I don't know if this counts but my husbands dad and step mom had their Christmas get together this past Saturday, I had to work and help my Mom with car trouble, so I sent the gifts with him. When I got home I asked him how everything went and he told me what they got him ($50 walmart gift card and a $50 gas card and some other things). I asked if they got me anything, he said "Yeah, but since you didn't come they gave it to someone else." Pretty much all his step mothers doing. Oh well at least I didn't have to be there lol

That is just mean. I can't believe that your husband didn't stand up for you
A guy I dated about ten years ago bought me a gift card to our local grocery store. Basically it was because he waited until Christmas eve to shop and was going to get groceries anyway...
When I was 3 I went to a Catholic preschool. I bought what I thought were these amazing key chains from the Holiday Boutique. They were blue, silver, and all kinds of sparkly. Years later I noticed my grandfather had a star of david keychain on his keys. I asked where it came from he said "ummm you bought if for me" Whoops!
Worst gift I ever received was cooking lessons from an Ex BF. I scrimped and saved to buy him a nice blue ray player that he wanted. (When they first came out they were expensive) When he went to his room to get my present I was all excited because I didn't see anything. I figured it was jewelry. I saw an envelope coming my way. I figured vacation, day at the spa. Nope cooking lessons. Valued at $30.00 Really?
I have a few. 1)My great aunt gave us socks EVERY year when I was little. They were the super itchy, pastel, tube-socks with non skid rubber stuff on the bottom.
2) My aunt once very thoughtfully knitted me a scarf and hat for my upcoming trip to Europe. The problem was the trip was in JULY, she said she wasn't sure if that meant it would be winter over there.
3) When I was a teen I had horrible acne and one year my grandmother have me some kind of cream called Zit Zap. That was the only thing she had gotten me. I was very depressed about that one!
Colloidal silver minerals and a fireplace DVD in the same gift bag by my grandmother who accidentally packaged them in a Christmas gift bag to give to my mother and then gave it to our gift exchange by mistake.
It became a HUGE joke in my family after that and got passed around for about six years. When my grandmother died, it went into her casket. So even at her funeral, we were all giggling through our tears.

So thankfully not my gift, but DH's uncle gave my BIL a "gag" gift this morning...it was a naked aerobics video that he mentioned he had already watched! He is the king of making social situations awkward but this was over the top, even for him.
His step moms is a B**** and I seen it coming. I really don't want him to say anything at this point, karma will get her(it's an on going thing and her and I have had words before). Trust me, the best present was not having to be there.
I have a few more to add to the pile: 1) my sister was given a pink scarf with fur on one side and sequins on the other along with a pair of Juicy Couture gloves with yellow gold chains on them this year - not her style at all. 2) We do a $25 sibling gift exchage on DH's side. One year his Sister and her husband got our names, so they bought us each a small bag of candy and a $50 gift cert to go out for dinner. He got the candy and I got the gift cert. He was pretty pissed until I explained it in the car later. Not a crappy gift, but still funny.
I was 2 months pregnant with my 1st child 7 years ago. I was married for almost 2 years. My in-laws gave my husband and I an Aldi gift certificate, and a Baby Names For Dummies book. I was beyond pissed. I still have no relationship with them 7 years later.
My younger sister (19) whom I have a rough relationship with got me a really pretty cardigan...from a thrift shop...a size too big...with a hole in the side. I'm usually a small to a medium. She is usually a medium to a large. She got me a large. I don't care if it came from the thrift shop but I can't exchange it for one the right size and in tact. Thankfully I will only get bigger and my mom believes she can fix it.

I think it's the worst show ever conceived by man. Ah, well, she tried and remembered something about me, lol. I sold it for a pretty penny later.

Enough said. Lol.
Haha couldn't agree more. She knows I'm pregnant too. Said 'something for after'
Still rude. Luckily I can laugh off this random rude drama
