“Snow” Globe from Hell

submitter — Fri, 12 Feb 2010 19:14:22 +0000

When I was in sixth grade, I became friends with a very socially challenged girl. For Christmas that year, she gave me something wrapped in wet newspaper that smelled, I kid you not, like horse manure. I wanted to wait to get home so I could dispose of it without hurting her feelings, but she insisted I open it in class. Inside was a mason jar filled with murky brown water, glitter, and one very dirty and decaying pinecone. Apparently, all of the dirt on the pinecone had leeched into the water as the jar sloshed in her backpack all day. The newspaper she had wrapped it in came, I can only assume, from the floor of her horse barn. I could hardly wait to get home so I could get rid of it. Needless to say, we didn’t hang out much after that…

A Pink 3 Year Old Tutu

submitter — Thu, 21 Jan 2010 23:04:35 +0000

My aunt gave me this 3 year old pink tutu with a matching pink headband for Christmas. See I’m 17 and very tall for a girl and the color I despise the most is pink. She and I didn’t get along this summer, and I know this was her revenge. I wear dark colors and have for 4 years everyone in my family knows that I hate pink and light colors. The tutu didn’t even fit. She gave the same kind of tutu to my tiny little 4 year old cousin and it fit her perfectly.

Slanket!

submitter — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 06:30:25 +0000

My older brother has never given me a thing in his life, besides some bruises. Never a birthday or Christmas present. So you’ll imagine my surprise when this year for Christmas he said he had something for me and knew I would love it. I open it.. a SLANKET? Like a Snuggie.. but not? We have lived in Southern California our whole lives, he knows it doesn’t even get cold here! Talk about regift at the next white elephant silly gift exchange…I guess it’s okay that he’s never gotten me anything before, saved me from pretending to love it!

Brief Safe

submitter — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 05:47:48 +0000

I got the Brief safe as a gift for my birthday. The brief safe is supposedly a security tool where you can place valuables in and since they appear to be heavily soiled no one in their right mind would look or dare touch. I thought it was a gag gift from my friend but I later found out from his wife that my friend actually purchased one for himself. LOL!

Nose Hair Trimmer

submitter — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 04:29:58 +0000

A couple of Xmas’s ago I received a nose hair trimmer from my brother. Receiving a nose hair trimmer is already a bad gift but receiving one that is a shaped like a finger makes it a really bad gift.

A Framed Picture of my Friend’s Dog

My friend gave me a framed picture of her dog for Christmas. And worst of all, Now I feel like I have to have this picture hanging up in my house in case she drops by. It’d be one thing if her dog was cute but he looks like……this! Worst Christmas present ever. lol

Used Broken Necklace

facebook fan — Fri, 01 Jan 2010 16:42:14 +0000

My really bad gift was from an aunt of my husband’s. We had drawn names and she had mine. She was never very nice to me for some reason but I was surprised to open my package to find an obviously used, and broken, used to be 3 strand bead and “pearl” necklace! I could almost feel the oil from her skin on it (you could… see the discoloration!) and it really grossed me out!

Autobiography of Jenna Jameson

facebook fan — Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:02:32 +0000

I got the Autobiography of Jenna Jameson from my best friend of 15 years. She said she got me the book because I like to read.Now, I don’t have anything against porn, but I have only seen one in my life-with no real plans to see another. I tried to explain it would be like giving her a jar of mayo for Christmas because… she likes to eat, but I don’t think she made the connection.lol!
