Greetings, all [img]smile.gif[/img]

Let me set the scene... it's Christmas morning, and the whole family is over at your house to open presents. Parents, grandparents, in-laws, nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles... the works. You get down to one final gift to open, one with no nametag on it, but everyone says it's yours.

You open it and find... what?

I need to compile a list of horrendous Christmas gifts by tonight. I'm looking for ideas... what are the worst gifts you've ever gotten or could imagine getting?

Some thoughts to start...

A fruitcake-of-the-month club subscription
A six-pack of edible undies

What else could be there? Any thoughts?

Thanks!

A book of coupons to places you'll never go,like "Bob's house of pancakes and transmission repairs".


Interesting topic Bungleau, is there some special reason you need the list?

A knitted wooly jumper (sweater if your American) *shivers*

Karaoke DVDs.

Thanks for the suggestions [img]smile.gif[/img] I need them for a Toastmasters meeting tonight... I'm the topicmaster, which means I get to ask everyone a question and they have to respond in about a minute. It's quite challenging, but a lot of fun, too.

Any and all suggestions are welcome... pathetic gifts, things you wish you'd never see again, things that are too embarrassing to think about...

Fake-boobs you can drink beer out of.
A metal sigarette case with no flip-top.
A flask with no cap.
A silent spoon.
3D goggles with the colors orange and yellow.
Disney-socks. (this is really hard-core man)
The Constitution of the United States written mirrored.
A plastic cap to make you look bald.
A rubber golfclub.
A hat with a beercan-holder and straws attached to it.
A shiny armor made from bottlecaps.
An advanced Origami workbook.
Foamy toothpaste.
Balloons with tiny holes in them.
An action figure of Abraham Lincoln with Kung-Fu lips.
A ninja outfit one sizes too small.
A candy watch.
A huge framed picture of yourself standing next to Madame Toussauds D. Hasselhoff.
A ticket to see yesterdays football match.
Rent a book from the library and wrap it up.
And empty Video2000 tape.
Pokon.

Weird, I can't think of anything else right now...

Great list, Zuvio! In fact, you've given me some ideas for some other people... :evilgrin:
