One time I was at the dollar store with my ex boyfriends psycho mom. She picked up these sweatshirts that were only cheap because they were sewn wrong. That year we had a secret santa exchange....I got ex boyfriends cousin and gave her all these super nice things......Ex boyfriends sister in law got me and they had been having financial problems that year....guess what I got...One of those sweaters...Ex boyfriends mom gave it to them to give me. 
mckayleesmom replied: Did I also mention that the sweater was dirty when she bought it....and dirty when I got it? 
Our Lil' Family replied: Peanut Butter.....yes, seriously
Mommy2Isabella replied: Gift Certificates to MC DONALDS ... long story ... they needed to get me something so I wasn't empty handed after I was invited to the "step" families gathering ... so they got me some cheap stuff ...
Cece00 replied: I once got a bath gift set that smelled SO BAD it was unbelievable. But the intentions were good so I felt bad being angry about it...I wasnt actually angry @ all, more remorseful that I didnt give a clear answer when the giver asked me what I want. I learned to never say "Oh, anything is fine" again

Mine was a clock from my SIL that looked like a piece of drift wood. No numbers, just clock hands stuck in the middle of LARGE piece of laquered wood!
The second was the moldy fruit cake...or maybe it was meatloaf??  Mailed to us by DH's grandmother!!
And third, this was THIS year...A little polyester suit for Wil! Poor kid! NO offense to those who like a kid in a suit, but this was a little silky vest with baseball bats and balls on it, a bow tie, and ELASTIC waist pants, all in a cheap polyester.  I'm sorry, but where did she think he was going to wear it!!?
Yes, it's the thought that counts......

Boo&BugsMom replied: I think I've shared this before...
Every year Troy's grandma gets me the same stuff...holiday towels from the dollar store (none of the cute fancier ones), a grandma-ish holiday sweatshirt that gets thrown into the garage sale box, and some sort of cheap holiday candle assortment...and not nice ones...cheap looking stuff I'll never put out. Yes it's the thought that counts, but based on what I usually wear everyone knows I do not wear holiday sweatshirts or sweaters and I'm not into the basic green/red holiday decorations. I think the best thing I have gotten from her is slipper socks. Then, to make matters worse, Troy usually gets at LEAST $100 in cash from her. Now, don't get me wrong, I really don't care, but in my family we do things equally. It would be considered disrespectful. That's just how I was raised, to be fair. It's not about "what" I get, it's the equality of it all to me. We're not dating, we're married. I would much rather neither of us get anything if that is the case. It just makes me feel belittled really.

At least a little thought was put into that... 
ZandersMama replied: The gift from my control freak that is the father of my children takes the cake this year for me. He would not give me a hand with Christmas this year for the kids, was suppose to get me their Christmas outfits since he didnt help with Christmas, and handed me 40$ to get new outfits and shoes for the kids for the sunday school pagent. SO fast forward to Christmas when he hands me a gift.......100$ walkie talkies with a 40km radius. So he can get ahold of me when when i go out or when he is at work and i take the children out to get groceries. So, he cant get the kids anything for Christmas, but he can blow 100$ on walkie talkies. 
Cece00 replied:
I'd return them  and buy something for the kids
I would laugh SO HARD at my ex if he did something like that (like he has the right to get ahold of me at any time I dont want to be gotten ahold of....eh, I'll call HIM when I want to speak to him...) and then I would throw those things at him & tell him not to come back until he had returned the stupid things & bought something for the kids.
ZandersMama replied:
I returned them and got toyboxes for the kids

Calimama replied:
That's worse than the peanut butter!
Bamamom replied:
Yeah - its a good thing I love my MIL.....
Cece00 replied:
Good for you!
grapfruit replied:
That literally made my skin crawl!
I can't think of anything too bad. Maybe an ugly sweater from my dad or grandma.
Our Lil' Family replied:
Well at least I was able to eat my gift....wth were they thinking?
Calimama replied:
I have no idea, I can't grow things to save my life.
