Darkluniux Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I still remember it... I was like ten years old, my aunt come... And... A big ugly ceramic vase in the shape of the head of a clown. My mother and I hate it, but my grandmother likes it so we can't trow it away. Also, that day, my aunt also gifted me like 2$ (according to my own currency change calculations) in A LOT of coins. My mother and I are still wanting to see someday an accident that involves trowing that clown's head... Someday... http://darkluniux.blogspot.comBehold my blog! Thou shalt visit it and rejoice!

Giordano Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 My ex bought me a book called: How to kiss? :evil: /owned! :XD: The worst gifts to give me, a clothes. Hate it when people give me clothes I'll probably never wear! A Happy Meal toy worth 20cents would be better than clothes for me. At least you can kept entertained by it for a while. -.- "The cry of the poor is not always just, but if you never hear it you'll never know what justice is."

Potter_Pkr Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I wouldn't say horrible, but more pointless. The main culprit for me are those high end fountain pens. Personally, they stay in their nice cases because I have never found a good occasion to use an expensive pen. As Dilbert once moaned about, shop vouchers are a bit pointless when you can just get cash. :wink: Retired 8th October 2007 | 99 Fishing | 99 Cooking | Owner of a Red Mask and 2 Santa Hats | Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coenvg Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I'm a Christian, and my bigger brother (18) gave me a Koran on my last birthday (my 15th), I first didn't know what to say, or how to look :roll:, but after a few seconds we laughed about it, I read a few chapters, and it was a bit interesting to, somethings are directly copied from the Bible, or a bit changed, thats funy to read in my opinion (if you know about the bible). A few days later he told me he was buying the new Netherlands version of the bible on E bay and saw the Koran in the same catogory books for only 10 euro so he decided to buy it :XD: Master of Firemaking since 10-11-2007 Yes, I QUIT! =] Master of Woodcutting since Christmas 2007Completed all quests - Completed all achievement diaries.

IGoddessI Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I do love my dad and I know he loves me, but that doesn't change that those are horrible gifts. Of course you love your dad, you just don't want him pushing his religion on to you and making you feel uncomfortable 8-) Especially since he already knows it makes you feel uncomfortable and makes the situation worse by buying you gifts trying to influence your decision. I have my own beliefs which are none of peoples business but I certainly don't go around buying birthday presents about it to give to people who don't believe the same thing I do. If I were in your shoes, I'd absolutely be mad too.

Rainy_Day Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 I wouldn't say I've had any horrible gifts, but I've had some pretty 'naff' gifts. For example, a cheap plastic dome which had a Harry Potter puzzle inside when I was 14. I opened it, placed it to one said, and thought in my head "It's the thought that counts". That was from a God-Mother of mine. Another time I had a wool jumper which was bright white, I don't think I've seen anything quite like it. Luckily I was given the receipt, so I soon exchanged that. :P Normally most people are unaware of what to buy me anyway, so cash is normally the main gift. Not going to complain against that now am I. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)RIP Michaelangelopolous Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelem_ryu Posted October 25, 2007 Share Posted October 25, 2007 Yeah my ex bought me a blue fluffy bunny holding an easter egg basket for easter. I was just like...........wtf................. I don't do corny.... :shock: DIE RABBIT! :P My first boyfriend played a trick on me, he bought a box and filled it with marbles and i held the box and I was like..... ur kidding me right? Then inside he had bought me a diamond ring so I had no idea what it was........ I was like OMG!!!!!!!!!! Thank god there are girls that prefer stuff like fluffy bunnies over diamond rings. (Although i guess the bunny would be cooler without holding an easter egg basket o.0) Although gems are pretty, their worth makes them ugly imo. Too me such things look as if they had a price tag attached, unless of course they are so valuable that they are priceless. Juwelery that doesn't cost much doesn't suffer from that problem. @Topic: My mother has this thing that i get too much. For example i mentioned that i'm interested in "Dune". What i got was the entire series, i was overwhelmed and didn't even read one of the books. I just wanted the first book, see if i like it and then maybe get the next one. For some reason she recently brought me a huge can of cocoa. I really like cocoa, but now i have a huge can standing around that i won't finish in a year. Not only that, i already have a small box of cocoa that neatly fits into my shelf. I don't know why, but she used to buy me boxer shorts. Now i have way to much of them. What am i supposed to do with them? I hate having too much stuff. I try hard to get rid of as much as i can and still i have too much. I used to play Magic: the Gathering, so i got a whole booster box for my birthday o.0 Although it was nice opening all those packs it was waay too much and severly altered the way i played. When i still live with my parents, she used to buy Krapfen (they are similar to doughnuts). She didn't buy one or two though, she bought half a dozend. Don't ask me why, but i always felt compelled to eat them all. I didn#t get fat or anything, but still.. idk. Less is more! Yes I do hate it when people ask what you want.. and then ignore it. I hate the asking anyway. I mean i can get that stuff myself, can't i? A good gift is something i didn't know i want. Man what would i give for a gift like that. Last birthday i didn't know what i want (like almost always), so i told my parents i want strings for my bass. So that's what i got. Saved me the time to buy them myself =P Ah, well... at least they enjoyed buying them, they were cheap and i really needed them. My sister always manages to get me stuff i really don't like at all. When she was in Buthan she brought me a really ugly T-shirt. It's still in it's plastic bag. Last christmas i got shower gel from the body shop - shower gel for women... i mean wtf!? I know you should give stuff you like yourself, but that's taken it a little too far. When i asked her why she didn't get shower gel for men, she said that the ones she got smelt better -.- Well maybe one day i wake up as a girl and am glad to have them =P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

knives669 Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 Well, once for my birthday, I got a rubber band. A purple rubber band. I went over to a friend's house and she said, "Oops! I didn't get you a present for your birthday! *grabs a rubber band off a table* Here!" It didn't really matter to me. :P It's the thought that counts, I suppose. Then, for Christmas last year, we did the Secret Santa thing in my Journalism class. I happened to get a guy who I didn't know at all. All I knew was that he liked to hunt and that it was getting to be extremely cold. So, I went out and got him some warm camouflage clothes and some gloves. I probably spent $20-30 on him. When the day came to present out gifts to one another, everyone got some really awesome stuff. Someone got some Xbox games, another person got a homemade cake that smelled yummy. :D Someone else got a bucket of candy. My Secret Santa turned out to be a girl who has quite the reputation for being LOADED. Guess what she got me. A $5 gift card to Sonic (If you don't know what Sonic is, it's a fast food place. We happen to have one RIGHT NEXT TO OUR SCHOOL. So odds are, she stopped by on the way to school that morning and got me a $5 gift card). And if anyone here has been to Sonic, you'd know that $5 won't buy much. I was pretty mad. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLancer Posted October 26, 2007 Share Posted October 26, 2007 I don't get it.. What is it with parents/grandparents/cousins/friends giving gifts that try to implicate an agenda on you? Like religious board games (try to convert person), giving pony toys/barbies to a 15 year old (try to treat the person like a baby)... Know the person you're giving a gift to, and buy him what he/she really would want. Going for the usual socks/chocolate.. Is quite unimaginative. I couldn't care less what gifts I get personally but I understand what message giving that kind of gifts implies: That you don't really care. I always bought a new video game/necklace/something they want etc. for my friends if they had a major celebration they hold in value such as birthday, wedding, religious ceremony etc... Or you could go for... 8-) Money. Not an usual gift from a friend, so maybe you'd rather give a gift card.. But at least they'll really appreciate your gift rather than "appreciating" it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
