Worst gift #1: When I was 13 I had gotten a gift box of 20 pairs of earrings for pierced ears from my grandma on my dads side. Only problem with that... I wasn't allowed to get my ears pierced until I was 16.. When my mom and I pointed that out to my grandma her response was "Well, then pierce her ears. How was I supposed to know she didn't have pierced ears?" Oh, I dunno, you're my grandma. How about you PAY ATTENTION!
Worst gift #2: A box of underwear from one of my aunts. Every single one was a different size and none of them were the size I wore when they were given to me.
Worst gift #3: When I was 18 my grandma on my moms side gave me a card that said "I was going to give you $50 but I gave $25 to your aunt to pay her back since I know you never will and the other $25 I am holding onto until you show you are serious about growing up."
Worst gift #4: A set of bar soaps. I am allergic to bar soap. It is well known in the family. I break out in hives.
Worst gift #5: An "IOU" because they ran out of money to buy my gift after buying gifts for the rest of our friends in high school.
Worst gift #6: Again in high school, another year where they 'forgot' about me I was given 3 used pencils.
There have been more gifts like this, but I have blocked those out of my memory. I swore when I bought gifts for people I would pay attention to what they liked and asked for so I was never known for giving the worst gift of the year. Thankfully, I haven't gotten a worst gift in a few years. I guess that means I am due for another one soon though!
