ._.

[Pony2TheMax 0]

I couldn't help but to say something on this, it was a my little pony from the 80's. Last year (2012) I didn't even know where my dad got it! 

[squareyes 153]

Deodorant.

 

To this day I am uncertain whether it was meant as an insult or if it was sent to me because of my age at the time.

You're not the only one. I got it in a Secret Santa at school, last year and I felt the same way. It's still funny to tell others.

[lomk 20,663]

my great grandpa literally gave me coal one year XD

 

How is this a bad gift? One should never underestimate the power of the gift of warmth on Christmas!

As for the worst gift I ever got myself, my mom once got me an electric toothbrush...I don't know if she was trying to convey a message with that or what...

One year, I brought a cheap Nendoroid of Misa (the blonde haired girl) from Death Note. (I didn't even watch Death Note, I like anime and just wanted a Nendoroid.) It turned out to be a bootleg, and I never played with it because it was fake. I wound up throwing it into the trash eventually. This year (not for Christmas), I got my first real Nendoroids, Stardust Witch Meruru from Oreimo and Ultimate Madoka, from AmiAmi, a reliable site which sells official stuff. I got Ultimate Madoka because I saw her at Kinokuniya and she was about $50 (Kinokuniya has a lot of overpriced stuff. I think they had a wallet or luggage tag of Charlotte from Madoka that was $15 dollars.)  However, I only payed about $30 for my Nendoroids on AmiAmi. Moral of the story: Do not buy cheap Nendoroids from America or Hong Kong.
