My mother-in-law made my husband and I matching purple mu-mu's. It sounds so crazy ,sounds like I made this up, but sadly it's true.

A very wealthy cheap so called friend whom I gave 14k gold to for a couple of gifts, gave me an appointment book that use to be free from American Express years ago, and you could get it monogram with initials. It Didn,t have mine, but her Daughters initials. I called her up and said you sent me your daughters gift by mistake, knowing she didn,t and she said, my daughter didn,t want it. That is why she is wealthy.

My sister in law gave me candles from a yard sale with the $2 dollar price tag still on it. The candles were Burned and used too! (It was for our $25 gift exchange).

Anything my MIL gives. I think she either regifts things or just goes to the cheapest store she can find like Walmart or Kmart and buys some cheap junk.

this wasn't a lame or bad gift...lets say a huge disappointing gift....my ex took me shopping for coats...I showed him the one I would like....a suede...way under $100.00.....so it wasn't the price...and he had plenty of money....instead of the coat...I got a pillow from some local store anyone could pick up off the shelf.....

To this day I still consider it my worst gift and it was over 50 years ago....
