bad xmas gifts

[jwslam]

k so i did a quick search and didn't find anything

ANYWHOO
i was walking through the mall when i saw that they were selling snuggies
and it made me think
if somebody bought me that would i actually use it? i guess i'll know if and when it happens

but the point is,
(a)what bad gifts have you gotten that you've never used or intend on using?
(b)do you think about that when you gift?

i'll start. several of my previous gifts sucked shit because they were extremely spontaneous buys and now that i think about it they're a complete waste of money and i know the receiver will never use it again after once. that makes this year's shopping extremely difficult because now i'm putting TOO much thought in.

one gift i got on my past bday was a 'digicam' i swear is intended for like 5 year olds (300,000pixel, no screen, probably cost 10 bucks) and it's something i would never open nor use

everyone needs socks.

... but honestly, i cant say i have gotten a bad gift before, maybe a shirt or something that isnt my style, but i make use of everything i have/get really.

I am pretty easy going.

Haha I have a gift from 4 years ago sitting in the box behind my head board. Its a cork board with picture frames my Aunt gave me before i went to university.

Last year I received an electric razor. I am more a clean shave kinda guy and don't mind the extra time, so I returned that pretty quick.

Socks are a solid go to, the dryer eats all mine so i never complain, of course if they are old school tube socks maybe.

I don't think I have ever given shitty gifts. Although this is quite possible because I don't usually put much thought into the practicality of gifts.

books are useless as well, they end up just sitting somewhere taking up space

Agendas. Who doesn't have a blackberry/smartphone or other way to keep track of their schedule?

Not really a bad gift, just more of what the fuck are you thinking.

I remember back when I was a kid my aunt got me a horrible Colorado Avalanche t-shirt for Xmas. The next Xmas she got me the exact same Colorado Avalanche T-Shirt, except it was a different color.

I got a dominoes set from my aunt about two years ago.

[Stealth13]

lol dominoes you use once and then get bored. I would rather it be a dominoes pizza

An oversize simple calculator. Buttons were massive on that thing.

If I woke up Christmas morning to a fresh hot pizza from (Panago/Pizza 73/Domino's etc), I'd kiss whoever got it for me! That'd be a wicked christmas present!
