Just for fun... Worst Gift

SingleMom31 · June 2013

I saw my parents yesterday, and they shared what my little brother did for his girlfriend's 30th.

I guess that she's been bugging him to go to the dentist lately since he hasn't been in a while. So, instead of buying her a birthday present, he took the money and made himself a dentist appt. And then got her a nice card telling her that's what he did. I guess that she was a bit mad.

Btw, it wasn't a money thing... He could have done both.

So that got me thinking... Worst gift you've gotten? I'm bored pumping, so trying to pass the time.

Haha your brother was a bit of a jerk!

When I was a kid my mom wanted to crotchet and asked if I wanted to learn with her. I said no thanks. For Christmas she got me a crotchet set. I acted appreciative and thanked her. She said "Are you sure you want it? Because I'll take it if you don't!" She basically bought it for herself lol.

For my birthday last year, DH asked what I wanted and I gave him a few ideas (one of which was free). Instead of any of them, he got me a t-shirt that would've been too small even if I hadn't been pregnant. We went over to his parents' house and they surprised me by coming out singing with a candle in the last piece of his dad's birthday cake from 2 days before. It was (double) chocolate, which I hate, but I had to eat it to be polite. They meant well.

DH has an aunt/uncle who he NEVER sees. We invited them to our wedding, and didn't expect them to show... but of course they did! When we opened gifts the next day, we found their gift, and it was a glass picture frame that had a quote on one side (and you slide a picture into the other side). The quote said something like "Congratulations on your marriage, Love L** & B***."

Now I understand the thought behind it... But if we NEVER see you in the first place, why on earth would we put up a picture frame in our home that has your names on it? I don't even put up things that have my own name on it lol

Years ago, my ex-boyfriends mother got me a Tiffany style light up cat for Christmas. Seriously. I would have thought she didn't like me or something, but she bought the dog version for her other son's girlfriend. I think she actually thought they were cute!

I was young, in love- my first serious love/real relationship in college. Things were starting to go downhill but when I opened my birthday present, it was clear he had checked out of the relationship- a pen, a fake flower in a pot...the pen was a "nice" pen I guess. But honestly, a pen?! It was just crap he pulled off the shelf at Target. The flower thing actually went nice with my room, but not a gift you want or expect from your boyfriend. Salt in the wound- he had also gotten me the dvd How To Lose a Guy in Ten Days(it was a new movie then, but still...). Message received? Nope, we tried to make it work for a few more months. For Christmas he gave me a DVD player. His dad worked for a WalMart like store, had gotten it for free, they didn't want it, so genius took it and gave it to me for xmas and flat out told me how he got it. Free from his dad's work. Thanks honey, lol. We broke up soon after.

This wasn't mine, but I remember going to a birthday party of this guy, I didn't know very well, but my friend had a crush on him.

We were at his house, and I was looking over birthday gifts he'd gotten. His girlfriend had gotten him this huge framed picture of herself. Not them together, but just her.

Thought that was so vain.
