The un-wanted xmas present thread

[FARGO]

I think people would rather know they have gifted something you like/would use rather than something that will sit in a cupboard, never to be seen again.

Especially if the original gift is too big/too small/already have one/wouldn't use it/couldn't use it.

Some chili & lime chocolate, just why? That sounds disgusting.

Also got other bits of tat but mostly a decent haul.

I got a class 4 8gb micro SD card which I'm going to struggle to use and an electric toothbrush (already got one).

That's the problem with technology gifts. You have to be upfront about it really on what you want spec-wise. Thankfully my parents and step-parents took on board what I wanted and bought me two class 10 64GB microSDXC cards to go in my Sammy S4 and Tab 3 10.1.

Not really had many 'awful' / unsuitable presents myself. Socks can get overdone though, think everyone have been there, done that, got the t-shirt (and socks lol).

I got **** all, literally, talk about ungrateful.

Not wanting something isn't ungrateful . I pretended I loved all my gifts and it is the thought that counts, but it still wont get used, thus is unwanted. I'm still grateful to have loving family that picked it out thinking I would like it.

I got a ghost chilli chocolate from my sister as payback for the Beanboozled jelly beans I got her for her birthday. Again unwanted, but i'll try a little bit. Not going to eat the whole thing as I have seen the youtube videos of people doing it and it doesnt look like fun lol.

Of course, that isn't ungrateful. It's the people who are sending gifts back to people or complaining that their present list demands weren't met who are getting called ungrateful.

Skinny jeans. After a discussion with a friend some time ago about how I always wear straight or flared jeans, he threatened to get me skinny ones for Christmas. I totally forgot. He didn't.

Im not ungratefull but I dont like it when I say I dont want anything, please dont get me anything and even say Im not getting anything for you either so dont bother they still get me some rubbish that no one in their right mind wants.
I will take almost all to the charity shop as Im not 6 year old girl and I dont really like pink at all and have no space for weird ornaments etc. Yet I have to pretend I loved my presents even tho I said I didnt want anything. More than once.

I also got a dehumidifier which was nothing I even suggested of wanting and when my partners mum asked what I want I said nothing and if you really cant just not give anything then gift card for the sales or something like that.
But then my partner went and told them our little one broke and suddenly it was a perfect gift to give to me... Not to him though he got things he actually like even after saying he doesnt want anything

It is funny though and next year I might hint that he wants a cooking book and some other kitchen stuff (he doesnt cook at all).

mum got me a camping chair "for festivals"......which would be great except I bought one at bloodstock this year, and have very little space to keep stuff like that....

my brother told me he owes me a present, as he was gonna get me a bottle a Jagermeister, but Morrison's wouldn't accept his ID (UK driving license, he's 26, and has a beard.......)
