One Christmas I unwrapped the paper to be presented with an electric kettle in a box. Thought it was a strange present, put it in the attic. Not long after, my kettle blew up. Went and got the box out of the attic. Opened it - was presented with a pile of wrapped presents that had just been stuck in the box! My sister once had an iron for her birthday - that didn't go down well! 
Any more contenders? |

My ex husband bought me a set of pyrex dishes, and an electric tyre pump for the car. I'm really glad he spread this excitement as the main presents over 2 occasions - I really was a lucky lady |

When I was about 12 there was a big box under the tree from my grandmother.
Was it a Scalextric, a model railway or some other amazing toy???
Was it heck..... Pajamas, dressing gown, pants, socks and vests...
Apparently the look of pure disgust on my face as I said thank you was a picture....
I may have been ungrateful but I was polite... lol |

Hang on I got the same pressie, not cooper laced, but a trailer full of split logs. Didnt know they where coming & had to stack them ourselves. That pissed me off but had to be appreciative to the gifter! |

A Christmas gift from my mum.. A dress 2 sizes too small - I don't wear dresses as my bum is massive. The best part was being told 3 weeks ago by my brother that she found it in the street.. Someone has dropped it obviously!  |

That is worth having!
Actually, remembering correctly, it was treated pine cones, not logs And they barely lasted 5 minutes |

"My ex gave me a large box of tampax....24 smaller boxes of 12 tampax. He said it was a money saver for me for the rest of the year"
Did they fall off the back of a lorry or something ? I think that wins so far. |

My niece gave me a crappy card which was so thin like paper it wouldn't stand up.
Every year I gave her a quality present. That year I had bought her a set of French designer cutlery as she'd just got a new kitchen.
It was also my birthday and didn't even get a card for it.
Her boyfriend, though, had the nerve to ask why he hadn't got a prezzie. My response was to say I decided to get him the same as he had got me.
What was worse was that they were guests in my home for Christmas dinner, booze provided. They c didn't even turn up with a bottle and took a load of left overs home with them after getting my daughter to give them a lift as they didn't want to pay for a taxi.
At the time they had no children and both were working. |

A 'friend' gave me a piece of fence post that had been very roughly chopped into an objet d'art - meaning the piece had been chopped into 4 or 5 shorter lengths. The splinter it have me meant it was more fitting as something to warm a cold winters night. No longer friends in any form. |

Ha can beat the lot of you. My nan had 12 grandchildren when i was 13. She used to spend all year collecting prezzies so everyone had more than one each.
This one year i ended up with ONE of her very own slippers for a present.( i think the Sherry had a small part in it)My cousin ended up with the other one |

A figure hugging red dress from my husband and a hold me in panty girdle and bra set from his mum. My husband hated me wearing red so I'm assuming it was on sale |
