Worst Christmas/Birthday presents?

[Bloodsucker II]

Or any other occasion for gifts......

I remember when I was like twelve a got this thing that labeled stuff like boxes and crap for my birthday. That wasn't too fun at 12.

[bung]

Like five years ago my aunt received from her aunt (coincidentally), who is slightly off in the head, a box of open Kleenex.

My parents always gave great gifts, but my one of my cousins (who is like 40) once game me a time capsule in '99. It was seriously just a really big plastic, pill-shaped container that said "Time Capsule" on it.

[mynameisX]

A gigantic picture frame, a candle, or a flashlight.

[argg_xo]

my grandma gave my mom a box of crystal light iced tea mix for her birthday last year, my mom wasn't too happy about that.

[Heart-A-Tact]

A friend of mine was given a Ziploc bag half full of cake mix last year.

do you have ocd?... and a major need to label things?

[cheezwhiz]

Two christmases ago my dad gives me some Dr. Seuss books and I got all excited and was like "aww dad these are just like the ones I had when I was little. Do you remember?" His response was "Those are the ones from when you were little." My dad gave me books I already owned. My mom had been left out of the loop and felt really bad, so to make it up to me she bought me an agenda and one of those video games Burger King used to sell when you bought a whopper. The worst part of all that is that my parents gave my brother 4 new xbox games, and I'm supposed to be the favorite.

[cheezwhiz]

Oh and another Christmas, probably when I was around 13, I open my gift from my mom and it was a shoe box. So I genuienly respond, thanks I really needed new shoes. My mom smirks and says open the box, things aren't always what they seem.

It was full of office supplies. My parents fail at Chirstmas.

[Bloodsucker II]

do you have ocd?... and a major need to label things?


hahaha, no. In fact I'm somewhat unorganized. maybe it was was supposed to be an incentive for me to become more organized.

[ohheroine]

That is such a good gift! Use the money for somehting awesome, and cause some havoc by throwing spam at people... or just eat the spam. Works either way.




can i include a trick or treat 'present' in this convo... one of my exes gave some kid a can of spam for halloween when the kid came trick or treating.

jesus christ, it sounds like your grandma was trying to kill you.

[imahoodlum]

I think I've already said this in another thread, but my aunt gave me salad dressing for Christmas. It tasted horrible too.

[SouthernCross40]

For the last four years, my aunt has given me video games designed for 5-7 year olds on a game system that I've never owned. Every time I go to take them back they're worth like $1.25 in store credit. I've never brought it up to my parents because I think the whole thing is my aunt lashing out at me/my mom because I'm a functioning member of society and my cousins aren't.

[robat19]

I don't get shitty presents.

[BryterJonah]

I always get the best presents because everyone un my family expects me to be some sort of messiah when I grow up.

I don't mind.

That never helped me...they've had me pinned as a doctor ever since my dad had heart issues when I was five and I started using big words.

All it ever got me was some effing anatomy books for Christmas...

[redsoxguy676]

juwanna mann, and a pack of cvs pencils. great.

[Dumpweed]

Reptilian on DVD. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0272425/

It was like one of those awful movies you see in a dollar bin at some Big Lots type store. I believe it was a cousin who got it for me for Christmas. What a weird fuck.

[amo.]

someone got me the movie andre..that was pretty bad. and i remember on christmas in 3rd grade, my father gave me a pair of binoculars.

i really can't complain. haha.

[mickmadethelist]

[Renee]

One year my Grandma sent my brother and I coal.
This year my brother gave me a $20 Starbucks giftcard and The Love Guru.
I've usually get sick from anytime just before Christmas to a couple days after my birthday (two weeks after Christmas.)

[zion the lion]

christmas 04 - fucking souvenirs from my moms honeymoon with her asshole of a husband. because nothing says I love you more than a seashell, a bottle of sand, a shirt, and a hot pink dead starfish (I cant lie that last one was awesome), my stepdad is cheap.

14th birthday - lotion that smelled like chocolate vomit that was regifted to me, and a salmonella cake that I didnt even get to blow the candles out of (thanks to my damn stepdad)

15th birthday - airplane peanuts (I was on a plane to germany to visit my aunt)

christmas 07 - popcorn and a packet of hot chocolate (yet my friend was pissed because she only got 1000 dollars)

16th birthday - 3 hotwheels cars, a coffee mug and a hangover...oh and my asshole ex boyfriend sent me a picture of his winkie which my mom found!

christmas 08 - 1 itunes giftcard for 20 dollars after getting promised for 3 weeks that I was getting a playstation (something I've never had...ever)

[AP_Punk]

not related to x-mas or birthdays, but they're presents! for my high school graduation, i got some of the weirdest gifts ever - a towel, silverware, napkins, a blanket, and a clock. it was like everyone stoppeed by alco on the way to my reception.

[Renee]

napkins?

[AP_Punk]

yep. those fancy cloth napkins.

my cum rags.

[thesafeword]

I think I've already said this in another thread, but my aunt gave me salad dressing for Christmas. It tasted horrible too.
I'll give you my salad dressing for Christmas and I bet that it will taste better.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ...

[Renee]

yep. those fancy cloth napkins.

my cum rags.
at least they're functional.

[4N6 science]

I would say socks and sweaters for christmas as a young boy was the worst present ever.

[imahoodlum]

I'll give you my salad dressing for Christmas and I bet that it will taste better.

Sorry, I couldn't resist ...
Hahahaha. I lol'd.

[Chancetobe]

Tuna fish and leaves.

[LaDiabla]

You should all be happy to even get presents.

[MADSTA]

Once my friend gave me an apple for my birthday. Then my brother ate it.

[AP_Punk]

at least they're functional.

it cums in handy!

[thesafeword]

Hahahaha. I lol'd.
Apparently nobody else did, haha. Oh well...

[Dumpweed]

I clicked the link, endless lawls.

I might be the only person on Earth who wants to go there more than about anything else. If all goes as planned I'm getting an internship with them next year at spring training in Arizona. Wahoo.

[Renee]

For my birthday this year, my brother gave me a Red, Yellow(White?, Clear?), and Green Jell-o cup from an Italian deli with a blunt as a candle. I hate Jell-o.
it cums in handy!
HA HA HA!

[Bloodsucker II]

Wow, that's awesome. Good luck.

[swt_catastrophe]

my 21st birthday... about three weeks before, my best friend (of six years) is raving about this gift she got me. the day before my birthday, she says, "I just don't know what to get you for your birthday!" no present. i was a little sad.

[mickmadethelist]

i was probably 19 or 20

i wasn't aware that salmonella was a cake flavor :shrug:

[silvercyanide]

A few years ago my supposed 'best friend' who 'knew everything about me' got me bath salts, which I hate, and I'm allergic to. I despise cheap/stinky stuff.

[anthonydarko]

My grandmother has a bad habit of giving me sweaters I never wear ever year for Christmas.

[Bloodsucker II]

i wasn't aware that salmonella was a cake flavor :shrug:

:lol:

[heyhey1212]

a vacuum, NEVER give a woman a vacuum

[cupcakeomg]

well i didn't get any bad gifts really, but i had a really bad birthday expierence. aha

for my 12th birthday my parents acted as if they had forgotten. no cake, no presents and they didn't even say happy birthday until i said you know, its my birthday.
so as i was going to bed they called me downstairs. when i got there they started sining happy birthday and had a big birthday cake. then they gave me my presents (which were pretty awesome at the time).
i felt so dumb though because just before i got home i was at my friends house bawling my eyes out because i thought my parents had forgotten my birthday :/

[songydarko]

Used to exchange Christmas gifts with friends and once I got my friend some gift card to a nice restaurant or something. She ended up giving me an ugly ass tie dyed scarf. Food > ugly scarves.

[Chancetobe]

I once received, and I am serious, tuna fish and leaves.

[miketheauthor]

These gifts are making me laugh so hard haha

[makeshiftmind]

Another Quebecer, yay, but I can't believe your parents did that to you, especially when you were only twelve.
The worst presents I get come from my grandmother, she throws a bunch of random objects she finds in her house (like a pretty napkin, some old lady perfume, little baggies to put things in etc.) into a nice little gift bag with twenty dollars. At least she's trying.

[phil19]

my mates missus shitbag of a kid made me what i was told was the "best present ever". it was a picture of a rectangle with a face in it and was supposedely supposed to be me. shittest present ever

[.invisible ink.]

last year i made the mistake of getting my best friend a $250 purple iPod (which she never even uses) thinking that if she had an awesome new iPod in her favorite color she would really appreciate it and use it all the time. For my birthday this year she got me an 1/8 of weed and a nightlight with a seashell on it.

This year she's getting jack shit from me.

[KingJohn_654]

My dad gave me herpes. Worst gift ever.

[Mandee, darling]

my grandma gave me and my sister a "rainbow in my room" for christmas. all it is is weird shaped piece of plastic that's supposed to reflect light off of what looks like aluminum or another sort of metal and project it about five inches away. mine didn't even work, but at least she got me something.

[drawndead]
