My ex gave me this weird vibrating pillow for our anniversary. I gave him a Harley.

I think you should get her a rubber wedge doorstop. Just to let her know that it isn't her that has to keep doors open for you.

Two gifts stand out in my memory - the first year we were together (not married yet) my second husband came in late and drunk on Christmas eve and thrust a pink fluffy 'gonk' at me - those toys you win at fairgrounds, basically a ball of fluff with paper eyes. That was it for gifts that year! And I actually married him! But he was more generous in later years.
And a friend once gave me a ceramic Mickey Mouse holder for kitchen utensils. Unbelievably horrid. Sorry all Mickey fans.

My step-mum got my sister anti-cellulite cream a couple of years ago. She was the skinniest she's ever been, without a dimple in sight... needless to say Jenna wasn't too happy.
I always get tacky gifts from my step-mum. Like disgusting candles, and I am a candle lover but she just buys tat. My Dad is obviously not in charge when it comes to buying presents as me and Jenna get the same things, no imagination used whatsoever.
For my 21st Birthday I got the most enormous, hideous jewellery box from my Step-mums parents (tackyness runs in their family) I said I didnt want or need one when they suggested it but they got me one anyway. Its massive, it has 2 big glass doors on the front and plays music.
If I was a little older Im sure I'd appreciate it but it wasn't built for 21 years olds taste...
Last Christmas they gave me a set of 5 'briefs' in all different colours and they said 'kids' on them. I just laughed. I need to buy a set of drawers to keep all the presents they buy me in....
Oh well its the thought that counts
oh I also got a horse video, looked similar to black beauty but not, from my step mums Aunt in canada for my 21st.

Last year from my Godparents, I got an old, very used, cookbook
It was from like the 1970's....granted it had some good reciepes, it wasn't in very good shape, and like I said b4, it was VERY used, haha!

and from Abbysmom-$5 from 3 people for your wedding gift! I certainly hope you used McDonalds for your caterer, and served chicken mcnuggets, other wise they didn't even come close to covering what you spent on their food!
I did get an old pot and a clothes pin as a gift for my first wedding, but it was from a dear family friend who everyone knew was a drunk and broke. And we were going to be living in a trailer for the next two months, with no running water and only an outhouse! So the "chamberpot" was meant to be funny!
My sis in law is always broke, but I still thought it was very tacky to purchase Christmas gifts at Aldi, a discount grocery store. One year she got her Mom about 99 cents worth of peanut brittle. Her Mom got her a new TV that year! LOL!
Now thats what i would call a bitchy present!
A a couple of years ago one of our older Sisters gave me a box of tampons, all wrapped up with a lovely bow. She thought I might "need" them more than her.
It was a few years ago and was a container of bath beads...I love bath beads that wasn't the problem it was that when I took the wrapping off I found a tag addressed to the person who gave it to me!!..turns out she recieved it the year before and didn't like it so she gave it to me..darn regifter!!
I know!!! I we love her
Hissy, my mother ACTUALLY wants a chia pet for christmas
Excuse me for asking, what is a Chia Pet?
Chia pets are little clay-like animals or shapes of animal's heads that you soak in water, and place these grass or moss seeds on them and the grass-stuff grows out of it. I guess they are ok? But I would never give one as a gift, but it looks like I am this year
In the days of yore, Jason's brother and father bought him 3 bottles of liquor each, and a breathylizer test. Talk about poor taste! However, he was in college and they would have been very useful at the time, sad to say.
Amusingly, he doesn't drink anymore. I told him we should get the same for his father and brother this year.

Does it count the time that I had a window on my car broken in November, so for Christmas my MIL bought me "The Club" for Christmas?

ummmmm I think they could still break a window even if this is on the steering wheel!
