Xmas gift "poll"/confessions?
C'mon- someone or someone's LO must have got something that was a total WTF from some relative... Let's share.

Re: Xmas gift "poll"/confessions?
DH's aunt is Nat's godmother. She was SOOO excited to give Nat her gift she made me come peek in the gift bag before present time. It's a florescent pinky/orange-y cheetah snowsuit. I think animal prints are super tacky on little girls and this one takes the cake. It's awful. Just awful.
Oh and she wrapped it with a black faux fur hat and mittens. Gah!
First... Telyco WOW!
Greyson got a Nerf dart thing from my uncle. It is marked for ages 5-7 or something like that. My uncle thankfully forgot to give it to him when we were opening gifts so we opened it when uncle wasn't around. We all (mom, dad, DH) stared in confusion.
I haven't seen it since he opened it.
OMG, Brianna got 25, yes TWENTY-FIVE pairs of little girl underwear for x-mas and all the same size! 21 pairs were all from the same person. And it wasn't like she just started PTing and needed 25 pairs, she has been wearing underwear since last spring!
I also got the ugliest red and green, but not Christmas, bedspread from the xmas tree shop. It looks like something you would find old and dusty in some old persons' camp they haven't used in 20 yrs. Interestingly, a 20something person gave it to me.
I hear re-gift!
OMG you win, you win hands down! Hahah! That's awesome
haha...and here's the thing...I NEVER wear patterns or prints or ANYTHING even remotely close to this. Every single piece of clothing I own is a solid. I think I wore a striped shirt a couple of months ago, but that's it
We have had this problem in the past. Last yr Ty got a science book set/reader that was very obviously marked on the packaging for ages 12+ Like anatomy type books! Apparently they thought a three yr old needed to learn how the human reproduction system works.

and you kept a straight face while opening this? you are my hero- I would have been unable to hide my reaction
i guess mine would be the new york yankees waffle maker from my brother- umm ok?
M got a cute hat from my cousin, grey fleece with a yellow mohawk.. unfortunatley it won't fit him till he's in highschool
We honestly didn't get anything THAT bad this year. Usually DH's aunts send some pretty awful gifts.. but even they did OK.
Although my parents really kind of dropped the ball on a gift for DH.. they labeled all of our gifts for both of us.. but they were.. Tickets to Les Mis and a les mis cd.. (he will come with me but he's totally NOT excited about it), our explore and more membership, which is really for the kids, and the Glee Christmas CD!
We just did gifts with my SIL and her FI this morning.. She got me a few things that are NMS, but not awful.. a nylon scarf thingy, a little tiny purse, and an umbrella... and some clothes for the girls that are a little ununsual, and probably too big, but not terrible..

Ok, now I feel like crap because I have this shirt and love it. Hehe...just kidding! This is pretty bad. I would have loved to see the fake "oh my gosh....thank you" acting you did when you received it.
Eh - I gave a better response to that than to the huge graphic/bloody crucifix we got the night before as a belated house warming gift. Plus, it had the gift receipt attached
This year was over the top. It usually is fine.
Well, I didn't get the license plate holder but Santa did put men's socks (that's what they look like anyway) in my stocking. Even Claire said, "Look! Daddy's socks!)
Claire got a Zhu Zhu pet which I am regifting at our White Elephant exchange on NYE.
But Telyco - YOU WIN! That is awful. Does the person who gave it to you realize that you're not 75?)
OMG! I thought Cs 4 foot monkey was bad.....
Telyco- who actually gave you that? Awesome.
My FIL and SMIL almost always cut the tags off of their gifts which makes me crazy. This year they gave me matching stuff from Landsend that is awesome and all had the tags on. Then I opened a red zip-up sweater vest that had no tags and seemed regifted. It was definitely a gift for someone 60+ IMO. I was so psyched about the other stuff that I am sure they could see the surprise on my face.
Everyone else did pretty well. I have one aunt who never knows how old the kids are and buys them super random sizes and this year she was dead-on. For example, at Mia's 1st birthday, she couldn't remember how old she was LOL.
