The Ugliest Socks Of All Time
From Diana: I’m now the proud owner of the ugliest socks in the history of humankind. Yes, they have cherries and butterflies sewn onto them. That would make it SO easy to get a shoe on, don’t you think?

Cat Organizer
From dark-october-night:
This is what my Grandma bought me for Christmas this year. It’s supposed to be a desk organizer. I mean, I LOVE cats, but I’m pretty sure this is what nightmares are made of.
Not to mention I’m 23 yrs old and this does not go with any thing I own. This is just one of many strange things my Grandmother has given to me as gifts.
Nothing Says "Merry Christmas" Like BOXED MUFFIN...
From MetroMan: “I got you this because you liked it when you visited back in July.” In July?! That was 5 months ago and I don’t even remember eating it! Thanks for getting me two boxes and scotch taping them together, though.

Dishrag (With Its Own Holder!)
From J: What we have here is a lovely dish rag given to me by someone in my office. The rag is accented with a colorful appliqué rectangle depicting scenes from the world almanac (which happens to be sewn over the words “Bon Appetit”, a fork, knife, wineglass and some curly lines which can be seen from the back of the towel as they are stitched in like the writing on a baseball cap). This dish...
Cheech Head
From Adriana: this is what we got from my brother in law….I think it’s Cheech Marin, the hat can be removed and the head is hollow….possibly a storage area for one’s “stash”, too ugly to regift!
Gold Elephants
From Dubious:
Not just one, but two shimmery gold-painted ceramic elephants. Hollow, like the heart that conjures such dignities as beauty, and complete with “made in China” sticker to boot.
I know not what possesses some people to purchase obscenities such as this as gifts for others. My mother received these pieces of rubbish as “payment” for providing the service of a one-hour nutritional...
Awful Arts & Crafts
From lydia: Not only is this little gem that I recieved from a family friend creepy and cheap, it also says “Christopher 1998” on the back. it’s 2010 and nobody in our family is named Christopher or anything near it. Beats me.

Cat Butt Magnet Set
From Sarah: My aunt just gave this to me for Christmas. It’s a CAT BUTT MAGNET SET. I’m not even kidding. Yes, I have a cat. But that doesn’t mean I want to stare at a bunch of cat ass on my refrigerator every day. The funniest part is that the package says its for “true cat lovers.” More like, it’s for total weirdos. HATE IT!

Meercats Statue
From candysfamily: My husband just unwrapped this stunning resin creation, Meercats. From his mum. We have no idea why. Really why? And we will have to keep it, because she will ask us where we put it if it is not seen on display. Why give us shit she’d never have in her home?

Is That A Dog Toy?!
From Alexandra: I received this as a Christmas Present from my grandfather. Not only is it hideous, but it lights up. I’m in highschool. What am I supposed to do with this. It’s definitely the thought that counts with this one…
Portugal Peen
From Dinorelien: A friend of mine bought me “this” in a monastery in Portugal.

An Apple A Day...
From Kim:
A friend of mine thought it was a good idea to get me an apple in a bag…I do not see the logic in this and I don’t like apples anyway!

Diet Book
From Marina: My stepmother is food obsessed and loves horrible diet trends. Apparently she would like to pass on this lovely idea to me. The book recommends chewing your smoothies to make them go down easier. I do not want to drink something I have to chew…

WatchFrom Mary: My aunt bought me this stuffed bear as a Christmas present 2 years ago. I was 22. Not only is it a stuffed bear. Not only is it wearing a flower and a frilly hat. It also sings “What a Wonderful World” and bobs it’s head, not in time to the music. Seriously??? My mom loved it and proceeded to make it sing every chance she got.

Hideous Paperweight
From alexfigge: This is a present my mom got from one of her students… It appears to be a pyramid paper weight with a sea anemone/ donut topped with a flower with a pearl in the middle. What the heck?! Who makes this stuff?? My dad has been hiding the paper weight in odd places ever since my mom got it… in the middle of our Christmas village, in the cabinets next to our...

Meow
From Criffy: This is a cat mousepad given to me by a friend. It is a photograph of her cat. I don’t like cats!

Framed Photo Of David Hasselhoff
From Alison: Are you ready for the most random gift of all time? My coworker just gave me a FRAMED PHOTO OF DAVID HASSELHOFF. With puppies. WTF?!?!?! I’ve never mentioned him once. I had to google how to spell his last name. Who would want this, other than his mother? I can’t even reuse the frame, because that’s ugly too! Worst gift I have ever gotten!!!

Leg Lamp
From Ashley: My mother bought this as a Christmas present for my 5 year old son. He has never seen the movie A Christmas Story so I don’t know why she thought this would make a great night-light for his bathroom. She takes it out of the drawer and plugs it back in every time she comes over. We know that she only buys gifts that are on clearance but this is just ridiculous!

Sucker Bear?
From Linda: I get some “interesting” gifts as an elementary school teacher (think “stuff parents had laying around the house and needed to get rid of”). This is one of the funnier ones from this holiday season. It’s a tacky, ugly little stuffed animal bear with about 7 Jolly Rancher candies glued to it. I made the mistake of trying to take a candy off to eat it....

Passive-Aggressive Gift From Mother-In-Law
From Astrid:
Your (admittedly overweight) son-in-law turns 40 and your desire for family disharmony is dissatisfied? OK. Buy him bathroom scales. Not mean enough? Add a pack of his favorite sweets. Still not mean enough? What’s his nickname for your daughter? OK, buy him bathroom scales with a cartoon that includes the nickname.
Voila.
The FAT GUY on this nice example of insultung bathroom...

Fish Vase
From Lynn:
For sale: Fish vase; original price: 14.99
I’m a 30-year-old female. I don’t fish, but even if I did, I wouldn’t want a fish vase. I received this from my husband’s aunt. Ugliest. Christmas. Gift. Ever. She was at our house this fall and asked us where the vase was. Umm…

WTF Frog Purse
From Lori: Worst gift I ever got was this creepy frog bag. It actually unzips along the back and I guess you’re actually supposed to use it as a purse. I don’t know if it is a real frog that’s been hollowed out or what the hell it is, but it’s disgusting! Why would I want to unzip a frog’s asshole to get my cell phone out? I hate this thing!

One Of The Worst Gifts We've Ever Seen
From Brianne: This is what I received from my Oma for Christmas last year. A fly swatter with a home-made cover that says ‘don’t bug me’. On top of that, she spelt my name wrong on the gift tag.

Random Bobble Head
From K: It’s a bobble head of Coach Giorgis, who coaches Marist College’s women’s basketball. I don’t go to Marist, I don’t watch women’s basketball, I don’t play basketball, and I don’t own any other bobbleheads.

Another Hideous Doll
From Mona: I saw the doll someone submitted to this website a few days ago, and knew I had to share the awful doll I received as a “present” last month for my birthday. It is half baby, half wooly mammoth! And why does it have a soul patch on its chin? And why is it playing a makeshift guitar? And why does it have pig ears? Sadly, I have more questions than answers. All I know is I DO...

"Dolls To Love And Cherish"
From Amy: Dolls to “love” and “cherish”? More like “dolls to set on fire or hide in the back of your closet.” Have you ever, in your lifetime, seen such a hideous doll? It looks like something out of a horror movie. This was the worst gift I’ve ever gotten in my lifetime. Thanks, Grandma!

Eagle Head Stapler?!
From Daniel: Today is my birthday and my office mate actually just gave me a stapler. But not just any stapler… a stapler shaped like an EAGLE’S BEAK. What in the name of holy hell is a grown ass man supposed to do with this? I’m going to throw it off the roof and see if it flies.

Thanks, Stepmom
From Jeff: This was a gift from my stepmom. I am a 22 year old guy and have never shown any interest in mickey mouse. She appearantly spent $22.50 on it too, I would have much prefered the cash. I sometimes think her gifts are a bit passive aggressive. (She also has put Brett Farve stickers on my things when I left them in their house, I do not like football or stickers..)

Disposable Urinal?!
From Erin: “I can see how this might come in handy, someday, somewhere. But someone literally just wrapped this up and put a bow on it and gave it to me. Really? This isn’t gift-worthy! It’s something you pick up on a whim at the dollar store!”
