When my husband was a teenager he got his mom a frying pan for Christmas (she said she needed to get a new one). When she opened it, she was so upset, and she explained that you never buy a lady something for the kitchen for Christmas. Well this scarred my husband for life (LOL).
He married a woman who LOVES to cook, and I am often asking for little gadgets for the kitchen, etc, but he can't bring himself to buy them for me...
So what was terrible for her, would have been fabulous for me! (but please don't buy me a treadmill or gym membership! Which my MIL would LOVE)
What have you received that you wish you wouldn't have, or that may have been more appropriate for someone else? ..

When I was in High School the long sweater was in style. I saw a multi-colored striped sweater in Seventeen magazine and told my mother I wanted one for Christmas. I showed her the picture!
When I opened the present it was a long off-white old lady looking sweater with a large brown wooden button. She could tell by the look on my face that I did not like it. It was very stylish but looked like something an older married woman would wear.
She started crying and ran to her bedroom! I felt terrible! I just hated that sweater and had to wear it. I had my heart set on the colorful striped sweater!
That's the only present in my entire life that I did not like!

Well this is a terrible view into my past-
In my BC days, i loved rap music ( I still listen to TobyMac), I asked my GRANDMOTHER (why, I do not know??) for the 2LiveCrew cassette (BAD BAD BAD!!)- well this was when they first started putting WARNING EXPLICIT LYRICS on tapes, so come Christmas morning, I opened up, not 2Live Crew, but MC Hammer-- My grandma said she couldn't bring herself to buy an explicit lyric tape... LOL
I guess if she had bought me the 2Live Crew tape, that could qualify as the worst present ever...

But if you liked it, would it be considered the worst? LOL!
My first year married and we were poor. I unwrapped a box that contained four place settings of our china. I was very confused because I knew we had received 10 place settings for our wedding and I couldn't understand why he'd given me four more.
WELL, he didn't - - he had wrapped up one of the boxes from our wedding just so I would have something to unwrap. S T U P I D!!!!!!
I cried.

I could have lived with that. I still enjoy a little "Hammertime" every so often.
For the most part as a kid though I was country to the bone. One Christmas was about the same time they put out that Kenny Rodgers greatest hits album. I wanted that and a record player. Well I got the record player, mom got the Kenny Rodgers album and they gave me a 45 of the Little River Band and some read along GI Joe story books.

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter

That is hilarious! It's like a 5th grader but, not as cute!
That reminds me about the year my brother wanted to give my mother something soooooo badly! He was probably around 6 years old. He found a broken earring and wrapped it! Of course my mother gushed over it. We tease him to this day!
