Worst gift EVER??

I SAW THAT VIDEO! And so did my mom. She felt so bad that she was trying to find out who that kid was so she could send him an Xbox. I think the worst gift I ever got was a candyland game I got... when I was 13! I mean, I used to play candyland.... in kindergarten!

The worst gift ive ever witnessed is probably what my uncle did to my grandfather last year. My grandfather is a very money driven person, he seriously has a tomb next to his he says he wants his money buried in (he says, "who says you cant take it with you?) Anyway, my uncle got him one of those fake lottery tickets. My grandfather is 82 (you wouldnt know it, he acts and looks 50) and didnt catch on and a family feud kind of erupted on how he would divvy up the 10 grand. No one else was in on it so it got kind of heated and my uncle let it go on into the next day before laughing at the old man and letting him in on the joke. I just think it was cruel and in bad taste. People have been getting ugly and wrong sized clothing since the dawn of consumerist holidays. I think its just something we all have to grin and bear at some point :) My step mom still thinks im 12 too (im 26) and gets me pink, frilly things that are just god awful, haha. For my 15th birthday my dad played a prank on me like the little boy, id been saving for a guitar for 2 years and there was this guitar case with a bow on it, oh was i excited. But when i opened it it was an inflatable guitar inside. I almost cried, but you know how you have to hide your dissapointment, at the end of the night my dad asked me to take the trash to the end of the driveway and when i went to the garage on top of the trash bin was a brand new beautiful guitar.

That is so friggin cruel. I would NEVER do that to my kid. I don't care if he got it later that is just mean. I don't think I have ever gotten anything I didn't like. I am easy to please so Ijust go with the flow.

I do not actually do too bad for gifts, I am trying to wrack my brains to think of the worst gift I ever had and the only thing I come up with is when my father in law got me a pot pourri set. I cannot stand pot pourri at all and so it was awful! I think it is still in one of my cupboards somewhere!!

I personally think prank jokes or playing games like this on anyone thats little is a sign of abuse right up there with tickling when you ask them to stop... When someone is small its not nice to pull jokes on a child they can be tramatised by it with lasting affects.. Teens and Adults now play all you want but please don't anyone mess with a childs dreams and wishes..

may be when I was child I get a small globe well actually at that age I want a doll not a globe

I would not want a present disguised as something else. That just is not cool. The worst gift I got was a bunch of stuff ordered off of QVC that had this weird smell to it. I ended up donating it because I did not have the heart to keep the stuff in my house. I might as well do it for a tax credit and maybe somebody else might appreciate it more.

My brother actually played a little bit of a joke on my son this year. At the last minute he switched gift tags on his gift. So instead of his present he got a baby doll. We all laughed. He did not think it was so funny.

Im really not sure if there is such thing as worst gift. I value gifts given to me very much regardless if i could use it or not. I would already appreciate it if someone could remember me. Its just that i appreciate the feeling and effort they made to make me feel special and remembered. Even if i wont be able to use what was given to me it would already make me happy just seeing the gift and remembering the feeling that someone also remembers and cares about me.

I don't really think there's such a thing as a worst gift, because after "it's the thought that counts". But probably there would be a gift that we hope not to receive. Mine would be a picture frame. Each year I get at least one picture frame for a gift. It's almost like I'm collecting them already. I was hoping I don't get one this year. But I did! It's weird.

Ohhh that was aweful. To a kid it would be hard for him understand that he seems got fooled by people. It would take quite sometime before he forgets and forgives. I jsut felt sorry for that kid. But, soon he would be laughing if he recieves the gift he likes. and the memories of what happened to him will just remain a bad and funny memories. ohhh yeah very horrible. I just know the feeling of being betrade or anything. I do received gifts that I dont like but I do appreciate and thank the person who gave the gift to me with all my heart.. knowing the effort and the money they soent for that. so what I do with the gifts since I'm using it. I re-gift it. And I choose the person who I think would like it and give it to him/her instead.

i think that there is no such thing as a worst gift..any gift should be accepted on the presumption that it is given sincerely to someone...an exception is when it is a prank gift..this is different and honestly it's actuslly no fun especially to the recipient of such gift...but any gift should be welcomed....and let's not forget that nowadays economics play the most important consideration when buying gifts...

I believe anyone that makes a valiant effort to actually go out and purchase a gift that is personalized for someone is truly a gift, whether the recipient likes it our not. They should receive it graciously and come to myLot and post here about it!! My worst gift and hate them, beyond hate, is generic gift cards. Gift cards to large stores, such as those stores that have clothing, housewares and groceries (I'm not sure if I can mention brands here), but they are the "Marts" of our world. Now I love eatery gift cards, or specialty clothing gift cards that are only for me. The "Mart" cards...well, I will buy groceries for my family, or necessities that we need for the house. It's just how I operate! So don't give me one of those! I will not get myself something! I will buy everyone else something! Get me a "Secret" gift card by all means!

Pranks are really the worst agents next to surprises. using pranks with giving gifts completely shatters the essence of the gift which is to make them happy. in my case i received an underwear for our Christmas party... wow

The worst gift? Well I think mine is topping lists this year. I got paper for Christmas from my uncle and his wife. Yes, paper, writing paper. 600 sheets of the stuff and there is no way that I need that much of it. I doubt I'll even open it up.

Videos like that are becoming more common with the advent of sites like YouTube, and even before then with TV shows like "America's Funniest Home Videos." Some people just want their 15 minutes of fame even if they hurt others to get it.

The worst gift I ever got, was a glass(it says crystal) "thing" from my aunt. I don't even know what it was!.. but I'm told it was a glass figure of a pig.. I turned it upside and all around.. I didn't see it being a pig.. it was a glass glob.. anyway.. I have it on my piano.. and everyday (just about) someone comes in a turns the little thing over or around.. cause they don't know what it is either! lol!

haha thats a good one with the xbox and just inside were clothes lol , they at least should have been New clothes lol i think my worst gift back then as a kid were clothes lol , oh now i remeber those big bulky jackets , that you cant put your arms down , and you look like a penguin at school lol i always used to get those , i hate them til this day lol

For Christmas, I think the worst gift to give a child would be something NOT a toy. Children needs toys for Christmas I believe.
