What is the best/worst gift you have received?

[hbk4894]

For me

Best - a ps4

Worst six cans of pepsi

[Dollface]

Best - a puppy

Worst - honestly nothing, if it was a gift obviously the person that bought it for me thought it was something i'd like, i appreciate even little presents like bath sets and books

Best - tickets to florida + spending money, in a xmas card. My parents had split up and both tried to outdo each other on the first xmas. Dad won :laugh:

Worst - A new (brand, at the time) mobile phone. Sounds great eh. Until you find out it was purchased from some randomer in a bar for 40 quid and turned out to be ****ing stolen and I was threatened with the police when I tried to get it unlocked to my network :( I am ashamed to say I quite literally ran away without saying anything and left the phone in the hand of the bewildered guy who had checked it and found it was nicked.

Best ~ The gift Of Life

Worst ~ Syphilis

[LukeB]

Best - I don't really have a best because I love each gift the same really.

Worst - none like them all.

Best - my first laptop, for my 18th before I went to Uni. This was 13 years ago of course, when laptops weren't dime-a-dozen so it was a pretty big deal for someone who had only up until that point had a 2nd hand desktop with 15" CRT monitor :joker:. Either that or Mighty Max - Skull Mountain!! Yeeeaaah...!!

WORST... and only because of context, not lack of gratitude... I got £30 in a card from my dad for my 30th birthday. And why this sort of stung in context, is that for my sister's 30th she had a meal out... but she lives on an island... so on top of her present (which was worth more than £30 anyway) he would have spent at least £400 on her birthday (travel, hotel, meal etc.) but, really, it's also the effort involved and the fact that he actually bought a gift.

Three £10 notes. Such loved.

Best - My computer
Worst - Summer clothes that I was encouraged to wear on Christmas day

Oh :omgno: that's some deep seated sibling jealousy you need some counselling to address that :bawling:

[Vicky.]

The sibling thing. I got 20 quid in a card for my birthday a few years back. My sister was taken to Spain on holiday. Yup. Lovely.

:/ that's s**tty

[caprimint]

Best - £2,000
Worst - Coathangers

[Vicky.]

:/ that's s**tty

The reasoning (I did question it, ungrateful me eh :laugh: ) was that I had been on holiday that year and she hadn't. Totally ignoring the fact that we scrimped and saved and paid for our own holiday as we wanted to take the kids away. Meanwhile she chose not to have a holiday but have loads of days out instead...so basically, because I chose to priorities a holiday over day trips and such...she was rewarded with a free holiday D:

My mom is always pretty fair with us, she's never taken any of us on holiday for our birthdays though :laugh: Actually I took my daughter away to London for her birthday this year but it was her 16th and Luke got loads of other stuff for his

It's not sibling jealousy really. £30 in a generic card seems like a bit of a statement on its own.

[Crimson Dynamo]

i hate getting presents tbh and I hate buying them unless I know exactly what the person wants. This is why the impending TL birthday is a royal pain in my ass :fist:

Think yourself lucky, I don't think i even got a present from my dad for my 30th :laugh: I used to get presents from him and my mom when they were still married but when they split up I only got them from my mom .........strangely enough :think:

Book a weekend away somewhere nice as a present

[Kyle]

Worst ~ Syphilis

Ungrateful twat :fist:

Best for me is probably a PS1 as a kid. My Mum and Dad weren't very well off and I didn't deserve it but I had so many memories from that thing.

Worst, like others have said I don't think I could say because at the end of the day a gift is a gift and I wouldn't wanna sh*t on it even if it wasn't what I wanted.

I'm not in any way relating my story as some sort of explanation to yours but sometimes people just give me money in a card cos I'm finicky and people don't know what to get me. My sister is much easier to buy for.

a whole weekend?

what kind of madness

a night then tut

[Vicky.]

Oh. Another terrible one was a tellytubbies t-shirt at 15 years old. My sister got the same at 12 (same year)

Brother got one too (suspect this is why we got one) but he was only 5...so understandable and a good idea considering he was into that then.

Even worse, mine was aged 8-9, my sisters was aged 6-7 :umm2:
