I can't actually recall getting a present that I hated. I've gotten some useless gifts that I would never use, but I haven't gotten any that I hated.

I lost this picture for a year or so. Someone else had kindly saved it. I post it again for posterity. This is what my parents got me one year. It is indeed a wolf's head gutter spout. The mouth opens and lets rain water out. This was my big gift that year. In comparison, my brother got an XBox. I swear I am not making any of this up.  xbox definitely beats the wolf, but I actually think a wolf gutter spout is kinda nifty if you ask me (in Butters voice from South Park) |

Well this isn't a bad gift at all, just unfair. Well every year my aunt gets my brother and sister something awesome then gives me something close but not as great. For example (she's quite rich btw): I get $100, my brother got $200 and my sister got an iPad Mini. LOL. This happens every year but just different gifts. Like I said, I'm grateful that she gives me that stuff but a bit unfair. I'll post back here for the variation of this for this year's christmas.

When I was six years old, I received an empty caller ID box for a Christmas gift. I was pissed off to the max.

Damn do I love that Wolf Head. My aunt is the notorious bad gift giver of the family. This showed up in my arms one horrid holiday:  This also was unwrapped one year...at least she tried, I guess?  She passed this talent onto my godchild, who just gave me this last year:  The worst gift that side of the family gave me is something I almost feel selfish about calling it the worst. After 2 years I went back to school, and wanted a laptop for classes. I was saving up at the time and already had a few hundred in the bank for it. X-mas comes that year, we're at my aunt;s for the holiday, and I am given a slightly heavy, small box and unwrap it to reveal...  A netbook. A super small laptop, for those who've never seen one. Microsoft Word or Excel? No, not even a trial. CD-Rom drive? No. Windows? 7 Starter edition. I had all intention on returning it since I couldn't really use it for school, and this was when stores were charging restocking fees. I didn't care though. I politely put the netbook aside and headed to the bathroom. I come back...and my uncle is in the process of opening the box to "help me set it up"...well, there goes $350 I could have put towards a real laptop. It was a nice gesture, but the machine's so useless. To this day my mom uses it to check her e-mails when she doesn't feel like going on her desktop and it can barely handle that. I dont know why but I kinda like that Skull shirt |

Mine too comes from my Aunt, although she does a load of great presents too, theres usually a few that stun me.
Last year it was paisley pyjama's not the stretchy nice PJ's but the buttoned shirt top kind...
I think they probably take the title, just truely horrific to look at...
EDIT:
The worst is from my girlfriend actually,
she gave me, as a joke because im accident prone, a gift bag with kids monkey plasters (band aids) a Tommy Tipee cup and strawberry childs tear free shampoo, I got the shampoo in my eye and it burnt like hell....
not only was the present aimed at mocking me, it also lied to me, and put me in quite literally BLINDING PAIN!
another time, although not the worst, but quite a buzz kill was the time someone wrapped my 3 year old brothers present and put my name on the box, nothing more mood killing than thinking you have one more present left then opening it to find it's a child's puzzle and its not even for you...

One every year, always from my uncle and auntie. They have pulled out some real crappers, I wouldn't be surprised to get a crapper one year.
One year thy bought me a power rangers pajamas, which to be fair wasn't bad, but I was 15 years old and they where for "ages 3-5"... I just don't know who they think I am but they clearly don't get any idea of who I am at all when I see them.
My nan loves the shopping channel to so I usually get some crap from her that's useless.
Not really a bad present but years ago my big present was a psp, and when it came down to it and the big last present my dad realised he left it, unwrapped, in his work office. It would have still be a surprise an awesome to get if I didn't already open 4 psp games.

My aunt is a horrible gift giver. Its not like she doesnt have money, shes practically rich.
When I was 10, she got me a sewing set. What 10 year old boy wants a sewing set?
The year before that, she got me charlie brown stickers. When I was 12, she got me Happy Meal toys that came out 5 years before.

A hanging nutcracker ornament with action movement.    My mother got this for me. I have no idea why she thought I would like it. It wasn't 1860, and my name wasn't Tiny Tim. She still has it & breaks it out every year for decoration. You don't know how hard I laughed at those pictures LOL |

Some of these are truly awful. This thread is one of the reasons I detest the holidays so much. People put so much thought into seeing the tradition honored every year. the holidays are a "tradition" they reason for all the work it takes. Well, if going to the mall or store, having to put up with a bunch of other people, only to get a gift that qualifies for any crappy gift contest, then it's a darn stupid tradition.
I'm not religious at all but if I were to believe in the religious reasons for the holidays, I'd be pretty disappointed that it has gotten so far away from the original intention. Really, one of the main reasons I am not religious is because religion and holidays are nothing like what they should be. Somehow I don't think the three wise men had a puppet with a string attached to it's crotch or power rangers jammies for a teen in mind when they gave baby Jesus gifts.

Wasn't me who got it, but one year my two brothers and I each got a new PS2 game. I got Marvel Ultimate Alliance, my other brother got the current WWE:SvR game(2007 I believe) and my youngest brother got a demo disk. Wow.
