Worst Christmas Present Ever???

Well, my MIL is no longer with us, (and, at times, I really do miss her), but, believe me, she knew. It didn't matter. Her answer to everything was, "Well, the Bible says that you should "fill-in-the-blank" (i.e. eat meat, change your last name when you get married, have a church wedding even if you don't believe in any of that stuff, etc.). Really, she would have much rather we'd lived our life as hypocrites.
So, you see, that knife set was a VERY LOADED gift!!!! (It's the thought that counts, you know!!

Growing up, my great-grandma used to give my sisters and I ugly, used clothing! :7 She wasn't poor or anything, I often wondered where she found this stuff, probably the Goodwill.
She was somethin' else that woman, smoked like a chimney and died of natural causes at the ripe old age of 91.

DH has given me some wonderful, thoughtful presents over the years but he has an odd sense of humor, too. One year I had a favorite pair of shoes that I wore all the time. Somehow, I managed to lose one of the shoes. A few days before Christmas, DH found it and thought it would be funny to wrap it for me and stick it under the tree. I was very happy at first when I opened the gift and found my missing shoe but then I got mad at him for not telling me right away he found my shoe! }( Oh, and he swears up and down that he did not intentionally hide my shoe. That would have really ticked me off. . .
Another year he gave me a toilet for Christmas. When we remodeled our upstairs bathroom, DH bought the cheapest toilet he could find and it was constantly getting plugged up. I had the "magic touch" with the plunger so it always fell upon me to unplug the darn thing. I would mutter under my breath the whole time I was plunging and finally DH took the hint and bought a new toilet. I'm sure he gave it to me for Christmas just so he could tell a funny story to his buddies at work about how he gave me a toilet for Christmas. x(
He's lucky I'm a good sport - most of the time anyway.

One of my best friends in the world, whom I love to death, gave me the worst gift ever about 6 years ago.
It was a white goatskin lamp (with hair still attached), shaped like a pagoda, with a big black Japanese kanji on it.
It was unbelievably, heinously ugly.
Before I opened it, he said "I saw this and thought of you."
To this day, I wonder... what the *#$^! about that eyesore made him think of me?!?!?
