** Post your most HORRIBLE gift ideas **

[Sparkly]

A challenge: Google something like "Novelty Gifts," find the dumbest or tackiest gift idea you can, and post it here.

I'm torn between the catapult spoon ("Watch your food take flight!") ....

...and the singing toilet paper ("Plays a medley of Christmas tunes").

1. Sarah Palin's Going Rogue.

I win! :rofl:

Good to see you, Sparkly. :hi:

[Sparkly]

3. Aw, too easy!! But how about the Sarah Palin 2009 Calendar?

http://www.amazon.com/JudyPatrick-Photography-Sarah-Palin-Calendar/dp/B001HWKAVE

If you give it for Christmas, the recipient can use it for six days then quit it. ;) :hi:

[hippywife]

5. LOL!

You're right. That was too easy. You definitely trumped me with the calendar. :rofl:

[Bertha Venation]

30. LOL

:rofl:

[HopeHoops]

2. About 20 years ago, I gave my father-in-law a 3" cork labeled "From the EPA"

He got the joke and spent months showing it to people, "See what my no good son of a bitch son-in-law got me for Christmas!"

It was one of his favorite gifts ever.

[Fleshdancer]

4. Sooo horrible but SOOOO funny:

STD toys!

[Sparkly]

6. Great answer to the question, "So what did your husband/wife give you?"

Or even, "So what did you get from Santa this year?" :rofl:

[hippywife]

7. Okay, let's try this one.

Marie Antionette "action" figure with removeable dress and "ejector" head. :rofl:

[Sparkly]

8. Oh, excellent!!

:rofl:

[mtnester]

24. I'm sorry, this looks like a great fun gift!

I see the perverse in everything, so this would be funnier than hell to get

[ChickMagic]

35. That's awesome!

:rofl:

9. My best friend and I try to outdo each other every year

with the most terrible gifts. I gave him a poopette in the shape of a gargoyle which he still has. Another time I found an atrocious picture at goodwill of an actual couple who had donated their frame with their picture still in it, I signed it love Bill and Donna. Richard Simmons exercise albums, tacky candles, etc.

He's the winner though. He shipped me a Christmas box, that had to go through customs and be opened up, which contained a three foot tall Chuckie doll (from the horror movie fame) with a neck brace on.

[Sparkly]

10. Too funny!

Any ideas for this year?

[theNotoriousP.I.G.]

12. He's coming over here to Germany for Christmas

and I'm buying him a garden gnome and a cheap baby stroller. We're taking that little fucker with us to Italy, Austria, all around town and he's taking pictures for his family. I might just be the winner this year!

[Sparkly]

13. Very creative!!

:D

[Capn Sunshine]

11. well, this thing is pretty fucked up here

conversation stopper at the holiday party at least.

[Sparkly]

14. So wrong

in so many ways. lol

[Manifestor_of_Light]

42. Very very wrong.

I'm no christian, but I see that stuff as just rude and immature.

I'm in favor of privacy and the right to own sex toys but those are extremely tacky.

[XemaSab]

28. You totally win

I was sitting out in the yard today thinking that those might be the worst possible thing to go the ER with. x(

There's something that will guarantee laughs for the next decade. Not your laughs, but someone's laughs for sure. x(

[SoxFan]

31. Probably be a hit in the DU religion forum

[Quantess]

15. A Viagra notepad and pen caddy

True story. I found it at a thrift store, and bought it, thinking it would be a funny gag gift. But the more I thought about it, the more I realized that I knew NOBODY for whom that would be even a marginally appropriate gag gift.

[Sparkly]

17. Ha! I can understand that.

I once bought a birthday card designed for a sister, with the basic message, "Mom dressed you funny -- you can stop now." Then I realized not one of my sisters would actually find that funny.

Some things just seem like a good idea until you get past the cash register, I guess. :)

18. Totally pukeworthy!!

36. Hey!

I have, and use, a titanium spork! I'm such a nerd.

It's a sequel, of course, to

21. These are AWESOME, especially the catapult spoon!

Of course, I once gave my father a piggy bank shaped like butt cheeks that makes farting noises when you slip in a coin, and it was a huge hit. I'm probably not an ideal focus group participant.

[rocktivity]

22. Are you FOR Paul Hodes, or AGAINST him?

:rofl:

25. We've gotten a lot of mileage out of this:

Many applications.

[LiberalEsto]

33. Oh God, I need one for the turkey!

Imagine stuffing one in the cavity and hitting the control button just as you start carving.
Maybe next year.

[begin_within]

37. Excellent idea.

I've actually made it into a musical instrument by singing "Let There Be Peace On Earth" but substituting the fart for particular words, such as Peace, etc. "Let me (pfft) with my Brother, in perfect harmony..."

[AsahinaKimi]

23. I really think this is terrible..

[LearnedHand]

26. Cock-a-doodle memo pad

http://www.tressugar.com/2553392?page=0,0,3 -- I shit you not

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

27. There have been a few.

There was the singing Billy Bass.

However I think the best one was the epilady? It was an electric device that literally pulled the hair of of a woman's leg. Wonder how many guys were cut off after getting their significant other one of these?

[AllenVanAllen]

29. Everyone I know is getting a set.

32. Michelle Bachman action figure!!

[ChickMagic]

34. A case of this

[ChickMagic]

38. Since I killed the thread, I'll add another

Remote Control Hopping, Yodelling Lederhosen

[Sparkly]

39. "Is that a remote in your lederhosen or are you just..." oh, never mind.

Too easy.

(Who thinks of these inventions, anyway?!?)

[arbusto_baboso]

40. I once brought back a Don Ho Memorial Tiki Mug from Oahu for a friend.

We have tacky gift exchanges and try to outdo one another. I won that year.

[Sparkly]

41. Is your friend "TheNotoriousP.I.G.," who posted above?

:D

[arbusto_baboso]

43. No, but I can see why you would say that.
