A friend gave me a bottle of Powers Whiskey in a slightly tattered box. I've more than a suspicion it's the same bottle I gave him last year. I don't drink whiskey now and he doesn't drink at all. If ever there was a white elephant...
One year i was hoping my husband would buy me some perfume for christmas, i like more or less any perfume, love the stuff
He gave me a pair of oven gloves, a shopping bag and a plastic set of kitchen scales. and wondered why i wasnt delighted.!!!
To tell you my worst present this year would be extremely unfair to the person who gave it to me, since it was my only present (my first one for seven years in fact) and actually rather nice.
However I've previously been given a set of sash window locks, despite not having sash windows!
Flumps. (you know the marshmallow sweets) My mum buys me a bucket of them every year and I've no idea why - I can't stand them, and have dropped several hints over the years.
Mind you, with next doors annual boxing day karaoke party warming up, they might be the most useful present ever - ear-plugs! ;-)
I've been trying to think of the worst present I've ever received but can honestly say, for anyone that's ever had to que in the run up to Christmas and pick a present for me, wrap it and give me I think that's brilliant and I genuinely love all I've ever received, except the time an ex got a hint I was about to dump him (and I was) he bought me an engagement ring - that was thoughtless, ridiculous and I wanted to shove that ring where the sun wouldn't shine, I didn't.. I walked away - maybe that was a good present after all. I've never had a worst present - luckily my family and friends know my likes and dislikes
Our first Christmas married, two poverty-stricken students, the OH gave me a set of Robert Carrier cooking cards, we needed to use a dictionary to find out what many ingredients were. For my 50th, many years later and slightly more solvent, he bought me a Terry's chocolate orange, which I loathe!
