What are the worst presents you've received?

[Scorpihoe]

Someone bought me multivitamins for my birthday. Antioxidants, marine collagen and some other ones. I wouldn’t mind especially because I’m not close to this person so I’m happy to even get a gift…

until they texted me asking me if i wanted to subscribe to a monthly delivery and to use their referral code

When I was 19 I passed my driving test early December. That Christmas I received de-icer and some jump leads

They came in handy for sure. But as a 19 year old all I wanted was alcohol, perfume and makeup.

I have to say as someone who drinks on special occasions alcohol is one of my worst presents and I seem to get a couple of bottles every year.

Secret Santa from a boss of 5 years lip gloss, I don't wear makeup.

My daughters birthday is Christmas Eve, she's only 5, so, so far her presents from family are separate but I can imagine as she gets older they'll get tighter and double gift her. Especially tight arse MIL .

I always get given bottles of gin. I don't drink and I don't like gin anyway . I have a cupboard full that I palm off to others on their birthdays or if I'm meeting up with friends I bring a bottle and purposefully leave it at their houses! So looking forward to this thread blowing up

I was most offended to get a heated dryer one year. Turns out it was the best thing going.

My birthday is on 22nd December but luckily, my parents always made an effort to get me separate presents (and NOT wrap birthday presents in Xmas paper which is a big pet peeve of mine!)

A neighbour started pottery classes.
She made me a garden ornament. For christmas.
It looks like a turd. If it wasn't dark id take a photo of it in my front garden. I originally placed it under a shrub but she moved it to prime position. I leave there as its a talking point.

Not for Christmas but once I got a bird chime and garden gnome I live in an upstairs flat with no garden and I’m scared of birds

An ornamental tit

I was hoping it would get stepped on and broken but as it looks like poo, this hasnt happened so 3 years later its still there, pride of place.
I cant get rid if it as i know she'd make me another.

Knickers. Every year my mum gives me a pair of granny knickers. Mind you, at least they're black now (used to be "nude" or whatever that ugly flesh tone is called) but they're so frumpy.

I wish I was joking when I say this, but my husbands aunt got me an emergency foil blanket for Christmas one year… “Oh, this will be handy”

Springy thing - "walks" downstairs, or at least attempts to
