Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

My MIL hates me so it's always interesting to see what she sends. A few years ago it was a plastic cup from Walgreens with a manatee on it (she has a sea animal fixation which no one quite understands) - anyways, the cup still had the $1.69 price tag on the bottom. Hubby got a check for $150 and 6 hardback Stephen King books that year.

This year she went even cheaper (is it possible?) - it's a notepad with an otter on it. But on the back, it says "Thank you for your subscription, here's your free gift!" The worst part is, it's not even something I can sell on Ebay. :(

Anyone else get messed-up gifts?

Wow. That's all I can say.

Send her one of your used tampons and attach a tag to it's string saying, "Suck on this."

Too harsh?:D

Holy hell thats funay! :giggling:

I in the past when my grandmother was alive would give me the most hilarious gifts. She perpetually thought I was 8 yrs old, and all the way up till the age 25 she gave me things like Hulk Hogan wrestling figures or "old Spice" cologne.... :excited:

Okay, that just sucks! I didn't get any bad gifts this year but one time a guy at work kept saying he had a surprise for me. This was years ago and so as to be on topic, it was around Christmas. I was really excited and when he gave me the gift, it was one of those troll pens. The ones with the freaky troll head and big fuzzy green hair. R's grandmother gave him a girl's sweater once for Christmas. (bless her heart LOL)

My mother in law bought me a bottle of old spice. Not kidding. Old spice.

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

Old Spice smells good in a 1960's granddad kind of way. :)

The first Christmas after hubby and I got married, the in-laws got me some knee pads. Now, even though hubby and I are "do it yourself" kinda people, I was like.....WTF - is this a joke?? Why the hell would you give your new daughter-in-law knee pads as a gift??? Very strange! :twak:

I just smiled and said thank you. :rolleyes:

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

I wish early in my first marriage someone had given my wife KNEE-PADS...

Stacy,

many funny things come to mind....

BUT

being serious (which is difficult for me)
YOU DUMB F**KING HUSBAND needs to have a talk with his mother..
SHE is intentionally being rude to you and your husband is allowing it to continue...nuff said....................................

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

Knee pads is hilarious. One year my dad got mom one of those neck massagers so we're all at the diningroom table and mom says, "Oh, let me show you the vibrator your dad got me!" We started laughing and it went right past her. She brought it back to the table and still kept saying it was her new vibrator. :clapping:

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

LMFAO!

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

I wish my wife would have gotten some knee pads. Its really bad when in the summer and we are in public and her knees look all "rashed up" from the carpet. Maybe next year.....:clapping:

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

does she install carpet or something....how do her knees get rashed up....

Re: Which Christmas gift sucked this year?
 

OMG Stacey -
It made me laugh, but its kind of tragic. Your hubby should have a sit down with his mom and explain a few things.

perhaps you could give her used post cards of nice places you think she might like to visit. ;)
