I'm not big on gifts as an adult, but I recall as a kid receiving a pair of loosely knitted slippers from my aunt. They were ugly, uncomfortable, and one was much bigger than the other.

A waterpik

We got some kind of leather tube to carry a bottle of wine in, I think, for a wedding gift. Anyone want it?

Second hand flannel pajamas. On Christmas.

A bag of Skittles. For my "birthday" Two days after my birthday. .

In a Yankee swap, I ended up with a device to measure the distance to the next hole by narrowing in on the fLag they stick in the hole. I've never golfed.

Nothing. On my 50 th Birthday, the guy I was living with went out drinking with another woman. Nothing unusual. By that time I was sleeping in the guest room. Funny I honestly don't care about gifts any more.

A level and pair of gloves ! That cost about 2 dollars when I had both that equaled 50. I didn’t need it and they knew it! A hug would have been fine

I got a bath towel from a past girlfriend once for Christmas. That was it, just the towel.

I bet I am shorter than you.

A spitoon. Need I say more?

A cooking pot on our first Christmas. What?

Ex-girlfriend gave me a can of spray on waterproofing for shoes.

we had a great Aunt that was honestly and simultaneously both the most thoughtful and the worst gift giver of all time. When I was young, she lovingly and meticulously hand sewed rows and rows of lace and rosebuds on panties for me. That was nice, but you know, it was the 70's and we were rocking bikini underwear under our bell bottoms and halter tops. That underwear was so UNBELIEVABLY scratchy. She also knew I liked art and had some modest aspirations to create art. She felt as a person who liked art, I would want paintings to hang in my bedroom. So, for my High School Graduation, she gave me an incredibly amateurish oil painting of two cockatoos where one had a foot held up in such a way it looked like a cockatoo penis. She was so proud of this purchase. She found it at a flea market from a "local artist who had won MANY awards". We had a dedicated nail on the wall at home. When she would visit, the "Cock"-atoo painting would come out and be hung in a prominent place. As soon as she left it would go back in the darkest recesses of the closet. She was a good person. She just was horrible at gifts. But we never let on how bad her gifts were.

A percussion massager so he wouldn’t have to rub my shoulders anymore

It had to have been something my former MIL gave me for xmas, which would off the top of my head be a tie between some type of strainer found in the gadget aisle of say walgreens, a plastic rice maker? (bitch I know how to make RICE in a pot!).

Then again, I can't feel too bad she always gave her son the same grey shirt every year, which was always left in the box. I think that must have stung him as she always went to so much trouble to get his sisters exactly what they wanted.

As a child i always got a pair of socks every year for Christmas from my aunt

Oh I almost forgot.......nothing

Yikes! That is terrible. The worst gift I ever got wasn't that bad but I wasn't ready for it. My mom gave me an electric razor when I tuned 13. I hated it. I was growing up but didn't want to yet. I just thought it was the most terrible thing she could have gotten me. Looking back, it was a nice gift just a year or two to soon.

I don't really care all that much about gifts. I'm not a spectacular gift giver myself, so I really don't have much in the way of expectations, and I'd like the same grace given to myself... BUT the first holiday gift my (ex)husband gave me (in 1981) was a puce jogging suit and jump-rope. He was very into "fit" girls, and I was not "fit" enough for him. This was his way of helping me to be someone I was not.

I was 5'6" and 120 pounds, but still too fat for him. His gift giving didn't improve much from that over the decades, but as I said, I don't really care about gifts. Some people just don't have the knack, and I admit to being one of them... But there are some gifts you can easily take as an insult.

I remember being disappointed that he felt I needed improvement and couldn't be celebrated for something likeable about me.

My ex once gave me a Mickey Mouse snow globe for Christmas. I always thought it was because I gave no gift, but she forgot that I bought her round trip flight to Kenya.

I got a car one time. We had opened gifts at home and there wasn't one for me. Then we drove out to his parent's house and on the way past the shop he said "there's your present, that car" and pointed to an old car. I don't think it was even a month later he sold it.

My birthday is December 12. When I turned four, my godmother sent me the biggest package I had ever seen, but I wasn't allowed to open it until Christmas. It was a build it yourself telescope. I don't know any four year olds who are that into astronomy. And it was only 200x magnification. Even more disappointing than the cleaning caddy my ex got me for Christmas when I tried to break up with him in 2000. He thought I could use it for my new place (that I stayed in for two nights). (I wish I had stayed there much, much longer.)

I dated a man for near 6 yrs .. I don't think he ever got me six gifts . I don't celebrate Xmas so he was happy about that I guess , but nothing for birthdays or just something ? One year he got me a device to hook up both of my dogs and walk them w one hand .. I don't know y he thought I need a free hand while walking my babies . The man wasn't cheap other ways . Just cheap and not thoughtful w me I guess . Or simply enough , did not loved me . And I am smiling ?

Well, do you use it ???

I'm sorry . That is just a little bit funny.
