    Inappropriate presents

    Just for a bit of fun - has anyone recieved (or given ) presents which were totally wrong?

    One I remember is a few years ago when I went in Kris Kringle at work - and I recieved a book on astrology.
    I have absolutely zero interest in astrology - but afterwards giver came up to me -I knew you would like it, I know you love reading.

    As if loveing reading meant I would love a book on just any random topic Ummm, Okaaay

    Hope you gave it back to MIL lucy?

    I can't remember ever getting anything that I did'nt like although surely there must have been something & as for me giving I really try hard to choose something that the person will be very happy with. If it is someone i feel close to I like to at times give something for keeps (something special that they will treasure) If I did'nt know the person very well as in SS or the likes I would not buy anything personal as in 'perfume, Make up, jewellery or that type of thing I think i would try to stick to something that was something I knew that most people would be happy to look at, I will have a think to see if there was anything I was given & did not like

    Re: Inappropriate presents

    At 19 my grandmother gave me a pair of used (stained) knickers from Vinnies (their throw-away pile) which I opened in front of my boyfriend of the time. I think it was about then that he chose to run far far away. Apart from that I've loved whatever people have chosen to buy for me.

    Re: Inappropriate presents

    My MIL one christmas gave me a twin pack of Palmolive gold soap wrapped up in Christmas paper she was a bit tight with money but that one took the cake..everyone who knows me knows I don't drink so I hate it when they give me a bottle of wine for a present hubby doesn't drink wine so I usually have to give it away.
