Lamest/most useless gift you've ever recieved

[Gentleman_Reptile]

It's the thought that counts right? Sure it counts for something, but the thought that goes into the choice of what iten to get you for Christmas/birthday ect.. matters a bit more sometimes.

Example: I once recieved three dvd's I already owned from close relatives, plus socks, and car seat covers for a car I didnt own one birthday.

A towel.

What the fuck is a 7 year old supposed to do with a goddamn towel?

I once received the same lego set twice at one birthday party. And it was a fucking Naboo starfighter from Star Wars episode 1, the ugliest ship in Star Wars canon. I can only imagine how terrible whoever got me the second set felt watching me open my present and having to wait for me to open the exact same gift a few seconds later.

A Box...

I made a joke when I unwrapped it to see the box around the lines of "Oh yay a box just what I always wanted" then I opened it to see nothing inside. At first I was confused then I realized that the box was handmade and I sort of felt like a jerk. My Aunt doesn't get me gifts anymore. Really though who gives a box for a birthday >.>

The sniper 2. Shittest FPS I have ever played. But I played it and pretended to enjoy it, I didn't want to hurt my best friends feelings.

I was given gloves (the insulated kind for keeping your hands warm in the winter) by my grandmother, and she's been bugging me to thank her for the gift, but the thing is, we live in west Florida, where the weather is rarely colder than 50 degrees. She gave it to me last June, because she doesn't have a use for them anymore (West Florida, big surprise), and she's been bugging me to thank her since.
But my grandmother is quite the *****, so I'm more or less not thanking her out of principle. When you demand something in return, even if it's a thank you (and she's not been kind or hinting about it, she said to my mother before the latest family reunion "Make sure he thanks me for those gloves." Along those lines), it's not a gift anymore. And even if it was, GLOVES. FLORIDA.

My sister once gave me the puke-bag from an airplane (not used, thankfully) as a souvenir for a trip she went on...

 

[Plurralbles]

Now exgirlfiend gave me a shirt from the Salty Dog restaurant... freakin' stupid.

She was so offended that I didn't act like she just gave me head over such an amazing present.

My aunt gave me a toy plane model made of wooden blocks for Christmas.

I was 15 at the time.

A towel.

Tie it around your neck and fly?

Soak it and use it as a whip?

Masterchife helmet. WTF am I going to do with that? let my dog wear it? If it can even fit that.

I got given (due to my love of tea) A USB powered mug that keeps your tea warm. Now in all seriousness it was given with good intentions and i like the thought of it. But the mug is pretty small, so its not exactly gonna take along time to drink that amount of tea. Certainly not enough time to risk the tea going cold. If it had appeared on Dragons Den they would have all been out before you could say waste of money.

It was too short to be used as any of those

I once received a tie from my wife's grandmother. I don't wear ties and even if I did it is ugly as hell.

Awww, this makes me saaaad panda....

Mine had to be a calculator. One Christmas, my dad got me this shiny, sparkly silver graphing calculator - I already had a plain black one that worked fine and wasn't ridiculous looking...

Dry yourself off, obviously.

OT: A t-shirt.

See, I wouldn't have had a problem with it if it didn't say "Champion Beer Drinker" in white letters against a lime green background.

I'm 14...
