Is it Lisa who notoriously gets bad presents from her in laws?

I have to say my gift this year is pretty apalling as is my oh (from his own mum!)
she bought him a rock... you know one of the ones that has crystals inside... in blue. the ONE colour we told her we absolutely hate, but why a rock FFS?

and me, I got a lace scarf... but I dont even know if it IS a scarf it could be a table runner... both ends look like they've just been cut with a pair of blunt scissors as the ends are very un finished and freyed. Apparently they saw them and just knew we'd love them.

WTF???

so what bad presents has everyone else had?

I dont remember having a really bad pressent but i remember when i was 15 my mum and dad got a pair of garden shears frm his parents she wasent amused xx

my nan once brought a goose clock for me when i was younger, liek what1?

and i got her a diary set for like 2006 and my mum got it back in 2009!

My mum bought Matt driving gloves a couple of years ago and said she didn't know what to get him and he likes driving doesn't he!

I got a pack of chewing gum from a boyfriend once and a candle, not a scented or pretty candle, just a normal candle!

I still think Lisa's garden flag and hat wins hands down though. I still laugh when I think about it now

I once got a packet of coat hangers and a mr blobby pyjama case of my great nan

i got a how clean is your house book and a basket with a selection of cleaning products.

9 toilet rolls, they were andrex

At least they were good quality Pinky

hehehe yeh Izzy got a garden flag last year from evil step MIL and FIL

Funnily enough Jade, last year I got a scarf like thing that looked like a table runner...its been stuffed in the drawer all year - should have given i back to her and said it was a table runner!

Im not 100% sure, but I think this is the flag (I have no idea where it is now lol)

LMAO! I've never seen the infamous flag before! Just why.... hahahaha

This year Izzy got a Encyclopaedia of the Human Body book. Age 7+

Awwww bless her, they must know shes not going to like them, so weird!

My nan got me one of those dettol hand free soap despesors and my mum got me a potatoe peeler set that was for my birthday this year, i think they knew from my face i wasnt amused

lol Lisa this thing is quite horrific... apparently its to be worn around the neck with it hanging down my back.
now no offence to anyone that does wear scarves like that but it is not me... i never have or never will or have even so much as looked at one of these things so why on earth they thought I would like it is beyond me.
it also has that funny older person smell to it and just looks like someones ripped it off of some other material.

the flag however is the best worst present

I have an auntie that 'recycles' presents. This means that you get a present that someone else gave them in approx 1970. Me and my cousin once got a belt each off dresses that she had worn in the 60's and more recently my dad got a Hi Karate aftershave set that my mum swears she gave my uncle in about 1980. It has become a family joke with the rest of us now and we cant wait to see what we get. We actually started marking any present we gave to them with a red cross so we can see if they do come back!

you mean you've opened your presents already????

FIL bought me a pink glittery crown shaped doorbell the year before last
No idea where it is now though

from mil this year evan is getting a knitted (by herself) matching bright red cardi and hat!! i have seen them and have no idea how i managed to keep a straight face the hat is hideous she gave me it to try it on him for size and i took pics haha its awful there is no way im gonna put it on him
and she knows this so dont know why she has knitted it but hey ho

last year for my birthday adams nan bought me a watch that was a bangle style, shaped like an enamel apple where you lift the apple to see the face, she said my 3 year old neice had liked it when she helped her pick!

for christmas i got a mans black metal divers watch from my supposed best oldest friend, oh and it was from argos too!

i am thinking it was a recycled gift that her husband got.

now it seems there could be a theme here, but i can assure you i am a very punctual person!

my gran always gets us random bits and bobs, not last yr but the one befor me and my sisters got, a pair of thermal socks, some body tape and a table each x
