It wasn't that bad, but it had no play value. When I was ten, I got a Major Matt Mason "Space Ball" which was a ball pulled around by a tractorlike vehicle. I never got into it.Originally Posted by Farmgate
I loved Major Matt Mason stuff back in the day.
The space crawler thingie was awesome.
Don't remember the space ball thing though.

My Grandmother, may she rest in peace, used to give us the tackiest gifts. One year she gave us shampoo bottles she stole from a hotel, and peanut bags from the airplane she rode to said hotel.Originally Posted by gort
My grandmother would give us heavily discounted VHS tapes. I believe these are the last two I received... in 2007.

True story:
The tradition in our family is to draw names from a hat so that we only give/receive one gift. My father drew my great-grandmother's name. She was suffering from severe memory loss.
Rather than spend money on a gift because "she's not going to remember what it is or who gave it to her anyway," my father got her...
a bag of potato chips.
The rest of the family was, of course, horrified. I pointed out to my dad later that while my great grandmother may not remember who gave her the worst gift ever, everyone else will.

i hate reading these replies of worst xmas gifts. brings back dark memories of relatives who dont give a **** about their brother's (my dad) wife who they always tried to have divorce. they're paying for it now in various ways while my mom and i are pretty well off and happy. ha!

A brown polyester turtle neck long sleeved top when I was 11 it was the perfect gift for an Australian summer. No wonder I ended up in therapy

I have an aunt with more than her share of personal problems, and she means well, but she gives us medleys of dollar store stuff, variety store junk that rarely worked out of the box, weird things. She didn't re-gift or give us free ****, but she'd waste twenty bucks on my sister and I on useless stuff year after year, rather than give us money.

My grandma bought me the Langoliers on VHS two years ago.Originally Posted by DM489
She also gave me 5 $25 gift cards to Home Depot a few years prior to that. They were unactivated.
