Let's have some fun; what is the crappiest gift you have received and/or given out to someone.
Received:
When I was younger and we we much poorer, one year for Christmas I received a bike. Now your thinking thats a cool thing; but wait. The reason it was crappy was that over a year later I found out mum couldn't afford it, so My Brother stole it, My father re-painted it and then I got it from mum as a gift. Being a to-honest person I freaked out at this news and I was horrified.
And the traditional yearly supply of underwear That mum always seems to think you need around Christmas
Given:
A funny one actually; I was like 12 I guess and I did all my shopping at the same time and brought my step-dad a nice new expensive razor; not realizing at the time (dumb ass at the time I was) that he has a beard and has never shaved it in the whole fifteen years that he has been in our lives.

I dont celebrate christmas, but this is a fun thread. RECEIVED : As a kid, even though we never celebrated, my mom always made an effort to buy us gifts (coz coming from a British school she didnt want me to feel left out, since all the other kids got stuff!). My mom is so sweet! She used to buy me Comic Annuals (I know its not really an American thing, but in the UK, you get Year End Comic Books, like thick hard back ones!) I used to get them a lot and really enjoyed them! One of our neighbours also used to be really sweet and used to give presents to all the kids in the neighborhood. They were a sweet old British couple....i was too young to remember what they gave but just as a kid, receiving anything is the coolest thing ever! Ummm, just realised this was a CRAPPIEST gift thread, NOT BEST gift received! Well in terms of crappy gifts....ummm, not really sure, coz I only got gifts as a kid! Not anymore, so all my memories are good ones! GIVEN : Well im such a bad present giver.....ok, everyone re-gives gifts they dont like, so thats probbably the worst gifts i give out, like second hand ones! I give really crap birthday gifts, but thats another thread altogether! Im sorry i dont have a lot of christmas memories,,,,,but as a kid, we celebrated it mostly in skool not at home. Santa Claus would always 'come' to our skool and hand out presents! It was fun! and we always looked forward to that time of the year! How i wish i was a kid again!
