I wonder why Mothers-in-law buy such insulting gifts?

A co-worker gave me a ball gag. It was a gag gift.

Where do I begin, lol. I came from a very cheap family...aunts and uncles with lots of money that gave old, used items for Christmas.

However, the one that really stands out in my mind was a gift I got one year from my parents. It was a chipped up Christmas candle that my mother bought on clearance the year before. The cellophane wrapping was discolored and torn.

Another year, they gave my husband a bunch of junk from Kohl's, that she bought on clearance several years before. He got a cap, which is not something he would ever wear, and a really ugly sweater. Just for the heck of it, we tried returning them to Kohl's, and they couldn't even find them in their current inventory list. So, they offered him 81 CENTS for everything!

When I was a teen my mother, for some unknown reason got me a pair of blow up woman legs with high heels. Blown up and sitting on the chair, when I came down Christmas morning. What was she thinking ??? It is still a big family joke. Although I am in therapy. Lol

It seems like poor form to talk about worst Christmas presents but I have to admit some of these stories are unbelievable and quite funny.

Wow these are some doozies,my own Mother gives the worst yard sale gifts also and she has $$$ too. She really irritates me. Worst gift was from my first hubby,a wooden cutting board,I wasn't mad,but I laughed till I amost peed my pants.

My MIL gave me the most atrocious set of Libby Bar ware, circa 60s. When taking them out of the box at the gathering, right in the bottom of the box was a wedding card from someone. Yep, you guessed it, she regifted one of her wedding presents to her son and me.

Ex MIL gave me string cheese ... 1 packet. Ex husband gave me a box of Kleenex

A friend's mother gave me a tray that she had obviously won at Bally's Casino -- because that is what it said on it! This woman smoked like a chimney and it reeked of cigarette smoke -- no doubt from spending a long time in her house. Right into the garbage!

My sister gave me a pair of mounted steer horns. I gave them back to her the next year!
