What is the most useless present you ever received?

i got a calender for Christmas.the calender was for that year.with 6 days left woohoo. :/

A giant, stuffed Peep.

one of my dad’s gag gifts. Neither of us enjoy real peeps and he apparently just couldn’t pass on such an absurd item. I laughed. I suppose it’s not actually the most useless as it’s kind of a pilow. I think it’s still somewhere in my parents’ house.

…..and what did you do with it?

Re-Gifting the smart solution….

The pastor at a church that I was associated with gave me a NICE sweater for Christmas one year .

I have NEVER worn a sweater in my life…. don’t like them .

I tried to take it back and the store would not accept it… so I stopped by the Goodwill and donated it .

Cheap clothing that ppl give me. I hate cheap things and everyone knows that so I don’t even know why they would buy it in the first place. I usually give it away

Neckties, I have so many of them, especially those Christmas ones, which are only good to wear for the Christmas season.

I got an University of Alabama sweatshirt. I hate Alabama. Go UT Vols! I let my dog sleep on it.

a pastel colored golf shirt 2 sizes too big that looked like something someone much older and into golf would wear

LOL! A friend at work gave me a purse because I didn’t have one. I’m really a “big bag” kind of purse woman, and the one she donated had all of these pockets and compartments and stuff. Totally not me! But, hey. It was free so I carried it for several months. Then I met my now-husband, and occasionally I would complain about this purse and the style, and explain that I was more of a “bag lady” kinda purse person. He kindly got me a new purse for Christmas. Almost identical to the one my friend from work had given me, pockets and compartments and all! Only it was brand new! Sigh. I carried it for a year. Made sure it had a much-shorter-than average life!

A Chicken Chucker… and I chucked chickens, of course.

@buster: Woot! Vols!!

@Spacemonkey – i thought i was the only one who received a calendar (supposedly late christmas gift) although i had 5 months left on mine lmao!

@Allie the question asked for useless gifts.

A huge box of Omaha steaks when we’re trying to cut out red meat and lower our cholesterol. We donated it to our local township office to give to a needy family. I think someone will really appreciate the treat. I guess it was useless to us .. but actually useful to someone after all.

A 3 tier sterling silver candy dish. I don’t entertain and my house is very casually decorated, so it wouldn’t have gone with the decor. I sold it in a yard sale for $5.00. I hope my brother is not on fluther.

My grandmother is really into puzzles, especially in the winter time when she can’t move around in her garden. So she bought me a puzzle. Designed in mind so you could fill it out with loving things having to do with your pet. (a paw print. a collar. a picture. etc.) we don’t own any pets. i think i threw the puzzle out and kept the box for film..

My sister in law gave us a giant, plastic, anatomically correct, replica of a human ear. To this day we have no idea what we are supposed to do with it. We let it hang over the mantle for a while (in case it was art) and once we filled the middle hole in the ear with nacho cheese and dipped tortilla chips in it (because we thought it was funny). After that I put it under the kitchen sink to catch a drip.

@gradyjones – lols! i wouldnt have a clue how to use one either – what a strange gift!

A paper weight. I put it in the garbage.

A rice cooker…I donated it to a Salvation Army store.

Actually, the most useless present I ever received was one of my favorites, a set of brass knuckles. It is useless as I don’t typically hit people and I think they are illegal in most states. But, if someone were to ever break into my house while I am here, their usefulness may speak louder than words . . .

@Kayak8 lols – remind me not to break into your house!!
