Most disappointing gift as a child was when a relative gave me a present which was wrapped with lovely shiny paper and tied with a bow . I opened it and it was one of those <£1 Cadbury selection things.....

As an adult I don't bother wrapping edible gifts , I just put them in a gift bag.

At work we did Secret Santa, but where one person unwraps a random present and they can either stick or swap for one that’s alredy open.

A colleague ended up with a hot plate with stains on it 🤢

We do this as well and my favorite part is stealing from someone who clearly doesnt want to part with their gift.

I love that secret Santa game. Me and my husband were the last names to be pulled out so we got to pick from all of the gifts 😂😂

Worst and weirdest present ever from a friend one Christmas was a voodoo doll kit. Needless to say, I never used it.

Worst “gift” from dirty Santa/secret Santa was a head of cabbage. I was told the “real” present would be given later.. it’s been 29 years. Still nothing lol!

Not expecting or wanted anything from my friend of 35years from family trouble. But when I handed over cards and presents for kids last week and went to annual Christmas dance show her kids dance class last night looks like I'm not even getting a card.

My worst presents were

A secret Santa - I got used make up brushes. I don’t even wear makeup

A reverse crucifix from an aunt. Guessing she thought it was just jewellery

I remember working in a popular high street chain over ten years ago and we used to sell these 😅😅 we always thought it was odd

I don't know if I've posted this before but I have a notoriously tight relative who buys all their Xmas gifts from charity shops (I love a charity shop but this is not out of necessity as they're rather well off) anyway one year I got a grubby pre loved cool bag, when I opened it the lining was ripped...and 'fixed' with plasters 🤢.

Maybe I'm to kind but I don't think I've ever received a gift that I was unhappy with! I literally appreciate anything 😄

Well one of my presents under the tree is a glittery gift bag which sounds suspiciously empty. Watch it be a scratch card. I really wanted one thing I kept asking for and I just know this bellend hasn't got me it. 🥀
