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?

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...
