Ok, so we all got at least one bad gift, right? I have to be honest. This year I was hoping to get a REALLY bad one. My bunco group is having a white elephant exchange in January and I'd love to show up with something awful. But my worst gift was a pair of pajamas that make me look about 50 pounds heavier. What was my husband thinking? I'm guessing he was thinking how hot the salesgirl at Victoria's Secret was, since he bought half the store for me.
But that's ok because while my husband was nodding yes to the hot salesgirl, my brother was busy picking out the grand poobah of this year's bad gifts and writing my husband's name on it.
After unwrapping the pretty paper, my husband held up what he thought was a Mountain Dew logo t-shirt. Odd, since he's not a Mountain Dew buff, but ok. On a closer look however, it's not a true logo. The shirt reads MOUNT AND DO me.
My brother, whose kids aren't old enough to read yet, thought that was just hilarious. Meanwhile, I was busy distracting my son, who is old enough to read, while my husband stuffed his prize back into the box. Granted, this does not top the joke my siblings played on me last year when I opened several gifts only to find they were all either pasties or nipple tassles. One pair was edible. Yes, my family is warped, but we laugh a lot.
What was your worst gift???

LOL, oh Wendi, your family isn't that warped!! It's all in good fun.
My son who's 12 1/2 pulled a prank on my honey.
They're always teasing each other about who cute that pink t-shirt or fluffy pink slippers would look on each other.
Between us girls...it's like having two kids walking through the store, LOL. But it's loads of fun!!
So back to the story. My son 'encouraged' me to help him pick out a PINK bra and panty set, with pink fluffy slippers to give honey on Christmas Eve in front of HIS family.
Now you have to understand...Honey's Family is notorious for prank pulling, so they had a great laugh, took pictures and made jokes all night.
I'm not to sure about the nighty that makes you look like you put on 50 lbs. Maybe he wanted you to be comfy?
Too funny, C! Our families would probably get along well. :)

The used Peter Heater I got at MY white Elephant gift exchange!
Anything ordered from the television ads that one "can't buy in stores." The worst gift I ever got was a re-gifted knock off "handy-dandy food chopper," that didn't chop worth a darn, and was a pain in the rear to clean.
Yes, AJ, I'm pretty sure NOBODY's going to top that one! LOL!
Ooooh, cerebralwriter, a food chopper that doesn't chop worth a darn definitely ranks up there. I guess it could have been a clapper or a tub of oxyclean. LOL!
Thanks for sharing!

The worst gift I ever got was a set of very skimpy red velour "Mrs. Claus" type lingerie. It had a tiny bikini top and a miniscule skirt, and it was trimmed in white feathers.
Why was it bad?
My boyfriend's mom (now mother-in-law) gave it to me! I believe I was 19 or 20 at the time. Talk about embarrassing. My face must have been tomato red. And of course, she insisted on pictures of me holding the outfit up.
Oh, Cassandra, I feel your pain. When I was about that same age my boyfriend's mom always gave me lingerie for my birthday and Christmas. He would say "go Mom!" and I would nearly die. Rest assured, my son's girlfriends will not get lingerie from me!

That is hilarious Wendi! We have a standing joke not to open presents from grandma if they are long and penis shaped. One year she sent my mother a massager and we still laugh about it. My mother turned so red and about died!
Love those family gatherings.

LOL! I love your grandma, Kissa! My grandmother actually crocheted those peter heaters like the one AJ got. Only she called hers Willy Warmers. I kid you not!

I love naughty gifts at family events. I remember being about 10 when my family decided to initiate my stepdad into the family. My mom got him this thong thing with a pony face on it and she called it the bologna pony. I had no clue at the time but I remember the gift. Then 2 years ago my stepdad and mom got my husband of 10 years a fuzzy pink one eyed monster! He about croaked- my DH is reserved and serious most of the time and well, my family is not!
OMG, that's hilarious!
