Since we're all decorating (and photographing for the Gumbo Writer's contest...right?) our Christmas trees and thinking about what we'll get all the special people on our lists this year, I have a burning desire to know the worst gift YOU ever got.
Was it a mod wide tie sorta like the one pictured above? A dollar store hard-as-a-rock nasty fruitcake? A re-gifted item totally unlike anything you might desire or want, with the price or gift tag with someone else's name left on it? Something befitting a 3-year-old? Something so ugly and horrific you didn't know whether to laugh or cry?
Spill the beans -- inquiring minds really do wanna know! I promise not to laugh (too loudly) when you reveal your worst Christmas gift ever. And since I'm all about turnabout being fair play, below you will feast your eyes upon not one but two (2) such items I received when I was in my late 30s; from the same person, just a few years apart. Item #1, the handy household helper, was not nearly so subdued in color. Rather, it was a bright (eye-blinding) puce green model and much larger in stature than the one pictured. Item #2 is an exact model down to the very brand name.
