Buying Christmas gifts can be tricky, especially if you don't have those personalized letters that Santa does. Which is why people often, lets put it this way, don't precisely meet the gift ideas receivers had in mind. But hey, at least we could get a good laugh out it.
From giving an amputee a pair of socks and a cat toy to the least favorite grandchild to such funny gifts as nurses gown as a dress and shredded cheese packs, this list has all the worst Christmas gifts ideas. Luckily, most of them were met in good humor!
Below you'll find a list, inspired by mrsik187, of the most unique Christmas gifts people have ever received. Take a look, feel free to add your own awful gifts to the list and hopefully this year you've been good enough to deserve a proper secret Santa gift!

I cant stop laughing about this one. (And, man, do I need a good laugh at the moment)
Why didn't they just pack up all the socks into one package? I don't know, my grandma has the same thoughts about getting you to open a bunch of stuff so you "feel like you're getting more". I say, it's just a waste of paper, since ultimately I'll just have a bunch of small things anyway, and I'm an adult, so I don't get much joy from simply ripping into presents!
Is it her whole legs or just up to the knees? Because if its not her whole leg I have seen people who got their leg(s) amputated up to the knee(s) and they still wear socks. 0.o
I feel like you'd need bigger socks than usual.

Now, THAT is BAD !!! WE WOULD LOVE to hear what BOTH of their reactions were; Grandma's when she OPENED them, and ESPECIALLY the AUNTS when she realized what she had DONE ???
That really is awful; is this aunt her daughter, daughter in law, or sister of an in law?
Your'e aunt probably never noticed that your grandma's legs were missing, since her health had improved your aunt, in her wisdom might have thought she'd grown another pair of legs
how far up were they amputated? I mean, not the best gift but maybe aunt thought that they'r help keep the remaining stumps warm or something. *Trying really hard to be charitable*
I got a block of cement formed from a 5 gallon bucket, skiing with a crappy little rock hammer. After months of chipping away I finally found the one thing entombed within... A better rock hammer. :/
My grandpa was convinced that the nurses were stealing and moving his TV remote....which he called the "modulator"
A friend recently asked me if he should buy his wife a tree for Christmas, as a memorial to her dead mum........ NOOOOOOOOOOO was my reply.
Last Christmas my aunt,not to be rude but really puts absolutely no thought into her gifts whatsoever gave me a little 100 piece puzzle that I could do before i even started school and learned how to read and right. I'm 25 now. The box even read recommended for ages 6-10. My mother didn't find funny and sent straight back to her and told her sister she must get me something more age appropriate. Thanks a lot.
“Must” get you something more age appropriate?” Or she could have gotten you NOTHING-what you and your mother deserve.

You should be happy to even get presents in one week I've lost my job and didn't get paid for the work I did for a whole month which got me to getting evicted from apartment and my dog is dieing in front of me and can't afford to put him out of him out of his misery or a way t o get him there because my car is broke.so in a happy you get presents and be happy you have a home and people who care
One time we got a used board game (clearly from their closet) and another time I got a math textbook.
Used to get deodorant or Christmas when I was a preteen. Made me feel like I wasn't using enough of it or something, really self conscious.
I got a 6-pack of soda and 2 bags of snacks with nuts (he likes nuts, I don't). Grocery store food for Christmas. I got him a snowblower.
my aunt-in-law once gave me an IOU for one napkin off of my wedding registry... for Christmas. one. cloth. napkin.
Surprised I didn't see Grandma_Is_Satan (me) because I've some terrible gifts that Reddit now knows about (none were from grandma)
