A few years ago my father bought my wife an Atlanta Falcons throw blanket. She loved it. The next year, she got the exact same blanket.
Well one Christmas my mom gave me a robe, why do I need a robe? What am I a 50 year old that likes to go outside with sleep still in my eyes to go grab the paper?
Was it a bathrobe? I love my bathrobe, I can walk around the house in the morning and I'm not cold! Comfortable tooNannernade said:

Not sure on a bad present as I can't really remember any bad ones so I'll have to leave it at that.

I think the worst thing I ever got was a Washington Capitals hat from a friend as a joke. Being the Penguins fan I am, I promptly burned it after scratching Ovechkin on it.
But yeah, I know my friend two years ago got an eviction notice from his parents (I know, weird way of saying get the hell out of out of here).

I get a feeling I'll get another Victorinox knife this year from my dad. Or any other piece of survival gear. There aren't many opportunities to go on death-defying adventures here...
It's useful, I know. It's practical. It's also of high quality. But if I don't find much use for it, I don't really need it.

OT: I've never hated a gift. Even if it is the dumbest thing ever, I appreciate the thought behind it and use it later in life.
I actually enjoy the occasional bunch of socks and "bad-pattern'd jumper" because the first is a very useful commodity when you somehow work through socks at a rate of knots. The second is just a lovely real-life cliché
a desk calender, showcasing the wonders of the interwebs, pages circa 1995. i got the present last year lol
I define bad gift as a gift that was purchased because it was cheap, not because it would be a good gift for me. When I was smaller, I of course resisted clothes, but that's because I had basic pattern recognition skills and could remember every time I received new clothes when it was NOT Christmas, and assume that my relatives were cheaping out and getting me things I was going to receive anyway. Now I treasure clothes I receive for Christmas because finding pants/shoes in my size is either impossibly difficult or ludicrously expensive.
I also detest 'implication' gifts. Like the rake someone else mentioned. "Oh, so for Christmas, you got me a job. Thanks." I also remember seeing a TV show where this woman was anorexic (IDK what kind, the kind where you eat all the time), so she was pretty hefty. What does she get for Christmas and her birthday? Coupons for gyms/Jenny Craig. That's pretty shitty.
Worst gift I've ever received though -- I got this blue fleece thing one year. It wasn't that I didn't wear fleeces, or was allergic to them or anything -- the problem was that in order to get around the embarrassment of my family having to take it on the chin financially from both my parents losing their jobs, we suggested a gift rotation thing -- I forget what it's called, everyone puts names in a hat, and whoever you pull out is who you buy the gift for -- and everything (like the fleece) that my uncle's immediately family gave to everyone else had the distinct odor of them all passing their gift-buying duties to my aunt and letting her do it. Way to support us, ya cockbags. I was especially pissed because I busted my ass on research to find out what to get my paternal grandfather.

When I was a little kid and people got me Barbies. I have never been a girl who was interested in Barbies. People learned that pretty quickly.
Yeah; funny thing is, he changed his mind right after. It was a turbulent time for young, naive me. He was also seeing somebody else. Man, did I feel loved.AmayaOnnaOtaku said:
