My MIL bought me the pants I always wear for xmas last year. They're all lace thongs from Victoria's Secret and they're pretty skimpy. I thought it was a wee bit weird tooOne year at Christmas from the inlaws I got this really nice looking cardigan, then when I looked at it closely it was a maternity one. I wasn't pregnant. She also bought me knickers another year, we'd been living with them inbetween house moves so presumably she'd seen mine weren't in the best condition but no DIL wants their MIL to pick out their pants for them! They were all high leg ones too which I never wear (but she does)...had a lovely conversation with the woman on the refunds desk at M&S about it
that is, hands down, the most bizarre gift? I bought myself one and it’s no picnic to use (I still haven’t managed to get the damn thing up there) so I can’t imagine why you’d get someone one as a gift unless they’d asked for it.My sister bought me a menstrual cup a few years ago. Never used it. I'm sure they're great but not for me.
Me too! from the in-laws on more than one occasionI was regifted a gift I’d bought someone before
Mine was from an in-law too or will we say outlawMe too! from the in-laws on more than one occasionButmaybe it's my fault because I also didn't want it
Many years ago my grandparents bought a car cleaning set for my Grandad's brother in law, it had a to and from section on the packaging which they filled in. Grandad received it back the next Christmas still with thier writing on (to A..... from C.... & A..) Grandad was C.... !!I was regifted a gift I’d bought someone before
Your last line has me in stitchesThis thread is gold!
My in-laws are also the wost, thankfully they dislike me so much they totally refuse to gift to me, I feel blessed having read this. It pees me off they cannot be bothered to send my OH even a card, there his bloody family but make such a fuss of getting each other the biggest card they can find.
We now have very little to do with them, but thats a whole other story.
I think the wost gift i was ever given was a leaving gift from a short contract i did, i wasn't expecting anything, i felt bad because it came from such a lovely lady she was quite eccentric, but it was a green god awful old lad style mini handbag which was clearly from a charty shop (or her own) i had been used and smelt of old lady, she told me it was for when i whent outI still appreciate the thought. I stuck it the back of my wardrobe and found it years later still smelling of old lady. I couldn't even bring my self to charity shop it.
Reminds me of when I was part of an office Secret Santa and one poor woman received a box of coffee pods even though she doesn't own a coffee machineI once received orange inflatable slippers and when I opened the box there was only one slipper in it
