The worst gifts you have been given for Christmas!

We asked our Facebook family what the worst gift they have ever been given for Christmas was.

Here are our favourite answers: 

1) Hubby got me a wood splitter..his birthday was a week later so I wrapped him up a packet of sanitary pads... (Elizabeth) 

2) My aunt was given a frozen chicken for Christmas by her Mother in Law! ( Sue) 

3) A pair of black and green stripped speedos that were too big ( Eric) 

4) A used razor (WTF?)  did it still have pubes in it?  (Meghan)

5) A meat thermometer… I was vegan! (Danielle)

6) A bottle of coconut detox one year, and a hypnosis for weight loss dvd another. Both from my twin sister! ( Rebecca) 

7) Mariah Carey CD ( Sam)

8)  Vein away Cream (Ros) 

9) Bath bombs….. I don’t have a bath!!  (Trudie)

10) Box of $1 tissues from the MIL!! ( is she trying to send you a message? Jenny)

11) My ex husband for our first Christmas got me an iron and ironing board.....one of the many reasons he is my ex (Charlie) 

12) Gave a friend $100 to take my children shopping for me at David Jones with a few hints of what to get. Call me ungrateful if you must, but I was unimpressed to receive a $99 toaster for my birthday then a $1 gift for Christmas which was so much more appealing ! (Jo)

13) A size 20 satin nightie when I was a size 10. I could’ve camped out in the tacky, sweaty thing. (Helen)

14) A USED pedicure set. Yes, used and put back in the box! (EWWW- Georgina)

15)  Cask of Port when I was 29 weeks pregnant from my FIL (Kate) 

16)  Genital Herpes and ongoing depression.  (nice gift!) (anonymous)

I'm sure you have lots more examples - let us know in comments ...

My brother’s birthday and mine are the 29/12 and 31/12- so every year we have a competition as to who can give the other the crapest present. Some have been- scratched scratchies (all losing ones of course), a tin full it a years worth of toe nail clippings, a roll of toilet paper with Donald Trumps face on each sheet, a personalised made postage stamp with my face on it (only one and only to value of 45 cents), a 3 month old newspaper etc etc

Hubby hand made 4 small wooden boxes: one for his mother, one for his sister, one for me and one for… his girlfriend. He is now ex-hubby.
