Inappropriate Christmas Presents

[craft1948]

Following on from Dixie's Xmas thread what is the worst present you have ever received?
I am still wetting myself with laughter after talking to my daughter on the phone tonight. Her father and his wife go to Spain for the winter and he has given her her Xmas present before leaving the other day.
Said daughter is single, lives by herself in her own beautiful, but very small house, which just has enough room for a couple of sofas, a large TV, a large dog, and a very large wine rack. She enjoys dining out and never has dinner parties.
For Xmas he has bought her.....................A HOSTESS TROLLEY...................PMSL......

I've always had lovely pressies, so cannot remember having a duff one.

My sister gave me the most awful blouse / pyjama top dirty pink coloured thingy - she has not a clue

I think that sounds like a case of present recycling!!! Where can you buy hostess trolleys these days??lol

One Christmas I was 8 1/2 months pregnant and my mother asked what I would like as a present. Wasn't really thinking about post baby clothes for myself and didn't really want anything in particular (too tired to think of anything) so she bought me some bacon!

My mother-in-law gave me a ashtray which was wrapped in paper that had been used before (she keeps all wrapping paper off her presents to re-cycle the next year) aww gotta love the in-laws havn't ya.

I remember that my dad bought my mother and iron and ironing board one Christmas. She told me that she wanted to clonk him on the head with it.

honky she did well to find an ashtray.....not many places sell them now....

I used to work with someone who asked people not to send her Xmas cards........she would just put the old ones out each year.............

craft she is a carboot fanatic proberbly brought it from there. To me honest i dread receiving present off her only cause i have to thank her for them and i don't want to. Apart from the prezzies she is a lovely lady. lol

When I was 12, my sister, who was in her 20s at the time, bought me a shoe shine kit; that was so exciting...

First Christmas after I married in 1978 I found two parcels wrapped up in the spare room, a large one and a smallish one, (we were in an RAF quarter), when we got back to lancashire for Christmas, Christmas morning at my mums my new husband gave me the small pardel to open, a wooden jewellry box (I have never worn jewellery), the large present never surfaced, Boxing Day at his mum's, my mother-in'law thanked me for the GoblinTeasmade, (I had bought her talcum powder!) . I have never forgotten that!

I must admit I did a very naughty thing when married to my first husband. One of his ladyfriends (unaware that I knew of their relationship) asked me what he'd like for Xmas and I told her he was mad on Kraftwerke. She duly bought the LP and gave it to him.........he hated them but I thought they were great.......

My sister in law (who hates me cos I've been married before and have a child and am much younger than my husband) bought me a Girls Night In set a couple of years ago. It was a set of invitations, pink nail varnish, a dice game - with suggestions such as 'manicure', 'facial', 'talk about boys' etc and was suitable for a teenage girl(I'm 37). Not only that but it had been opened and the jar of face mask was dried solid. The woman is loaded too!

I'm sorry karen but I think that's hilarious.........I hope you got your own back....lol

Karen - you should have bought her a tube of steradent in return !!
