A lot of people have good intentions when it comes to gift giving, but just can’t get it quite right. Hence, we end up with sweaters that are too small or shower gel in a scent we wouldn’t lather on our pets.
These gifts -- known to some as "white elephant" gifts -- are the ones you can’t even re-gift. Your only hope for release is that a friend will host a white elephant party which encourages guests to bring their lame present to pass off on someone else.
Did you get something this year that was a complete waste of money and perfectly good wrapping paper? Come on, readers, spill it. We want to hear if you received a crappy gift and, if so, what is it?
Yep, I received a lame gift. Sure, the gift-giver had great intentions, but I could barely conceal my horror when I opened this gift. I would have preferred a straw rooster.
Nope, I got everything I wanted. Kudos to the gift-givers in my life for buying me really practical and / or perfect gifts. I must have been particularly nice this year.
