Thanks to everyone who entered our ‘Worst Christmas Gift Ever’ contest.’  After reading all of the entries, we actually feel sorry for everyone who submitted their bad gift stories. I mean, do your families and friends actually care about you?

Here are a few favorites that just missed the cut:

One year I got nothing! I’m 1 of 10 kids and somehow I was forgotten on Christmas but everyone else had a gift under the tree so to make up for it my mother wrapped up one of her oven mitts (and acted like she had it in her room the whole time)because she thought I liked to help her cook… Needless to say I have never forgotten my kids on Christmas! – andy b.

potato skewer set—–we are a family of 3. It would make 1 potato at a time in 45 minutes and had at least 20 parts to wash. We could microwave the potatoes on a plate for 10 minutes. It had a clearance price on it for $1.oo, Would have preferred to give them a dollar – emily

Several years ago an aunt of mine (who flaunts money) gave my husband and me a gift that was in a large black velvet box. We were curious as to what she could have possibly gotten us. Very carefully I removed the large Oriental horse from the box. It was the ugliest, useless thing I have ever seen. I don’t even want to think about where she may have bought it. Perhaps a 3rd or 4th hand store. Needless to say, it did not make it home with us. – billie

And the winner….

My grandmother got me a dirty cowbell for Christmas. It was pretty big. I have no idea why she gave it to me, at the time I was 17 year old high school girl..why would I need a cowbell? I didn’t live on a farm.. – melanie

Congrats to Melanie! She’ll be receiving a LSU Tigers Grill Topper Set!
