Worst christmas gift?

My husband got one of those head lights that a miner would wear....really cheap like it was a kids toy. It was something that he would never use even if it was good quality. Anyways, he put it on his head and turned on the light. It worked for all of two seconds and then stopped working.
That wonderful gift was from his mother. I've thrown out everything that she has ever given me.
Another good one from her is clothes that she sewed for DS's first birthday. They were made from material from the 80's and the shirt didn't even fit over his head.
I'm not expecting much from her this year either. I told DH just to tell her not to get us anything and focus on our son.

My dad (RIP) forgot to sign my birthday card 2 years in a row. He was not elderly or otherwise impaired...apparently after signing my twin sister's cards he just got distracted or whatever and into the envelope went a blank card out:

Didn't Barb have a thread like this one? I remember posting about my husband's horrible idea of appropriate gifts: wet/dry vac; fire extinguisher; CO2 alarms; smoke detectors; flatware...I've probably blocked out most of them. When they were given it was always with the comment that it was something that I need! About 8 or so years ago I had a meltdown of Chernobyl proportions and started screaming that I did not want to get one more useful gift from him. or else... Last year's anniversary brought me a new iMac and printer, most gifts now involve certificates to spas. His problem was that his family gave underwear and socks. Most years his parents don't give him anything for birthday or Christmas - which is a good thing given their complete lack of taste or belief in natural fabrics...

One year DH bought me a can of Jewel Coffee! tee-hee.....he worked for a company that packaged coffee and was able to seal my Ruby Ring inside...when I open the package.....I was like Oh, Thank you Dear a can of Coffee....it felt too light....He said, go open it.... oh, me liked! I thought it was a pretty ingenious idea and threw me off the track.
