Social Media is on fire because of the holidays and everyone is answering the question: What’s the worst holiday gift you ever received? Check out some of the best answers below to see if you relate.
• When I was kid, I received one of those McDonald’s gift certificates “good for 1 cheeseburger” from my grandparents.
• Sometimes I don’t understand my parents. Last year, among the better gifts from others, my dad got me a flashlight and a tire gauge. Thanks Dad, this will help every time I ever need to know the PSI of my tire at 3am.
• My father-in-law is tops when it comes to cheap, horrible gifts. One year he gave me a government publication he got for free at work, something about the history of nuclear materials handling.
• Two years ago I got a musical jewelry box from my mom. I’m a 22 year old male, by the way.
• Some hick relatives from South Dakota sent me a shot glass when I was about 12.
• For Secret Santa in eighth grade I got one of those magnetic “travel” chess game boards, the kind that fold in half to keep the pieces inside and is about 6″x3″ folded up. Not too bad except that it had a big red “CLEARANCE” tag on it for 99 cents and it was opened and sealed shut again with staples. And there were no chess pieces inside.
Take note this year and do not give those things and if you know someone who just can’t get it right, share this with them. Oh, and always remove the price!
