The worst gift I've ever received was more or less the same one, year after year for a couple of decades.
My dear mother-in-law's favorite color was yellow, a soft buttery yellow. Every Christmas she gave me a new outfit, a skirt, sweater, and sometimes scarf in her favorite color...yellow. Believe me, I was deeply appreciative of the gift, because I loved her.
If, however, there is one color that looks ghastly on me, that color would be yellow. I mean, it looks corpse-like with my pale skin tone. Year after year after year. My pretty new outfit in *sigh* yellow.
I would always return the clothes and choose something I would really use. The sad part of it was that everything would be on sale after Christmas so I would receive much less in cash or store credit than my MIL had originally spent.
She's been gone for some years now. I miss her...but I don't miss those yellow clothes.
