I know I’ve got enough shower gel and body spray from secret santas to pass down to several generations to come! What have you gotten that was absolutely thoughtless, weird, bad, or simply undelightful that took the jolly out of your holiday?

wait didn’t someone just ask this question?
I don’t understand why I get a calendar anymore. I know it’s because the new year is coming, but seriously. I have my phone, I have my computer with iCalendar. I really don’t need a calendar. I don’t know how to react anymore but smile and say thanks (and then never use it).
A crappy 24-piece puzzle that must have cost less than $1 after giving a nice thoughtful care package to my then-girlfriend….we were over a few days after that :-)
Oh boy where do I start. I’ll name just a few. A day planner from an ex boyfriend. 2 place mats for a table . ( not 4 but 2 !!!!!!!! ) from a different ex boyfriend. And from one of my. students this year, a decorative hook for the wall and fake gold jewelry, not like fake from Claires, but fake from bubble gum machine fake.
My grandma once sent me an empty pill dispenser from her medicines. She thought I’d like it because it made clicking noises :D I think I was about 11 or 12.
One year, I think I was 14, I asked for a guitar. Well my parents got me a toy guitar…...i think I cried.
oh that happened to me too! I really really really wanted a cordless phone for my room when I was 14. My wonderful parents found a water bottle in the shape of A phone and even went as far as getting a box of a cordless phone to put it in. I was so freaking excited when I was unwrapping it. Then so pissed off and sad to see what it actually was. They said they couldn’t afford the real thing.
Remember in the 80’s those Stetson gift set for men? Like there was a cologne, a comb, and some other stuff like 8–10 things in there. Well I received that one year from a friends mom who was a little off her rocker, bless her heart. Problem was the items were used, by her husband. She just packed ‘em all back up in the Steson gift box and gave them to me wrapped up in Christmas wrap with a to/from and a bow and everything. Sweet lady, but way off her melon.
i got this pair of pajamas that were the size of your average 7 year old when i was 15. i love extended families. psyche.
other than the millions of sweaters I got as a kid? Especially since I never wear warm clothes and always went around in a T-shirt in the middle of winter? Or the gold crosses from my godmother even when I was 25?
A particularly bad present I remember is a pencil case I got from my parents one year. I must have been really bad that year, because it was just a plastic one you can buy for $1 at a supermarket, you know, made in China. And it was black (plain). So I guess I got coal that year.
I always wear t-shirts in he winter, too because my parent blasts the heat.
