that reminds me...
one christmas my family did polyanna and my uncle and aunt in ga. sent me a dark blue teddy and robe with champagne glasses on it. i was frickin 13 and was like "what the hell? do they know they picked me???"
two christmases before that, in another crappy polyanna gift-giving moment, my cousin who is 2 years older and 2 times bigger than me bought me this zip-up sweater with a leopard pattern and this huge fur collar with matching skintight leopard stirrups... of course i wrapped that sucker up and gave it to another cousin the year after that...
i mean she might be stank.. but it dont run in the family...

Back in elementary school, we had a grab bag gift giving activity. Basically, everyone was supposed to spend no more than ten dollars, and buy a gift to put in the bag.
I bought a Barbie doll, and a Barbie outfit as my contributing gift, so I didn't give a cheap gift. But, when it was my turn to grab, I grabbed a long tube....wanna know what was in it? Some DAMN CONFETTI...AND A CARD MADE OUT OF NOTEBOOK PAPER THAT SAID MERRY CHRISTMAS. WTF?!
Some funky gifts given in my family: I have a cousin that is about 15 years older than me. Well, one year, about ten years ago(My cuz was about 27 at the time), she gave my grandmother an atomizer....WITH NO PERFUME IN IT. Plus she left the price tag on, and we all knew she paid five dollars for it at Family Dollar or something. Needless to say, my grandma was like, "What am I gonna do with an EMPTY ATOMIZER?!" (My granny is very outspoken.) She talked about that thing until about JUNE.

speaking of grandma's
Man oh Man, you made me think about this one Christmas with my grandma.
My cousin(who is the funny one of the family) got a present for my grandma's little poodle Ni-Ni(yeah I know, ghetto  )
Well it's a little shirt and my grandma is like "oh how nice for Ni-Ni!!!" Until she reads what that shirt says:
It said "Granny's number one bitch" on the front and back.
Mind you my Granny goes to church EVERY DAY!
My cousin got kicked out the house by granny and she didn't talk to him for 4 months. he kept telling her it was a joke

I was at my family's Xmas party. They were passing out presents. My aunt gave her son a bar of soap. LOL. I couldn't beleve it. Then he turned around and said, I'll use this up in one bath--a regular bar of soap... It was POLO SPORT though. But when I bought my two little boys that, it came with some cologne in a box. We was like where is the cologne. I would never give nobody any personal items like sox-only if they were name brand.

at my last job we had a gift exchange with a max of $20...
everyone got cool stuff like bath & body works, a floating candle set....
this chick brought a *small* loaf of homemade pumpernickel that was wrapped in a red dish rag???
i know its that thought that counts, but what the hell was she thinking?

OK. I will never forget the worst gift of my life. Lol its so petty I feel bad for even telling this story.
In kindergarden we had to draw names for Christmas. For the name I drew, I went with my mom and we bought the coolest glass Snoopy bank - it was painted, it was awesome. I figured since I was bringing something cool, I just knew I would get something cool in return. The day arrived for our Christmas party, and I got my present - from this dude who spelled my name sahrahara (instead of sarah). I ripped open the paper...and to my surprise, I had gotten a 39 cent Jesus coloring book! I was steamed! How many colors can you even use in a religious coloring book other than brown and green?? Well there was scene...as I tried to take my snoopy bank back...anywho, parents: do not give a coloring book to your child to give as a present. it sucks. i could understand if thats all she could afford, but i highly doubt it - her parents were loaded. bah humbug

Bad Gifts
This past year, I gave my Secret Santa a gift collection that was arranged in a nice handbag from Victoria Secrets, and what did I get...
A pair of pearl earrings that were valued at ? it is too embarrasing to say..
Nevertheless, I am a grateful individual but "DANG" a couple more $$$$$$$ wouldn't have hurt a bit. I appreciated them anyway.
