Ignoring socks and underpants.

Thinking back, mine was an AC/DC album from my auntie and uncle in the early 80's, was gold and had a cannon on the front.
I think I played 30 seconds of the first track a few times before it got chucked into the "never play again" pile.

Maybe it's why I have such a dislike for AC/DC and their turgid brand of crap daddy rock :D
 
Last year I received a Next T-Shirt that was horrendous, it was just a tragic piece of clothing.

My Great Aunt but it for me whom I haven't seen in about 4/5 years as she lives the opposite end of the country.

Just to add to how bad the t-shirt was, it was 2 sizes too small :D

Appreciate the gesture, but it was horrendous :whoo:
 
Not me, but my dad once got a pack of table tennis balls from his mother/father-in-law, and we didn't have a table tennis table or even play table tennis! Still a running joke now, some 30 odd years on.
 
Part A of an encyclopaedic set.

When i was 12! My sister also got a years diary for her bday a few years later. Her bday In June and it was for that year so half was redundant!
 
I got some of these a couple of years ago!
I just can't think why I've not used them yet..............

In joint first place... a thick GREEN (Blurg) jumper. I hate jumpers and hate green from an ex MI and a electric toothbrush from the current misses not a joke apparently she meant well. I got her back for this the following year a got her a salad spinner!
 
Black shirt from my sister with a silver pin stripe through it. It lived in my wardrobe until I gifted it to a charity shop.
Sister also got me some retro house phone once. That lives in the draw under my bed until I gift it to a charity shop - I am confident she received it as a present before giving it to me (looks something like the one below from memory but I've never actually taken it out of the box - anyone want it free of charge?)

have to be mid 80, i was very fashion contentious at the time and in an Indie band;)

my aunt gave me the horribilest Christmas jumper ever, green and grey with green leather patches over the front....

had to wear it at the table for Christmas dinner, scared for life.
 
"Girlfriend meeting me at the station coming home from work on Christmas Eve. Walked back to her place, got home, she took her coat off and was totally starkers underneath. No need for unwrapping!!!"

When my wife heard about this story and decided a couple of years ago to do the same. Yugh.......
 
In my youth we lived on a Country estate and the Owners companion was responsible for buying the children's Xmas presents for the Staff party and we were asked what we wanted. Going on 14 I asked for Cluedo but received Ludo.......

Bit harsh, ok its not your cup of tea, not mine either now but back in the day that album did include some decent tracks especially the first one. It wasn't daddy rock back then, it was pretty mainstream, edgy even. If that's your worst present ever I think you're doing ok!:smirk:

When I was about 11 and into Adam and the Ants etc I got given an Elvis LP called Flaming Star, underwhelmed was putting it mildy.:angry:

H'mm! There's all sorts of timing issues involved with those 2 statements that could be 'interesting'! :rolleyes: :whistle: :rofl:

..the "golfers gift pack" from anywhere like Marks & Sparks etc. 3 rubbish golf balls, a ball marker and 3 random plastic tees!

Useless tat... but IT is the thought that counts!

It is sooo difficult to be authentically grateful for such a present. But as you say - you must look being what it is to the thought that went behind the giving of it.
