I love hearing about the gifts that people receive that are totally useless to them.
I didn't get anything bad or useless this year as I got sheet set/towels and photos etc.. so all good things.
A friend of mine got given a Terminator DVD. She isn't in to movies and doesn't even own a dvd player for this reason..
Another friend got lots and lots of perfume and smelly things. She recently come out of an intensive hospital program as she has sever allergies to smelly things and perfume. No good to her at all.
Anyhoo, did you get anything useless or weird? Would love to hear about it.
I can't say that I got a useless gift, but rather, a full body massage mat, and the first thing that I thought was, I was going to "regift" it and give it to my mom, because I thought that she needs it a whole lot more than I do....
oohh, it was a sweet deal, but my mom is 78, so, age aches and pains, and I just instantly thought of her when I saw it. Not commiserating the loss, loving the giving!
I got a ceramic Christmas decoration from a co-worker that was "god-awful ugly" yet, I was appreciative as it was a gift meant from the heart. And yes....I'll set it out next year...
