clothes...everytime people buy me clothes, they buy clothes that they would wear. I never end up wearing them, I always end up giving them to thrift stores or shelters
I think that most people give gifts to others with some feeling attached with that gift, so i accept all my gifts with the same feeling for each of them.....
A duck on a keychain. From my long-term boyfriend. As my birthday present.
He bought himself a snowboard that day.
Toilet paper! It was Christmas and some of my students had parents who sent me gifts. Most were small but nice personal things. When I opened the toilet paper, I couldn't believe it. I assumed the parent meant it as a gift for the classroom, but I thought it tacky of them to send it in the guise of being a personal gift to me. I never forgot it, especially considering all of the extra time and effort I had put in to helping their son.
One year subscription of recipe book on my birthday. Do a boy require a kind of recipe book!
When I was about 9 or 10 I received a pair of boxing gloves from my nan, not exactly the most fitting present for a girl. However that didnt really matter because they were for ages 2-4 so there was no chance I was going to fit into them. Ended up going totally unused, gave them to a charity shop in the end
Once I received a pair of size 2 womens house slippers for Christmas. I am a 6 foot tall 211 pound man with size 12 feet.
a lage box with a sweet inside - it was a joke, but not funny!

What is the most inappropriate or offensive gift you have ever received?Obviously when receiving a gift you should do so gracefully and gratefully. That said, sometimes we receive gifts that offend or are not appropriate. A female friend received some wrinkle-cream for a gift while she was only in...
