I've done that,, BUT~ I've been on the receiving end also..made someone something and went to their yard sale and saw it for sale!! It was this calligraphy poem I wrote ( copied) in a frame with these dried flowers hot glue gunned on it... it was effort.. and I thought it was pretty cool.. then,,not really now, but in their yard sale! HOW DARE THEY!! LOL Hope they at least sold it,, would be really bad if nobody wanted it!

ha

Did you happen to see how much they'd priced it? Hate to think I'd MADE someone something and they thought it was only worth a quarter....worse....worth a quarter AND didn't sell...

The best was Dollar....

The worst was a box of fake apples (four of them) I mean ncie jesture, but what the heck am i supposed to do with them?

My 90 year old Great Grandmother gives out the funniest things on Christmas. This year, she came bearing used computer paper, an old jar, calendars, an old keychain, rolls of pennies, and oh so many more valuable gifts! LOL. The family pretends to get real excited when she asks if anyone needs what she is offering.
However, grandma is also the giver of the BEST Christmas "gifts", EVER. Every Christmas all 30 family members are on the receiving ends of well, quite a lot of money! I never have a problem finding a use for that! Gotta love grandma!

I love this thread!!! You all are SO funny!!!! Another good thread would be, I think, a thread about Yard Sale finds and stories....I personally love them and have bought some FABULOUS things at them and even resold some when I was selling on ebay for big bucks

rrosenberry · 12-27-2005, 03:56 PM

Here ya go.. Villette this one is for you.. Took me awhile to find it,,but it's worth it,, I think it will go to the garage sale box from here... He He.. It's not as horrible as I remembered, but,,, Like I'd ever use it,, can't seem to find the matching wallet,, someone must have stole it,,HA!!

MeganS · 12-27-2005, 04:00 PM

OK the best is EASY! This past April all I wanted was a puppy. Instead of just going out and buying me whatever my parents gave me a "yes" so that I could go with them and we could pick one out together. I got Bandit

As for the worst, I don't have one yet!

LOL !!! That is CUTE !! But I do see what you mean about it being a little too cute - I actually like it ....It had a matching wallet ? hahaha - now that is pushing it a little

vainchick5...hahahaha - A Mervyns card with NO money on it ?

and that poncho sounds too hilarious ...

Funny .....I'm just wishing I could see expressions of you guys when you got these really GREAT gifts

Kind of like me with my spoon...I had to swallow a bunch of times before I could speak without laughing last Christmas...then had to ask what exactly is it and what did it do ?

Hey~ it can easily go in the mail to your house, as to the garage sale box!! Just say the word and it's yours!

troubletb · 12-27-2005, 04:14 PM

Ok, I have been sitting here reading all these posts and trying to remember my worst presents!!?? Here are a few a meat tenderizer, a black shirt with a white giraffe on the back with its head popping over the shoulder, and this year a crappy candle (probably 1/2 off from the dollar store) with some great squashed chocolate candy...For those of you remember that I'm not getting along with the lady who works across the hall from me, well the candle and chocolate was from her!! I thought when you hit your 50'2-60's you were mature, not immature!! LOL Now for the best present, I'm not really sure as its always clothes that I get for christmas, I usually get the good presents for my birthday and our anniversary.
