🤯 INCRÍVEL: “A Trash Can”: 91 People Share The Absolutely Worst Christmas Gifts They’ve Ever Received 😲
Buying the perfect gift is often a lot easier said than done, but buying a truly terrible, uniquely horrible gift is, in many ways, harder. Most folks can still make use of almost anything or, at the very least, sell what they don’t like. But getting someone an item that is actually insulting in its own special way takes talent.
A woman went viral after asking the internet what the worst Christmas gift people have gotten, so we gathered the best replies. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your own tragic examples in the comments down below.
was invited to participate in the $25.00 gift exchange game at work. I got stuck with a Walmart brand sponge that had a clearance sticker on it. im still bitter
for a secret santa i was given a pack of pencils… to give to her… because she would “borrow” my pencils in first period so she could have a pencil for the rest of the day
A yard of random fabric and a heart-shaped wreath made of straw when I was like 9. I had never shown interest in any fabric crafts, and I have no clue what the wreath had to do with it.
Worst Christmas we ever had, we were barely able to scrape together a couple gifts for each kid and nothing for each other. My brother and SIL sent us a book on how to manage debt. Not gonna lie, I cried off and on the whole day…..
my catholic step-family was never good to me because I’m not catholic and was born out of wedlock. my first Christmas with them, they gave me a lump of coal. literally. in front of about 30 people. I was 10.
5 dollar Walmart t-shirt… I knew they were 5 bucks because I was wearing the same one they bought me 😁
I don’t collect pops. one year my only 2 relatives both got me the same pop because one of the only things they knew about me was I liked the show. they went shopping together and knowingly both got the same one and just insisted they were copied by the other.
A brand new, super nice crockpot. I was then told that I didn’t really need that big crockpot, so here, you take our used one and we’ll keep the nice new one.
My ex gave me a chip of paint from a coach bus he was working on because it’s expensive paint and therefore expensive gift.
my dad and his wife gave me a puzzle from a library sale- oh yeah and they aren’t sure if all the pieces are there. ALSO, a 100 things to do when you retire book… this was last xmas gift

I got a hand and stone massage gift card to use on my birthday. Birthday came, and I was excited to use it after a summer of oncology treatment. The staff told me that the person that gave me the card had already redeemed it online.
A new toilet! Literally wrapped up with a red bow and put under the tree!
lol, at Christmas with my in-laws and my MIL opens a gift from my FIL. It is a gaudy gold necklace. She barely comments on it and turns and then gives it to me. Like now if I accept it, I am adding to my MIL’s gesture of disdain towards my FIL, but if I decline it I insult her generosity!
When I was turning 15, my mom started asking me about two weeks before my birthday if I wanted an aquarium. I made it very clear. I did not want an aquarium because I did not want fish because I did not want pets because I did not want to take care of them. She asked me every day for two weeks and I very clearly said no. Guess what I got for my 15th birthday 🤦♀️it wasn’t the gift itself. It was the BS associated with it that makes it the worst.
I don’t know if this is the worst, but it did kind of suck. I bought something for myself left it at someone’s house and months later after I had forgotten about it, they gifted it to me. I asked them if it was something I had left at their house and they said no. The receipt was in the bag and it had my credit card number on it.
When I received nothing on Christmas after gifting my family everything they wanted.

A handmade coupon for a homemade dinner once a month, from my mother, for Christmas, for both me and my wife. I was in my 40s. Didn’t even get one. She claimed it was because she was broke. Turns out she was giving money to her drunkard, deadbeat neighbors.

