It's not like I expect much....

OK, so every year I make a thread about the gifts my family gives me and how horrendously inappropriate they are.

One year, my mother gave me a bright red v-neck cardigan, knowing that I hate sweaters, v-necks and red.

One year my mother gave me a bunch of wooden heart-shaped cedar chips to put in my "sock drawer". Do I look like the kind of person who has a sock drawer?

Last year my sister gave me a big orangy-pink beaded pillow. To go with my African bedroom that she knows I have.

My parents last year gave me a paper mache clown mask, disregarding how I've been scared of clowns my whole life.

My Dad once gave me shrimp forks, ignoring my sea food allergy.

My family knows how much I hate the east coast of Canada, so they bought me a HUGE framed print of a crappy-ass folksy paining of the New Brunswick countryside.








But this year.. I think my sister won the grand prize.

this year, My sister called me and asked me what I'd like. I told her that I like stuff from my favorite soap/skin care product store LUSH. It's hard to go wrong.

I just told her nothing girly, pink, flowery or uber-gay. If it looks like something from a drag queens bathroom, put it back.

So she was very good.

No bath bombs, no floral soap, no perfume.

No no.. my sister was smart and got be a bottle of shampoo. (I'm completely bald)






I don't know why I bother :jerkoff:

A few modifications and this will make a great chain letter.

Now send this to all of your friends or you are doomed to get bad gifts for the next five years.

That is fucking hilarious Jasun. But I think you are looking at this the wrong way. Your family OBVIOUSLY has a GREAT sense of humor. Enjoy it. :D

Maintain this list for your entire life and you will have an heirloom to pass to future generations.



Btw, shampoo makes an excellent bubble bath substitute. Or you could always keep it around for guests. Plus it makes an excellent silicone lube remover. ;)

i guess ya gotta laugh. what else can you do?

arie is 6'7" and never wears tight shirts or bright colors. a few years ago his folks got him 3 very ultra modern skin tight shirts, medium size (perfect for a guy 6'7", right?) and i only remember that one was bright orange on white. when he gave 'em back, saying that it was pretty obvious that aside from style and color issues, a guy his height couldn't wear a medium, they decided he had hurt their feelings and stopped giving him presents at all.

No... but you also don't look like someone who gives yourself a mudmask facial either. :innocent:

I stopped shipping gifts to my family out east when I realized that the shipping cost 10 times more than the gift.

Sounds like you should just give them a list of places you'd like a gift certificate from!!! ... don't know if all these "bad" gifts were just flubs or if they really have a concious plot of trying to find something they know you'll hate as a joke ... but it was a pretty funny post!
