Bad gifts thread

[ilovebed]

Please can I start this? This beauty just arrived. It's my Christmas gift from my Mom. And it's not a joke.

PDQ bc I haven't given notice to my job yet but I'm actually leaving my career as an attorney to star in a Blossom remake. It's going to be on the Lifetime Network. Six will be there. It's going to be awesome. And this hat will complete my iconic look.

^^ ilovebed - you win!

Thank god you didn't have to open it in front of her!

My SIL spent 20$ on toilet paper with Donald Trump's face on it ... And that's what I got stuck with in the white elephant exchange.

ilovebed, your expression says it all! LOL at Blossom!

[majick143]

That sucks! For the record I HATE white elephant gift exchanges. :/

I love that you couldn't keep a straight face while taking the picture. That's quite the hat

When you send your mom a thank you note let her know about your career change and stardom lol

It's got potential. Dye it. Ha.

I used to love unicorns when I was little so the first Christmas DH and I were together, my mom bought me a light up fiber optic unicorn. He teased me relentlessly. So much that I threw the damn thing in the dumpster when we got back to  the apartment and he went and dug it back out because he had developed a soft spot for the crazy woman. He has now learned the error of his ways.

It was this ya'll.

ILs got me this.



I don't crochet or do anything crafty remotely like this. They didn't even try to couch it as a funny present.

It reminded me of Britney & Justin's all denim outfits.

That was my first thought too.

I'm completely confused by that gift. Did you get anything else???

[aak0517]

jenniferl923 maybe you should learn to "fluffy crochet" them a little somethin' and give that to them as their gift next year and ask them to display your work of art on their mantle or coffee table. It'll be the gift that keeps on giving

[ilovebed]

Lol jenniferl923 I just noticed the little brush inside. For some reason that's what really got me about the strange gift. Hahaha. Why do you need a brush for the fluffy creature!?

[bimbi284]

I got a gift card to Abercrombie and Fitch....

[ilovebed]

Lol, just out of curiosity I just looked at A&F's website. They have some cute dresses! But man, I haven't shopped there in many moons.

Well I guess I should try and snag myself a Lyte Funkie One with my new A&F outfit! Sorry, H!

[bimbi284]

LOL!! I just got the background story from H. Apparently he sent a list of stores I like to my FIL via email, and on that list was anthropologie, but my FIL confused it with Abercrombie!!

They should like me as I've provided their only grandchildren. ::narrows eyes:: I've been around for like 15 years at this point.

I have so many questions myself.