My ex’s wealthy grandma regifted me an old lady moo moo nightgown that had a collar and cows on it. Everyone else got gift cards to restaurants or stores. There was also slippers she had already worn that had foot crust in them. Yes, foot crust.
a Homer Simpson chia pet. it was a bday gift from my ex. (I never watched the Simpsons or expressed any interest in owning a chia pet)
My grandma was a doozy when it came to gift giving. For one birthday, she gave my mom (her daughter in law) a menopause pamphlet from her doctor’s office. For one Christmas, she gave me a single mitten. Just one, and I never received the other one. Meanwhile, she always gave elaborate, lavish gifts to the relatives she liked more. We could always tell which people were her favorites. 😐
My aunt gave me a sweater that was gifted to her that she didn’t want but was too small for me.

my mom tried to give me life insurance for my 27th bday, but with her as the beneficiary, not my wife… “happy birthday, if you die i get money” 🙃 i refused to sign the forms. so she gave me eagle-engraved real silver boullions instead. equally weird.
secret Santa, there were 3, 1 was a tiny glass box you would get from the dollar tree, 2 was a glass piece of corn decor from Thanksgiving and the 3rd was a ugly brown glass vase. I was absolutely horrified that someone would think its ok to give trash as presents

For my quinceñera my godparents got my sister and I necklaces her name was spelled right my name was spelled Lisa ( my name is laisa)… my mom made me wear it for pictures, she didn’t want them to think I was ungrateful. So my quincena pictures the necklace is visible and so is my misspelled name 🤦🏻♀️
My brother gave me his old retainer wrapped up so pretty one Christmas. I was so excited he actually got me something because he never did and then the let down. I’ll never forget it. 😂
My ex husband bought me some fancy ramen noodles for my birthday…So I could make ramen for him. I didn’t even eat ramen.
The guy I was seeing, stopped by the liquor store before we were going to exchange gifts and picked me up a bottle of wine. I don’t drink wine. I got him a gift that I had bought months before that I knew he was going to love. Afterwards, I found out that the other woman he as seeing (unbeknownst to me) got some very special, heartfelt gifts. Still hurts when I think about it.
My mom promised a month in advance to take me to a rage room for my birthday. It was all I wanted, I didn’t want gifts or cake. my birthday comes, it’s ten pm, when she says “Oh yeah, it’s your birthday. Do you wanna get some food?”
I received a crock pot from my boss. I could tell it had been used cause it had dried food on the bottom if it. Yuck! I threw it away.
My aunt very proudly gave me “something so meaningful, handmade and thoughtful” from a mission trip to a country in South America ? Maybe central? I don’t remember. But I was maybe 12 at the time and the gift was quite literally a domino on a string. To this day my mom and I joke about it. I’m 31 now
My family flew across the country to visit my aunt. I turned 8 during that trip. She gave me some used office supplies (a used legal pad, some post-its and a tape dispenser). I was a polite kid and just said thank you. Then she said “ok you passed the test, you’re grateful because it’s the thought that counts. Now give them back, I need them for work”. And no, there was no follow up gift.
A stress ball from my mother in law on my birthday….
One year my aunt gave me beautiful gold hoop earings, the next year i was given a decorative bar of soap. thats it.
The year my parents forgot to get me xmas gifts and just retagged some gifts very obviously meant for my sister.
My aunt gave my brother a tv and me a box of chocolates
A large freaking TEDDY BEAR—as a 34 year old woman—for Valentine’s Day, from my husband, who was “influenced” by a radio commercial, and who knew I don’t care for Teddy Bears. Terrible Gift. He was more into the radio station than me. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I once got hair clips and slippers. They were cool but I wear a size 10 and the slippers were 7s. And I’ve never worn hair clips in my entire life 🙃 pretty sure they were extra pieces of junk my mom got with her shopping addiction
when I was 15, for my birthday, my aunt gave me 20 dollars. twenty whole dolleridoos. and told me “here. not even my grandkids get that”…. 2 weeks later, she gave me cousin(her grandkid), 100 dollars total, combined with my uncles money for my cousin, and she loved and doted all over him…. he was turning 9. and got 2 or 3 $30+ action figures of wrestlers.
1. Camping equipment. I hate camping! 2. Clothes that were tried on my short, fat, mousy cousin and never fit tall, thin, redheaded me.
