A box full of rocks. No srsly. My parents (me being.....eh about 8) wanted to surprise me with something (I think it was like some really cool dragon toy thing) so they thought it would be funny to wrap 2 individual boxes, both filled with rocks to weigh it down so it felt like something heavy (they taped/ glued the rocks to the box....so when I shook it, you couldn't tell) was inside. They gave me the box with just the rocks first. Haha, I was sooooooooo excited. Finally got to the last box (they also did the box within a box within a box thing.....gotdang trolls my parents were) and realized it was just boxes and rocks. I through...the biggest fit. Makes me giggle snort thinkin about it. Then they handed me the other box and I angrily unwrapped this one, figuring more rocks and boxes within boxes....but this one had my dragon inside

Pretty cool dragon thing if you ask me........still got it. Big plush dragon (or maybe more of a serpent), bout 6-7 feet long. It watches over my pillows :3

Yes, it was a bad christmas present. Use your noggin for christ's sake.

Did you arrest the person who gave it to you?

No, but we aren't friends anymore. (Although to be fair, he did wrap it up nicely haha)

I don't remember my bad gifts because I'm a grateful Chinese boy.

that being said, a "family friend" (who my immediate family hates) bought me lotion. It was already opened. And i'm pretty sure 1/4 used.

Many years ago, my senile great-grandmother gave my brother and I alarm clocks she purchased from Mexico.

They were little plastic roosters (shaped like them and everything) and if you ever put batteries in them, you were destined for a noisy experience. Regardless of what time you tried to set the clocks to go off, they would go off about an hour or two after you set them and they would not stop until you removed the batteries. It was the worst possible sound to wake up to, especially when you're 8-years-old with an overactive imagination.

If the chupacabra is real, I imagine its call sounds something like that damn alarm clock.

A hideous dressage pad for my horse, with a pink leopard pattern from my mum. One, I hate pink and animal prints. Second it was in the wrong size, the pad was meant for a small pony not for an Oldenburger stallion -.-"

The real question here is whether or not you enjoyed using your Christmas present.

That sounds like the best alarm clock ever.

I've never received an especially bad gift, but my mother regifts christmas presents from previous years that she doesn't want. This includes back scratchers, flamingo toilet cleaning brushes, and various packages of candy which I'm assuming are expired by the time she gives them to someone else. I feel bad for them

Speaking of alarm clocks... have any of you ever had one of those alarm clocks that get up and run away from you when they go off?

-_- I hate them so much.

I remember secretly raging at my parents for getting me a Poochie when I was 11 (I asked Santa for it when I was 6 or 7). But now I feel bad for feeling angry! That was like, the best present I ever got!!! And I would LOVE a Poochie right now! HOLY SHIT, EBAY TIME!

In my defense, I didn't rage to their faces. Feel bad now, though.

Apart from that, a pack of second-hand Spice Girl stuff in like... 2005 was a bit... eh.

Oh, actually! I was very close with my best friend's family in High School and we all used to give eachother gifts. Her sister who hated me got me the same temperature... measuring... thingy... two years in a row. I was pretty stoked because the other one fell off my table though!

It seems to do what it says in the advertisement. It's supposed to be obnoxious.

Got you something for Christmas, just want to verify that this is in fact your favorite scent:

You're doing it again. Seriously just stop.

Acne medication from Mom around the beginning of high school! It was nice of her to be thoughtful, but I never raised concerns about my acne at the time, so I guess she took it into her own hands Sadly it did not work magic

I feel like not getting cash is the worst Christmas present ever. I want one thoughtful gift from my best friend and then CHEESE

Wait, so you think anything other than money is not a good present but you want something thoughtful from your best friend... and she gave you cheese?

I'm not criticizing! I'm just thoroughly confused by your statement... which I think is a fault on my part, not yours!

Lol, well that gift's at least useful. I've dealt with acne all my life too, and I wouldn't mind getting something like that I don't think I've ever gotten a gift that I just did not like at all.

I can't really think of anything horrible. A couple years ago my boss got every woman in the company a gift certificate to a salon that was in the same shopping center as us. They got the men something different, I don't remember what. I do remember a few of the employees being kind of confused and/or offended that they would assume the women wanted salon certificates and the men would want something else, and some of us swapped with others who wanted to go to the salon. The salon ended up really sucking anyway, and after the first few people had bad experiences most of us didn't even use the gift certificates we got.

Other than that, I guess just getting nothing at all from my significant other at the time would probably be the worst present I ever got (or didn't get, as the case may be).
