Aloha?
From Maggie in Australia: My son’s granny-in-law gave him this outfit for Christmas. She tried hard; he’s a bass player in a heavy-metal band and lives in a beach house, hence the Hawaiian/ukelele theme. Excellent choice, Betty!
Scented Drawer Liners
Scented drawer liners! Finally! My life is complete! -from Steve
Decorative Ring Holder
From Jess:
Now you might ask yourself what this god awful knickknack is. It’s a decorative shoe… that you put your rings in. See the cushioned slots on the shoe? It could be a useful idea, if the shoe wasn’t so damn butt ugly that I wanted to throw it through a window.
It would only match my room if I lived in a strip club. It sat in my cupboard for three years, and now it’s time to purge!...
Stuffed Cat
From Susan: My mother-in-law brought back this cat(?) from China for my son. This thing has a zipper on the bottom which, when opened, reveals the stuffing which can be easily pulled out as was demonstrated by my three year old daughter. My son is three MONTHS old. I’ve hidden this thing in my night stand drawer to be brought out and displayed (on a high shelf) when she comes to visit.
Faceless Figurine
“ From Darcy: kill it with fire! my future mother in law gave me this figurine… it has no face!!!!
DIY Cheese Kit
From Carrie: Got this for Christmas. I buy my cheese in a brick for about $5/lb. Lucky me I dont have to do that anymore now that I have an $18 bag of DIY Make Your Own Cheese! One gallon of milk, a couple hours of my life I will never get back and I too can have some Queso Blanco! Thanks baby bro for giving me a chore for Christmas (p.s. I am lactose intolerant).
Seriously Disgusting
From Diane:
kangaroo testicles bottle opener???? really??? does the gifter know me AT ALL???

Worst Wedding Gift Of All Time
From Lobster Stanley: When my wife and I got married, my millionaire cousin gave us these books as a gift. And to think this is the same guy with whom I shared a room, whose half of the bills I paid a few times, the same guy who borrowed $300 bucks from me back in ‘98 and it took me 2 years to get it all back, mostly from his mother.
Every 9 Year Old Girl's Dream
From Kelly: These items were given to my 9 year old daughter by a classmate at her party. The array includes 2 soy candles, a bottle of maple syrup, a necklace (used) a bell (also used and dirty) and what I think is some type of lady bug hanger thing. kinda weak to regift to a 9 year old!!
Mooooooo
From Brandi: As soon as I saw this website, I knew I had to upload this. It is a gift my parents received at their housewarming party. It is a flower pot in the shape of a cow, with scales on the face, a leaf for a tail, and dog paws. My parents kept it to avoid hurting anyone’s feelings, but this horrible thing creeps us all out.
Why?
From Tiptop: I just got a bust of a HORSES HEAD. Worst gift of all time. That is all.

From Jodi: This is a christmas gift from my best friend. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to be used for, but it’s currently holding my tampons.
Victorian Socks
From Kelly My mother-in-law bought my sister-in-law and me these victorian looking socks as part of our christmas. (Note the lace at the top of the socks.) My sister-in-law is 20 and I’m 30! Really! At least we got DVDs and a game too. It’s the thought, right?

Floral Bag
From Anna: This was a Christmas gift from my mother-in-law. The entire purse is made from very cheap ployester. I think she secretly hates me.
Light-Up Horse
From Jen: I got this from my (then) boss for Christmas in 2006. It’s a lamp made out of nylon pulled over a wire frame. My brother took the regular bulb out and put in a flame bulb just to be funny….but I think we really should have set it on fire.

Dinosaur Plant
From Kani: A guy I had been dating for like 2 weeks called me all excited and he was like: “babe, I got you something awesome today, I’m on my way over to give it to you.” Like any girl I was a bit excited, I hoped it was like a cd of some new artist he wanted me to listen to or something.
