What was your least favourite gift for the holidays?
It was the 70s. I wasn't allowed to wear pants and pleaded with my mother for a pair. Well I got a pair of slacks alright... mint green and pink pastel plaid with matching 'Maude' style long vest. I cried and cried and cried knowing the humiliation and bullying I would receive once school resumed from the holiday break. |

Beach towels
 Only because a certain family member of mine decided for 5 years in a row to give me beach towels as a Christmas gift when I was a teenager

When I was a kid I was happy about almost anything even if I preferred toys over clothes. But when I was in my teens my mom for some reason never realized how much I had actually grown. She gave me clothes she thought fitted me but I could barely breathe in them...

Scarves and mittens. I get so many of them every Christmas that I've told my family a few years ago not to bother with giving me any gifts.

My Mom bought me clothes the one year for Christmas that were 5 sizes too big, all of them and not exaggerating and she wasn't joking, she thought that was my size. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, a little bit of both, and then grateful for the thought of thinking of me to get the gifts in the first place until I was sent to return them to ALL the different places that she got them, driving all over the place, a day and tank of gas later.

When I was about 12 my grandparents gave me a humongous snow globe. We are talking like 18 inches tall. All the other grand kids got gifts that suited them and I got that. I with my pre-teen emotions was devastated.

Hmmm? I'd have to say ALL the white, cotton underwear as a kid. My grandma was the guilty one! Sure my ex-husband tossed a bad gift in there somewhere but I cannot recall just now...LOL

Clothes. People seem to think I am average/large. I am petite. Others have bought me colors and styles I do not like. Please do not dress me like a teen or a old senior. I am neither. Just do not buy me clothes of any kind. I very much prefer to buy my own.

Never mind, I had nothing good to trade.  My least favorite gift continues to be fruitcake though. All these years telling my mom I hate it she still gives them to me. I think it's passive-aggressive on her part.

I had friends in my youth who always have awful gifts that look like something regifted. One keep giving me ziplock containers as birthday gifts, one gave cheap key ring every year. One gave like plastic forks. Embarrassing. I always gave them nice things. As an adult I asked one of them why that kept happening and she says everyone thought I was rich and didn't need anything. I was never ever rich at all

i just remembered a much worse present and i'm revoking my earlier post.
so my aunt is one of those people who buys presents based on what she likes, not the person she's buying for. one year she decides that my life would not be complete without a five foot tall cardboard cutout of johnny depp as the mad hatter in the ugly tim burton alice in wonderland. i don't think i'd even seen it at that point. but it made a great coat rack, i guess. and a waffle iron with it. what sixteen year old needs a waffle iron? |

A toaster from my ex-fiance. Maybe that's why he's my ex.

I was happy with whatever I got. honestly. Despite not being the wealthiest of families-despite the fact that every month something was being turned off because we hadn't been able to pay on time-my parents always made sure to have presents under the tree at Christmas.
And I like socks for Christmas. I could never understand why everyone seems to despise receiving them as gifts, yet are always complaining that their socks go missing. If you're socks have gone missing, should you not be glad if someone buys you a new pair, thus saving you a trip to some crowded clothing store? |
