Pretty straightforward, folks:  What's the lamest gift you've ever received.

A nail grooming kit from my father.

The first thing I said was "Gee, what will I get next year, deoderant?"

I got two collectible die-cast WW2 planes the next year.

My friends like to get me novelty presents.  Previous years I got coloring book and children's bible activity sets.  This year was (strange coincidence Curval) women's deodorant.

Not given to me, but most lame gift EVER was given to  my younger brother by our dad.

My brother was 16 and had his first for car for awhile . We are all opening gifts on Christamas morning and everyone got some descent stuff........except Kenny.

Kenny received a hand written note from dad that read: "New interior for your car"

The "new interior for the car" never materialised and nobody ever talks about it. :lol .......well, once in awhile my other brothers and I  bring it up so we can have a laugh and rib him about it.

That was the most lame gift I have even seen. :D

It's pry because no one liked you.

I got a hermit crab once, and it was the worst present ever. I hate crabs, even when served with steaming side of garlic butter. It got flushed soon after.

 It just wasn't a Sizzlers Fat track with 2 cars, or an Evel Knievel stunt bike or the Scramble Van with a jump.

Sadly, this was recent...a year or two

I dont know why or how but my parents had bought me some nice LL Bean sweatshirts...and had my initials monogramed on all 5.  She told me the operator suggested it.  I was polite as I could be but i reminded her some time later (when asked why i never wore them) than I hadnt worn anything with my initials since i was in 1st Grade.

It's actually the same one sent over and over and over again, re-gifted and passed along to the next victim each year.

The last one actually produced has been traced back to 1958, I think.
