Sometimes I look at presents people give to each other and think , what a waste of money this is going to go into dumpster or garage or storage . I might be wrong .
Have you received a present which you thought was silly , useless or meaningless ?
P. S: Ya I know , I know it is the thought that counts , but we are all humans , you know.

mirch but whats the type of thought that goes behind giving crappy presents.
so the one that takes the cake so far, as a kid, my wife got a birthday present from one of her dad's pals, guess what it was :D
a glass ashtray from some hotel he had stayed at. so not only did it make no sense to give a child an ashtray, it was stolen from some hotel room on top of it.
I have received presents that I wonder, like a 15 32-33 shirt, its like dude..does it look like my neck can fit in a 15 collar, or my arms in a 32-33 sleeve. that goes straight in donation bin
Oh boy , I am glad I opened this thread , at first I was skeptical and thought people will beat the hell off me that is why I had to use a disclaimer in my P.S.

i hate the bath products and lotions I get!
I just pile them up and donate them to Goodwill. Some people are so cheap.
Re: Is there a thing like useless present ?
Well sometimes people get carried away by imposing what suits their fancy rather than what you may like. In that case, the gift becomes useless.
Just an FYI, I love jewelry, shoes (for size you can PM me), and perfumes and handbags. I also loveeeeeeeeeee good quality chocolate.
Now don’t say I never told ya!
