Mine was a shower cap I got when I was 13. I smiled, said thank you politely, then went to my room to try it on. It made me laugh so hard. In hindsight I guess it was a good gift after all if it made me laugh like a maniac. It could have been much worse though:
I think we've all been in that position, Becky:)
ReplyDeleteTrue. I've given a few bad gifts in my time :)
ReplyDeleteAh yes...the dreaded gifts from the aunt! I always got the great big tube socks with the stripes on them!
ReplyDeleteDan, I'll swap you those socks for my shower cap :D
ReplyDeleteAt least that kid gets a present for his birthday...sob.

ReplyDelete@Mark: I'm sure one day someone will buy you a truck load of grahic novels.
ReplyDelete@Kristjan: Thanks a lot.
Some gifts don't even make the re-gift grade!
ReplyDeletelol! i could see me doing this to husband face...when I was about 14 I got a red cardigan comlete with stitched snowmen, bells, holly and the like from my dad. I actually looked up at him to see if it was a joke...it wasn't.
ReplyDelete@Mark: I have a bag of re-gifts in my attic that I totally forgot about. Thanks for reminding me Mark. That's Christmas sorted this year.
ReplyDelete@Sarah: I never got a Christmas cardie. I don't think I'm missing out on anything :D
