A spin off from my iPod thread....Sara got a CAN OPENER from her MIL for Christmas. Yikes!

Post your worst gift, doesn't have to be from the ILs!
 
It's an automated can opener... one of the ones that you put on the can and push a button and it opens the can for you.. which yes, is kind of cool.. but still.. it's a can opener. LOL
 
I swear...I swear this is no lie. A bottle of Wind Song perfume with a garage sale sticker still on the bottle.
 
My grandparents gave me coat hangers 2 years ago.

ETA: my ILs actually give really good gifts. They are the ones who gave me my iPod.
 
hmmm my mil got me a ceramic frog from the dollar tree one year. Then she got me some pajamas that were like a size XXL. I know Im not tiny but I am 5ft 5 and at the time weighed 150 pounds. I was not an XXL. Maybe a large because I like my pjs really baggy. My mother gave me one of those portable walkman radios that only has a radio in it that she got for free on a casino boat for christmas. Another year my husband bought me a set of those click lights you used to see on tv all the time. You know the ones you were supposed to stick to a cabinet wall and when it is dark you click them on and they run on batteries. Oh gosh I can go on and on because I have received so many awful gifts LOL. Im one of those ones who even if I dont spend a ton on something I ALWAYS stress over what the absolute perfect gift is for each person I buy for. Dont get me wrong I know it is the thought that counts but sometimes it doesnt seem like some people put a whole lot of THOUGHT into it LOL
 
A Housecoat from my MIL... you know, floor length velour robe that zips all the way up to your chin, it has a lacy collar and applique flowers all over it. Immediately after opening it, I thought of my grandmother, because that's all she ever wore around the house! LOL!

I'd LOVE a can opener like that. I have to {gasp} open my cans with a manual can opener. Some days Joel has to open the cans because I'm not strong enough. :(
 
My MIL gave me a subscription to the local newspaper. The problem was, I didn't live in the town the paper was for.

Sounds like my ex-step mother in law.

Good grief.

One year she gave me a planner - that had stuff already written in it. NOT KIDDING.
 
Fun thread!

Um a blue towel with pom poms and some sort of cartoony thing on the outside. So "cute" ;) I can't even regift it unless I use it for a white-elephant exchange, lol.
 
My friend likes to tell the story of how her MIL gave her a jar of pickles as a birthday/christmas gift one year (cause her bday is on Christmas Eve). LOL!
 
This was given to me by my previous ILs (you might understand why my ex husband was not a match made in heaven)

This was pretty much it. I don't drink beer. I don't wear hats much. I don't understand what said, "this is Julie!" about this can hat thing. :blink:

I hope their current daughter in law is now loving their gifts as much as I did. LOL :p
 
LOL My sister in law gave me some skimpy lingerie in size xs (I am NOT that small) with princess naughty all written all over it LOL. Totally ackward!
 
how about my passive aggressive grandparents in law giving my 1.5 year old a box of mac and cheese and a pair of girlie leopard print socks for Christmas one year while all the other kids got train sets and computers and those robo dogs...

my poor baby :*(

SHUT UP!!!! what the hell...i'm pissed.
 
Holy goodness some of you have some seriously whack ILs.

I've had a few really tacky gifts, but nothing that is storyworthy for the long haul thank goodness.

oh that makes me mad too, Traci! You can't do that to kids! Please tell us that she reformed and has made up for it.

Nope, now they passive aggressively just don't talk to us. :thumbdown: which is actually :thumbup: cause I can't stand them. LOL
 
This isn't me, but my husband's grandma gave my 14-year-old BIL the best birthday card I've ever seen. It had a dog in a very suggestive pose holding a present over his...bits...on the cover. On the inside it said "Nice package."

When I saw it I laughed so hard I cried. What a card for a grandma to give her teenage grandson! I know she didn't realize what it meant, but it wasn't because she was naive. I don't this she even read the card (she's not the most caring or involved grandparent). I think she just thought, "Dog. Present. Sounds good."
