When I still used to get presents from my Granny it was always a pair of polyester Y -fronts in a trendy psychodelic pattern. I dont where she used to get them from, she must have had a time portal to the 70's.
Either that or the Spectacle case I got from my brother a couple of years back.
I got a Haggis from an old auntie.
I got a pair of kitchen scissors which my boyfiend at the time had engraved my name on!! We split not long after and he couldn't understand why I wasn't thrilled with his present.
I got a lp collection.....50's, 60's,70's and 80's greatest hits!!!It was in the early 80's and I was 16 so I didnt really appreciate it! :eek: x

My worst was a book on household cleaning tips given to me by my mother. Subtle as a sledgehammer and I've never used it, just on principle. She asked me what I thought of it and I said the goat loved eating it.
My husband's mum sent him a golf shirt last year in a lurid pink. Our son laughed and laughed as soon as he put it on and it is now used as a kind of family joke (as in "That's about as tasteless as a hot pink golf shirt ..." etc).
My late grandmother gave me a stingray made from shells - it was a pin cushion and had a little padded bit on it's back wing. She also gave me a plastic wipe-down tablecloth emblazoned with flags of the world which, actually although it is hideous, provided quite a few educational moments over dinner. She was also famous for sending presents wrapped in old butcher's paper, still with the labels on ("Chicken legs, £2.99).
Merry Christmas!
Probably the year I got three manicure sets from three of my aunties. :(

When I was a younger man I received some rather garish 'Val Doonican' type jumpers over various Christmasses.

I bought my wife a set of sherry glasses for Christmas c.1971 and she has never let me forget it.
one year my mum made a huge fuss about the care and thought that had gone into choosing my present and took pains to tell me that she had to search everywhere for one of the items. I was very disappointed to recieve a washable, reversable, rather smelly vinyl tablecloth and a raffia food cover in green and orange.
3 pairs of navy blue school knickers:eek: when i was about 12. All my friends were wearing hipsters ect ......i will never live that one down ! jan x

My worst to date was one of those noisy de-stress shoot'em gizmos. However, I think that will be surpassed this year. ;)
My gran, bless her, used all her odd balls of wool to knit me multi-coloured socks.:eek:
I bet they were lovely in bed on a cold night though :lol:

:eek: Just realizing the perfume I got last year is actually for men. I saw it advertised on the TV just now, for men and just googled it. DKNY Red Delicious, good grief I've been going about smelling like a harry hoof for months, no wonder I'm still single. Wait until I get a hold of my mother! [evil]
Lol, is there any blokies wanting half a bottle of male scent?

http://www.sephora.com/browse/product.jhtml?id=P140507Hmm, now I am confused. The mens one looks exactly the same as the womans. How do you tell the difference? I'm looking at it now to see if it says pour homme or something on it. :eek:
My late mother once gave my wife an oven glove with the words 'Factory reject' stamped on the back!

A couple of years ago my husband gave me a pitchfork. I don't know what he was thinking. I do use it, so I guess it wasn't a complete waste....I didn't feel very special.

My (soon-to-be) ex-husband got me an iron AND an ironing board. He couldn't understand why I wasn't thrilled...though I suppose hearing some of the others I probably shouldn't complain - at least he threw in the ironing board.
not the "worst" as such, but i couldnt use it... Versace "perfume... pour homme" :lol: smells nice on hubby tho, so not entirely wasted! ;)
