One year a guy I was dating gave me a big expensive Craftsman tool kit. The kind with ratchets and wrenches and screw drivers and all kinds of stuff that I didn't know what to do with. He said he thought I might want to learn to work on my car myself. He was wrong. I still have it and I have never used it. It's a really nice set though.

Every year at Christmas I get gifts from my clients, You know the normal stuff Money, checks,candles, candy, lots of candy but the thing I get from one lady every year is she makes this fruit cake. I do not know any one that likes fruit cake but I am sure there are people as they sell it at the store. Well at least they have it there so I assume someone buys it...... Well this year this woman brought me in two of them and I kept trying to regift them to any one that came in the shop no takers, Then Ricky the young man that works for me said, Are you going to eat the fruit cakes, I said no and I can't find any one that will , and he told me that his Mother loves it.... I said to him take them to her and Merry Christmas. I share a lot of my gifts with my employees, there is just so much stuff, but I did get a bottle of Bailey's the new Chocolate Mint flavor and that I am not sharing........

I ask my boyfriend for a tool set this year as I own my house and it seems like I never have the right tool to fix things. He was so excited to get to go shopping for a tool kit for me.

As if we weren't smart enough to realize that they got the expensive gifts, and we got the dollar gifts.

What my Grandma did was always buy me "extra" but bring it to me and told me I couldn't say a word to the others. Then I would have a regular gift to open with everyone else. My Grandma was such a joy I miss her so much, I took very good care of her towards the end. We had a special bond.

But your right why bother my mom's mother loves to regift so I will probably see the gift I gave her 2 years ago come back! hehe

yeah right.. Like I was going to IRON for him. Kinda as bad as the MEAT SLICER for my birthday so i could make his lunches for work easier

SIGHHHHHHHHHHHHH they do learn though if you keep them long enough. I only get diamonds now

The first Christmas I was with my hubby, he got me an iron "because we needed one". I promptly threw it at him and told him no appliances EVER (unless I specifically ask for one) and that "because we needed it" is not a reason to get ME a gift!!! He learned very quick and has been great ever since!!

OMG, Megan, I would have paid money to see the look on your face. You may not know this, but your Mom is cool! (Don't tell her I told you that!)

This year I said Nope I will donate to a good cause instead.

Cheap Bosses..... This reminds of my friend's old boss, every year he would open up a box of chocolates and another one of tea bags. He would walk around the office and give everyone one chocolate and one tea bag on the corner of their desk. Merry christmas to you too Mr. Scrooge

she gave me a painted wooden spoon.

I still to this day have NO idea what to do with it. I know it has no value by the MADE IN CHINA on the back lol - but it's WEIRD to give someone a painted wooden spoon - it's too small to hang and way too small to use as a decoration.

Her last years gift to me was a plastic candle holder.

Gee Thanks.

by the way.....both gifts are still in the bag I brought them home in

that's why she's rich!

Well, I have had a few.
My grandma bought me and my husband simpson slipper socks. We where both in our late twenties.

I am sure she got them at the flea market.

My hubands friend who weighs about four hundred pounds bought me thong underwear and told me he would custom fit them for me.

My favorite worst gift is for my first christmas as a married couple my husband bought me a clapper. Okay it was a joke but, it was really tacky.

Yes, I KNOW, "don't look a gift horse in the mouth..." But HONESTLY, did you ever get something that just made you say, "What in the world were they thinking?"

I gave one of "those" presents.... I was so very proud of myself 'cause I had found the PERFECT gift for my husband who has everything! At the time he worked for NCR (national cash register) --high level programmer. Anyway, he was fascinated with the old cash registers. I went into a candy making supply store and they had an antique cash register. In fact it was the cash register they were using for the store. And I bought it! Well, this wasn't one of the cute little trim cash registers, it was a humongous thing made of some kind of heavy metal..... It took TWO BIG grown men to load it into my mini-van and when I got it home it took our family friend HUGE man and a dolly to move it into our living room where it sat for two years-- cause it was too heavy to move.....

LOL I was so proud of myself for having found the cash register -- the look on Ron's face when he took the paper away was priceless. I had paid a WHOLE bunch of $$ for it and he was like....oh my.....

Years later, I think it wound up in the landfill.....
