I got Musk cologne when I was 11 up to 15. My tight Wad relatives would give me this every year i swore revenge so i send them fruit cake every Year now
The Worst Present I Think ever got was Probably a few pair of Socks and Old Spice. Even though I didn't want em, I used them. So I guess it wasn't Really that bad. Now that I'm older I usually buy my own Gifts. MEGOS & DVDs

I got a Fats Domino cd when I was 17 from my mom's boyfriend.
This was awfully strange for a young kid into punk rock and metal.
I should have bought him a Black Flag cd the next year.
Yeah ya wanna know what the ol man got me? A carton of smokes...... Oh wait that was the Breakfast Club.......Never mind
Lo there do I see my Father.
Lo there do I see my Mother and my Sisters and my Brothers.
Lo there do I see the line of my people back to the begining.
Lo they do call me.
They bid me take my place among them.

my step aunt always gave really odd stuff ... one year I got a really really poorly made homemade stuffed animal (those things that are just two parts a front and back then sewn together ... and the sticking was way way off... I think it was a test run that she gave me) ... I was like 11 or 12 years old and way out of stuffed toys lol ... WOW ... some major thought went into that gift LMAO
It's the thought that counts but when there's no thought ... a Merry Christmas works so much better.
I remember when I was little always getting old spice,chaps,brut,and three flowers hair gel from one relative.Its sucked because I hated the smell!!! Socks are also a family nightmare,but all things that I didn't want I just donated them to the less fortunate.
You want to know what my family got me one year? NOTHING... heck they even forgot and left me at home when they took the whole family to France for a holiday....... Oh wait that was Home Alone.......Never mind.

way to kick them when they're down lol lol
... I hate the smell of Chaps and brute also.
I have received re-gifted presents from relatives.
They were gifts so far from left field I don't even know what they were thinking. The dead giveaway was the remnants of a little piece of different colored wrapping paper taped to the gift.
Nothing says you care more than a gift that you receive and hate only to pass it along to someone else.

lol! my wife does the same thing,that's why I have to let her know what I want,cause she'll spent the money regardless.But on crap I don't need
Love her to bits, but my wife did/does the same thing. Luckily we don't indulge too much $$ on each other anymore. She still buys/surprises me sweaters and shirts that I don't like to wear, even after 10yrs of marriage. For instance, guys who play in bands, or need cool gig wear usually don't wear 'I-Love-Guitar'-type shirts.., as a rule.
Bless her heart, though, I know she tries. I often remark that 'gift cards' are just fine, but I know presents are more poignant.
Well my grandmother gave me a Jello ring with catfood in it....oh wait the was Christmas Vacation. I would have loved the jelly of the month club.
I actually honestly miss FRUITCAKE..!! Cheap or well-made, you can't beat a good one, toasted with butter.
I'm serious here..
Forget clothes for gifts. A few years back, some inlaws gave me a nice exotic mustard variety pack and pretzels. Excellent gift for those football gamedays.
