Worst--a moldy used book and an opened package (taped shut again) of peppermint candies. And that was not meant to be a gag gift, either.

Wow. What'd that person get from you the next year? :lol:

 

I was thinking of a Chia pet or a used crockpot in 70's avocado green, but since it was for my mother, Jimbo, who is far more objective about her than I am, nixed that idea. :)

I have no idea what I'm getting; probably some dvds and/or Irish rugby or football jersey or something. My wife and I wanted Aran sweaters for each other, but we really should've bought them before winter. Damn things are about three times as expensive now...

 

Worst gift? Hmm...probably some butt-ugly shirt given by my mother that I never ended up wearing. From 1973 onwards, my mother completely abandoned all clues as to what her offspring would wear. She and my dad went on holiday in Italy a few years back, and she gave me a t-shirt with huge warthog's head glowering directly out at you and the words "Il Ivo in Toscana" (he lives in Tuscany) above the head in loud white letters. Why she was under the impression this would make a good souvenir, I haven't the foggiest idea.

 

Her best effort so far for my daughter was a parody "Harry Potter" shirt; it said "Hairy Otter", and there was a picture of an otter with glasses and a wand. This of course never saw the light of day beyond the apartment. When my daughter first saw it, she looked like she was sucking a lemon.

All I want is a big ol' external hard drive.

Got one for my mom, although it'll be going with her to Kuwait, I now find that I wants one.

 

Worst gift: one year my parents actually stuffed my stocking with charcoal briquettes.

Your parents are almost bigger a******* than mine. The worst gift I've seen was not given to me but to my brother. A few years ago my Grandma gave up on trying to get me to heaven and started working on my brother, he ended up with this. Why yes Ryan the universe was made in six days, now shut up and drink your Kool-Aid.

You should have gotten her a gift certificate to a spa for an afternoon of pampering.
Somebodies attempting to be mature, you'd better have not let a girl (and I shiver with disgust when I say that word) into your life. That would explain alot.

 

EDIT: I'm taking the no response as confirmation, Jmac has become an ~snipped~. Keep it clean, everyone, and avoid the strong language. "Profanity is the crutch of an intellectual cripple." --Jae
