so I have a confession that I almost got my only sister who I adore the most insensitive of gifts! She loves all things quirky and unusual and I foten get her gifts that are a load of little things all together because its what she likes. I went into a shop full of really fun and cool random gifts and picked out this really cute and cool handbag hairbrush that was painted really prettily- this would be amazing if she wasn't mid way through chemo and bald! oops!

OK, my mum bought me an umbrella for my 14th birthday. I was seriously unimpressed with that and mortified when my friends asked me what I got! However, the most truly godawful present I've ever received was from my MIL - a polyester satin kaftan printed with a hideous multi-coloured paisley design and with seams that were piped with gold lurex piping. I think even my husband was pretty shocked by that!!
And and my brother once bought me a cheap knock off huge bottle of Katie price perfume
it smelt like a cross between cat piss sugar and cheap sweets
same as hers really…

MiL gave me a half used box of cling film one xmas. In the past she's given me one pasta plate, a well used wok with the remains of the last meal in it, and easter egg at xmas after she's already eaten the contents. She has photo corner in her flat with all the family there except me.
My dad's narcissist girlfriend who he got with 5 minutes after my wonderful mum died of cancer gave me a book of photos of all the fun my kids have when they are with her.
Were the condoms for your Dad or for the 3rd world country?

Same. But these were pyjamas. Peach satin affair in a size 18. I too am a size 8. Gotta love a mother in lawA dressing gown from my mother-in-law one Christmas. In a size 20-22. I'm a size 6-8. Interestingly enough SHE'S a size 20-22 though.
Moral of the story, if you're going to regift, at least have the decency to pretend to give a tit
I’ve been pretty fortunate with presents generally but we did get a howler of a wedding gift. Two soft toy * rats* dressed as a bride and groom 
They went to the charity shop, they were really awful. It’s the thought that counts!

My mum bought me a maternity bra for my 13th birthday 
She also bought me a pack of hot cross buns (for an actual present) and said it was buy one get one free and I got the free one.
My great aunt gave me a used wooden spoon for christmas , but she didnt have very good eyesight so gawd knows what she thought she gave me.

My boyfriend is twice my age and the first Christmas that we were together, we were at his parents house. They got me a cuddly dog toy from Marks and Spencer’s which is clearly meant to be in a baby’s nursery or crib! I always took this as a sly little dig at the age gap rather than what they said to me as I opened it, which was “we thought it was really cute!”
