O wow, this series has been on my wishlist after reading some enthusiastic reviews about it.
At the office we always get presents at Sinterklaas, not for Christmas, and I would love to have a traditional “kerstpakket” instead of the horrible presents we get. Some examples: a basket filled with appels. I hate apples. And after eating them, you could use the basket for your magazines. Well, not my kind of thing. Traded it for a leather notebook holder.
A curly haired teddybear. Gave it to my sister
A very ugly but expensive shoulder bag in hot pink and red. Gave it away.
Do I need to go on? I’ve worked here for 21 years now …
Well, since I don’t celebrating christmas, I don’t think I can answer the question. But I hope I still can entering the giveaway.
Thank u for this giveaway
I was once given a big box that my Dad struggled to lift and hand over to me. To my suprise it was very light and when I opened it a helium filled balloon floated out with a voucher for a hit air balloon ride attached at the end of the string! I’d always wanted to go for a ride in one and the drama of a heavy/light box really threw me! Great fun though! 🙂
Oh this is funny…the worst christmas gift I was given was called Box O Sox…and it was well,,,,a box of socks. There were 12 pair in the box. I really thought it was a gag gift so I was looking under the socks for the real gift and felt like an a$$ when I realized this was the gift. Thankfully my brother didn’t notice I was looking under the socks, he just thought I was looking at all the different colors of socks in the box. lol

Thanks for the giveaway! Haven’t heard of this series, but it sounds awesome!
The worst gift I ever got was a bottle of white musk aerosol perfume (the kind you get from walgreens/dollar store) that my BF’s brother gave me 2 years ago. Smelled horrible and I think it was expired. I threw it away discretely 🙂
Happy Holidays!

Another series for my wishlist!
The worst was an ironing board, to go with the iron my sister passed on when I moved out of my parents. The passed on iron was unused and still is.
The ironing board is useful though. The cats use it as a launching pad.

The worst was a vacuum that didn’t have any suction.
I have a copy of The Egyptian on my TBR list – need to move it up! Can’t remember worst or best gift.
I was once given a pump container of plain hand soap by my aunt when I was a teenager – not sure why but my family still groans about that one! 🙂

It was in high school. At the last minute (and I mean very last minute) my friend talked me into going to her church’s Christmas party, in which I had to participate in the secret gift exchange. I didn’t have a gift and she (BFF that she was) talked me into wrapping up a construction cone I had in my bedroom. Yeah, an actual cone “borrowed” from a road construction site. (Statute of Limitations apply here, right?) She said it would be a good joke gift. So I wrapped it up in a big box and off we went. Now the way they did the gifting was to sit in a big circle and each person, one by one, would pick a gift. A gift could then be stolen by someone else later down the circle. Fine, no problem. But who should happen to pick my gift but the pastor’s 10-year-old daughter who was brought along to the party! Now, there is NO WAY I’m going to let a 10-year-old unwrap a construction cone so I ended up stealing it back and hoping no one stole it away from me. No one did. I ended up with the construction cone back in my bedroom. (Note: I later “returned” the cone to another road construction site.)
A Kindle was the best gift I got for Christmas since I love reading so much. Please enter me in contest. Tore923@aol.com
I don’t think I have every actually gotten a terrible gift. I always figure that as long of the giver tried, I feel blessed that they thought of me!
