An ex paid £80 to transfer me a level 80 W.o.W character for my Birthday, despite the fact that I had made it very clear I fucking hated the game (and yes, I had given it a chance!) and had no intentions of wasting another second of my life on it.
He got arsey at me for not playing it and made out I was ungrateful. He then paid another £80 to take it back after we broke up.

As a gift from her youngest daughter, my mother-in-law has bought me the same cheap tacky ornament (skeleton hand holding a snow globe) two years in a row now and hasn't even noticed lol
Infact when I opened it at Christmas she was like "I saw this and I just knew I had to buy it for you as it's so your style and it's really unusual" I was like "thanks..." |

A china fox in a glass dome, with plastic foliage and a piece of rope wrapped round it. Given by a bf when I was in my early 20's. I opened it and thought WTF!
I reckon he forgot and got the first thing from the Argos catalogue in a mad rush. Unfortunately it fell and broke a few days afterwards!  |

A T shirt from my sister.
I hate it.
But she said "I thought you'd like this" when she gave me it and I didn't want to upset her.
It's been in my wardrobe for the last year unworn with the tags still on it. |

Give her one back and keep the other on display. Tell her you saw it and knew how much she liked it so you thought you should get her one too. |

The second £80 sounds like the best present.

Give it to a charity shop. You do like your t-shirts though so in a way it was a thoughtful gift. |

Only the one from my Father. As my sister said, we should document all the bizarre crap presents we have had from the parents over the years. |

The genuine intentions behind it are what I like more than anything but when you recieve a broken portable television as a teenager with no means to fix it spoke volumes to me. First time I uttered the word 'wanker'.

My mother in law always buys crap presents. The list includes.
A Parmesan cheese grater
A thing for putting pizzas on to bake in the oven
A chopping board
A sachet of washing powder that looked remarkably like a free sample that was handed out at a tube station a few months previously.
And the worst to date is a bag of hay. Not even a big bag.
I love her but she's bonkers. |

It is the thought that counts. Just some thoughts aren't worth having.  |

Your bag of hay beats the crap presents from my parents. Only just mind!
I've had the free samples given as a gift too.

Over the rainbow, under the bridge |
Bright fluorescent pink gloves and scarf set which had clearly been an unwanted present of their own as the packaging was dated and damaged. Looked like it had been sitting in the bottom of a cupboard for around 5 years. The gloves were too small (like a child'd almost). A bit galling when I had bought them a set of designer French cutlery.
This year I got a pair of cheap ASDA pyjamas from the same person. Nothing I would ever wear, an awful colour and the wrong size again. I had bought them an electric grill/mini oven for their new kitchen.
This year they get no more than £10 spent on them. Over the years I have spent a great deal on this particular family member and put a lot of thought into my gifts. What I receive back is usually tacky, with little thought put in. I'd rather a decent card with a nice message if they are a bit skint than be insulted. However, they aren't that skint when they can spend a fair bit on a new mobile for another family member. |

You should have led with the beige. That's just unforgivable.

The second £80 sounds like the best present.

If only it had been paid to me...
That £160 went to Blizzard. |

Do you drink diet ? If so then it's not a complete waste.
I thought women loved a six pack
Come to my party and let Hottie get her hands on a six pack.

I do now but back then I never did. It was my MIL. She obviously thought I needed it. "
A very long time ago my MIL to be told me that I must never gain any weight at all as her son would not like that. She said that as she piled apple crumble and cream into a bowl along with the rest of her force-feeding habits. |

The last Xmas before me & the ex split up, I wanted a Backgammon/Chess table. You can get them on ebay for around £40-50.
She bought me a kiddies compendium set, with snakes & ladders and ludo, that required tweezers to pick the pieces up
I gave it to her grandson |

My ex was restoring a car and bought some new bits for it. He got an air filter and a front grill, wrapped them up and gave them to me. I laughed to begin with coz I thought that he was messing around and had got me something nice and was just teasing me. I was wrong, he hadn't. But he thought he was the funniest guy this side of the Watford Gap. I got my own back....  |

I still have at least two wedding presents we were bought and hated and stashed on top of the wardrobe because we felt guilty about throwing them away.
I was married for 10 years and have been separated one and a half.... |

A pack of 3 stick on spotlights. From those creative folks over at JML (junk manufacturing limited).
But really the worst was a pendant. It wasn't my style at all and coming from someone who has known me almost all my life I was shocked she got it sooo wrong. |

"Couple of Xmas's ago I received a sponge and a flannel. Wouldn't have minded if they accompanied the usual toiletries you always get but that's all they got me. "
Was it a natural sponge? |
