What is the Worst Christmas Gift You Have Ever Received?

Christmas means gifts for everyone. Here is your opportunity to weigh in on those not so good presents.

Okay Patch readers, the question of the day is this “What is the worst Christmas present you have ever received?” 

I’ll go first, just to get us started. One Christmas I was given by someone I will leave nameless a very cute and dainty pair of pink booties. Now you may be thinking what is so wrong with pink booties? If you know me you would totally understand. I am not the pink booties kind-of-girl and the giver of this present definitely should have known better.

What I don’t understand is this, everyone loves buying, giving and receiving presents and we all hope that we pick out, wrap and place under the tree something that will make the perfect gift for someone each year. Honestly, no one really buys something and thinks “This is perfect; they are going to despise this gift,” do we? I mean we spend our own money and time standing in lines to buy everyone on our list something special. If we can’t find something that we know someone will like we try to err on the side of caution and get them a simple gift card but eventually it happens to each of us, the dreaded “worst Christmas gift ever.” I don’t know what happened in the case of the pink booties, maybe they were giving them away at the store or maybe someone gave me the wrong present. Either way in my book the dainty pink booties top my list of worst Christmas presents ever.
