I was once given a clock in the shape of a large watch for the kitchen wall which I wouldn't ever have used. Another year one of those 20s style ladies which are used to store rings and bracelets on, hate those things.
I really dislike anything with that bloody irritating Keep Calm and ..... logo. If I receive anything with that on I shall ram it up their backside, I really dislike it  |

"My ex once spent £80 to transfer me a World Of Warcraft character... As a non-gamer, it didn't go down too well, lol.
And then he paid another £80 to take it back when we split up!

Do the carp and lobster harmonise on the same song? |

Lol, I wouldn't expect him to spend that much anyway but without being funny, for £120 he could've bought me a really nice bracelet, or, y'know, something I'd actually LIKE! -.-' x |

Over the rainbow, under the bridge |
A cheap sickly pink acrylic scarf and glove set which was clearly an unwanted gift rewrapped for me after I had given a set of expensive designer cutlery.
The next year nothing, not even a card, when I had bought some lovely wine glasses they needed.
I expect the same this year and I've bought them two carriage style garden lights. They have a lot of barbeques so I know they will use them. |

When it's the thought that counts it is galling when there isn't even any thought. |

My sister, bless her, she gives the worst ever gifts! She can't seem to figure out that the gift should reflect the tastes of the reciever - not the giver!
She once gave me a picture of kittens, remember those awful embossed pictures? it even had metallic eyes that shined if the light caught it. lol!

"I once gave my mum a radio controlled car.
How old were you? Did she play with it?"
I was about 34, couldn't think of what to buy her and I was certain she didn't have an RC car.
I was right too! |

So you add another crap present to an ever growing pile?
Two of my aunts used to send each other the same birthday card. Their birthdays were just a month apart and it went back and forth between them for 15 years. Now that one of them is dead I do wonder if another of the sisters is getting the card instead. |

"Ex mil bought me a 6 pack of diet once. Cheeky bitch!!! "
Some of my mothers dementia bought presents were a bit like that. One year she gave my sister an open pack of Christmas cards. She'd wrapped it and labelled it and I still think she probably spent days searching for the box of cards. |

LOL it was the Cod that sang that as I was given it once too.
From being aged about 8 until I was 18, my Aunt used to send me a new toothbrush each Xmas, something to do with her working in a chemist....

"My daughter's MIL gave her a set of scales for checking her weight, just two months after my daughter had given birth to her grandson. "
It could have been to monitor the weight of the baby. Ok, I'm being generous.  |
