Well, not to be rude to my husband's father's wife or anything - but yesterday was my 23rd birthday and I got anti-aging cream from her. I was kind of offended!

Bar soap I can see as a bad gift, but like those gift baskets they put out during christmas time - I LOOOOOOOOVE those!

i think that the worse present you could ever get regardless of age is Socks and undies.

Hahaha - hey I get those every year for Christmas. Maybe that's why it could be classified as the worst present as socks and undies are so overrated.

dog - dog
Once an old friend stopped by for my birthday and he brought me a big frozen 58 cents beef bone wrapped in aluminum foil! When I saw it I said what's this for and he said it's for my birthday and I thought you would like it to give to that stray dog that's been coming around! He knew I was feeding the dog but come on? A damn 58 cent frozen beef bone for a birthday present?!! The nerve of that idiot!!! Now this guy had lots of money and he could have given me something nice, but NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! He gives ( ME ) a damn beef bone for a gift! He's so stupid, he really thought I'd love it cause I love animals! I'd love $20.00 better then I could buy the dog what ever it wanted! Well the dog enjoyed the bone and I got rid of my so called friend! I'm not sure which is worse, a beef bone or anti-aging cream!

LOL...I laughed at your response like crazy. I would have to say that's worse than anti-aging cream. But it's the though (?) Right (?) LOL. Well, I'm glad your dog got use out of it.

There was this one time that I got a Barbie watch from an aunt. It was horrible~

I guess it would depend on your age when she gave you the gift that would make it horrible. Thanks for the response.

LOL yeah, that's kinda offensive, but it's always best to start young using that stuff. When her birthday comes around, get her something that's really obvious, like orthopedic shoes or those special circulation socks. Sure you have time to come up with something creative.

Hahaha, I love your response. Thank you! My mom told me that it's not too young to start as well. I will definitely use it, it's just the thought like "does she think I look old" lol

Haha.. you should get her a thong.. one that is obviously too BIG or too SMALL.. lol. :o)

LOL...that's a good idea. She's rather skinny, so I think getting her a BIGGER one would be perfect!

A few years ago my grandma was having an off year I think. I got a shirt. And its sleeves were different lengths!!! One was a little above my wrist and the other was WAY to long. She also ended up getting my mother two left handed gloves.

Awww, poor grandma. Cute story though it brought a smile to my face. I can just see grandma trying to make the perfect gift and it becomes the not-so-perfect gift lol.
