Worst Christmas gift you've recieved from a parent.

[apples and bananas]

Let's have some Friday afternoon fun.

What is the worst gift you've recieved from a parent?

Mine?

A candle and a box of homemade cookies that we had to throw out because they contained peanuts... my son has an allergy. And I'm pretty sure the candle was a re gift.

A gift card that expired before I was able to use it (even though it was only a few weeks after Christmas that I tried to use it). It turned out to be one of those gift cards stores give you for free if you spend a certain amount...those have expiries...I found out after saying to the store clerk "but I thought gift cards couldn't have expiry dates anymore!"

This did not happen to me but my sister in law... We have a family member that we always are so anxious to see what he gives us as it's always just so ...unbeleivably bad poor guy does'nt even realize it. So she got a USED and EMPTY christmas CD case ... Come on you did not bother even checking !!
I once got a tube calculator that folds and has a pen attached to it and I know for a fact he got it for free as a marketing tool from a company he deals with. The name and logo was on it as well as the matching ligther ( I do not smoke ) T'was funny

A box full of crayons and markers and playdo and puzzles and things for the children to use. All that was missing was the receipt so that I could use it as a deduction for my taxes, yeeesh! If this Mom wanted to give gifts to all the kids that's great but she forgot about her HDCP. Oh well.

I laughed my socks off. Thats so bad its funny lolol dumbass haha

I know! But to be fair, they actually gave me another gift card as well that was a real gift card...I think maybe they had been given that too...but that's okay. I think they put that in the card and felt it was too small so through the other "gift card" in too LOL They are really great people though, so no hard feelings...it was just really funny!

I hope you displayed it front and center in your living room.

My mother gives the worst gifts - love her to pieces but she does not know me at all

Daycare wise had to be the year I got diagnosed as Celiac ... I was still in centre care then and had missed so much work with testing to find out why i was sick and than all the slip ups trying to go gluten free and absence from work they caused there is no way anyone with EARS could not have known and my one family got me a big ass gift basket of those Britsh cookies and imported biscuits and crap ... it was expensive too so really frustrating to think "gee if you knew me at all I could have had 3 pedicures for the cost of that thing I than had to give away to the basket to Food Bank so they could break it up at least for some treats for those who have none.

These are hilarious!! I have only experienced one Xmas with daycare parents so far and last year was great! one gave me a Starbucks gift basket with coffee and mugs, and jammies for my kids, another gave me a $50 gc to the Keg and the other gave me a beautiful wreath! Wish I had some hilarious ones to share, maybe ill be lucky this year!!
