The gifts are opened and of all the costly (well semi-costly) things my son got, he has picked a favorite. A whoopie cushion that cost less than a dollar. He has been sitting on it all morning and doesn't appear to be tiring of it any time soon.

Christmas specials on T.V. are being interrupted by the continuous sound of flatulence. Yay for the worst gift ideas ever!

What are some of the worst gifts you have ever received or given?

Lol! I got an Amiga 500 and a scooter in 1990, and within an hour I'd managed to run over the Amiga with the scooter...

Christmas aye?
I was realy grumpy about getting a strechable rubber hand ball hand with 50 fingers on it.
It was pretty immature of me to do that.

Given would be William Hung Music CD to my sister last year.
She didn't like his music(i think) but it was a joke gift so ...................

Last year's gift disaster involved involved a super-squishy pillow in a box. A knife was used to get the tape off only it punctured the pillow. I'm still finding those little white beads from inside everywhere.

Those boobahs are highly annoying. I don't blame the poor girl. I have an obsessive compulsive disorder of pushing the button on anything that makes a sound in the toy aisles. Imagine 20 or so boobahs going off. I fled.

Socks. Every year. They should not count as christmas presents.











New socks is an excellent feeling, though. They make my feet feel smoooooth...

LOL. Noisy presents are always a mistake. :) My parents got me an effects pedal, and I've been playing distorted guitar all day. My playing's not bad, but I've kinda been playing death metal for hours on end... ;)

Hey, I got new socks this year, and they're great. They're super-warm while not too thick. And I always get cold feet, so they're amazing.

While socks are always needed, they aren't exactly creative presents. I agree. Still, I do appreciate nice warm, fluffy socks.

Up to a point I can handle socks. But, my worst ever present was technicolor knee socks with toes. Ew:rolleyes: !

Kickass! I know a few people who would love them, myself included! What sort of technicolour are we talking here?

I would hate them: they would show what strange things my feet are - only four out of five of my toes on each foot ever touch the ground, the other pair just hitch a ride on top of my big toes.

I will be 75 years old and still doing that. Everyone will walk into the aisle to see some crazy old lady just cackling.
