In response to: Would love to hear from you all on this subject.
I won a prize here in UK for the worst gift that I received.
It was a wedding present of a TIN OF BEANS, mind the prize was almost as bad it was a MUG from a Radio Station. Tell us all what did you get that left you gobsmacked.

Thankyou for reply. Sisters in Law are wonderful! Some of them seem to buy gifts that rub you up the wrong way. I would not like a gift like that either, but hey ho just return it to her on her birthday and perhaps she will be happy with it. Its not the worst I have ever heard but as you say it does just turn the knife slightly. My sister in law gave me a book on menopause. All well and dandy, 'cept it was for my...

dreamAngel70: bright pink tights for christmas gift!
Angel why are you complaining about beautiful Pink Tights with your lovely blonde complection sure they would look a treat on you! I personally would not know what to do with them maybe keep them in the car in case the fan belt went down on a rainy night. Ah better still a trick for shinning your shoes roll them in a ball and they give a great shine after polish hey hey result. 
I was 16. when i got them!

Angel perhaps you looked younger than your years. It could have happened, so look back on it as a compliment!

cheap and nasty perfume, beautifully wrapped so I had high expectations when opening it and from a man who should have known better...cheapskate....

My friend collects elephants an idea growing here! A gift that leave you just looking and wondering is definitely a gobsmacking one! Consider the time and effort that it took to choose this gift for you, and the possible thought behind it. Not to your taste, or indeed many that I know but maybe its a collectors piece or will be if you keep it long enough! Result!!!!!Thankyou!

Ahhhhhhhhhhh that is a Bite Me! There is nothing worse that expectation and knowing from the feel of the package that it could be the most wonderful designer perfume, to find the rotter has likely bought it at the market for a couple of quid. Disappointment strikes and I honestly feel your pain in this gift. thankyou and better luck next time.

Haha!! Yeah he is history now....think he bought it in Paddys Market..(Glasgow) lol!! I wouldnt even use it as a room spray...I will stick to buying my own in future
A white shirt for my birthday 
when I work in a resturant I wasn't exactly the cleanest and after spilling everything on my crisp white shirt the lads decided enough was enough and bought me an extra large babies bib....
Just to show I didn't care I wore it to work for about a month until my boss took it back and gave me a gift voucher for a shoe store instead/.... LOL

I am sure you will not have to buy your own. Perhaps he did not have enough cash to go the whole hog for the perfume that you really wanted, should we give the benefit of the doubt to him? Or shall we be shallow and down him for it? I do not know the answer to that question. Believe me we all have suffered this type of gift and you cannot even pass it on. Good one thankyou!
Fallingman: A white shirt for my birthday
Sad and disappointed at your white shirt! Boo hooo! Why you did not like it? Perhaps not hip enough for you, good point! They do come quite useful though for funerals etc., not that I wish you have to attend one. So a small space in the drawer for it and you never know you may be glad of it one day. Thankyou 
No he was loaded......just shows what he thought of me
miserable Scot!!.... did I just say that??

Ok confirmed that we should get hold of this man and put him in a sack tie it tightly and just drop him out of the United airline going to Atlanta just in the middle of the Atlantic. Job done. Thankyou.miserable Scot!!.... did I just say that??

Awe thanks Kid I do try to keep a good out look on this kind of thing.... Could have been worse they could have sacked me..
I used to tell the customers when they asked about the bib that the boss wouldn't pay for a kitchen porter so I had to lick the plates clean so I need the bib to keep my shirt clean...
