Worst Christmas Gifts

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

A friend of mine was giving me a Barbara Streisand record full with Christmas songs. :urff: :urff:
What was she thinking about me? I'm a bit concerned. :?

Who else got offending gifts for Christmas?

My mother bought me a coffee maker thing last year. Not a great gift for someone who doesn't like coffee :|

La Streisand is a class act. :wink:
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

When I was about 13 my grandparents who I haven't seen for about 20 years bought me a paisley dress with a paper doily collar on. My wonderful mother made me wear it infront of the christmas tree whilst she took a photo so they could think "that you wore it on christmas day" :evil:

On my mothers part though she did let me take it off straightaway and we took it back to the shop and got a credit note! :lol: :notworthy:

I was hoping for a tamagochi for Christmas, and all I got was a Middle Eastern bloke sacrificing himself to cleanse my sins. I ask you!

Maybe it's a little sheep. :D

This thread makes me realise actually, I've been remarkably lucky pressie-wise.

There was the one time my mum bought me a Crowded House CD, of all things (I was about 12 or 13 I think)... it had been advertised on the telly and I just casually said I liked one of their songs - and I mean casually! - but because SHE liked them herself she went and bought it.
Actually now it comes flooding back, like repressed memory syndrome or something... she got me a Simply Red CD as well! :eek: :lol: :eek: :lol:

I made her take them back to the shop - that's quite evil isn't it? But she did the same to me when I got her a jumper and a bathrobe she didn't like. Bitch! :lol:

So I guess she went to a shop on a certain day before X mas. Thinking of you and a present to buy and she goes into this one shop and sees this coffee thingy and thinks.....this is it!!!!!

BTW, worst Xm-ASS present was a new violin when I was about 9-10 yearsa old and when all I could think about was how to get out of my (forced) violin lesson! :lol:

Strangely the best Christmas present I ever received was a musical instrument (flute) and lessons although I was initially gutted because I had originally really wanted an oboe or a saxophone.

Apparently one of my classmates would have cried if he got some of my presents. Then again, he's not a fiddly techy geek. Today I helped my mother choose me a maths textbook to put under the tree...but I'm just weird ;D

I guess worst is in the eye of the beholder.

I got a bottle of shampoo one year. That was odd. I spent all day wondering whether my mum was trying to tell me something or if it was just a weird joke. Image

Why can't he go work for nokia or so :lol:

Can't really thing of a terrible thing I ever got for Christmas, but plenty of years to go to get crap gifts :lol:

One of the worst things ever given to me was a projection clock, with big clear orange letters for the time on it, and it projected the same... If there's one thing I can't stand when I'm trying to sleep it's anything that makes light :urff: :lol: (plus it was oversized and nearly took all of my bed-side table :roll: )
