Worst gift

[BetteDavisEyes]

My favorite nursery rhyme as a child was "Hey Diddle, Diddle" so one year, my favorite aunt made me a red sweater with a cow jumping over the moon, a little cat with a fiddle, and a dish running running away with the spoon. It was covered in sequins and very detailed.

The problem is that as a child, I would have adored it but I was 23 when she gave it to me. The look of horror on my face made my family laugh. Thank goodness my aunt was not there to see me cringe.

any clothing item from my Mother-in-law (queen of the matching shirt-pants outfits with matching shoes and socks). It could be the Christmas sweater vest that I wear one day a year (Christmas at her house), or the multitude of holiday socks, or the royal blue velour tracksuit that she gave me last year.

I don't have the heart to ask for gift reciepts so I can return the stuff.

Oh my god, I'm so glad this thread was bumped just so I could see this post and the link.

I only got halfway down the FIRST PAGE and was in tears laughing - I literally had to click out of it and take a break to compose myself! High - larious.

Both of these made me laugh out loud at work so much that everyone in my office turned around and stared at me.

My mom once got me this sweater that she bought off a vendor. It was really really itchy wool, with a huge neon daisy in the middle of it.

My ex got me a bathing suit for my birthday two years ago, it was WAY too small for me... who buys a bathing suit for your girlfriend??!

My step-mom gave me an empty gift box one year. EMPTY. She said I could put my jewelry in there.
