Did anyone get anything weird, gross, horrible, stupid?
DH got a gift set of Axe from FIL. He HATES Axe.
I got a gift set of Charlie from FIL. It smells horrible.
I don't know why FIL bothers. I'd rather have nothing than a sh!tty gift. We all know he doesn't have any money.
Re: Worst gifts?
sMIL always gives us girls the same thing. This year, we got a schitty music box.
And Shrimpy's started making beaded jewelry (which she apparently wants to sell on Etsy), so I got a craptastic necklace that I'll probably never wear. (Nevermind we told them repeatedly that we did.not.want.any.gifts.)
High decibel snoring from a phlegmy, congested hubby with hacking attacks early in the AM.
Does that count?
Not really. I got a "pot of gold" chocolate assortment from MIL's bf that was head-scratch worthy.
H ended up with Icehouse beer. LOL.

I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929
SILs were both a little fvck effort with my gifts this year - one got a christmas trinket, the other got some handmade soap set. BIL got me a yankee candle set, which would be nice except I have a feeling the pine scent will give me a massive headache.
I was wondering if i was a last minute thought this year due to the problems with DH.
Uh... not really. I mean, initially I scratched my head at the gift from FI's parents (a nativity set) but I'll probably put it out.
I got an old lady sweater from SIL. It's black with big, gold buttons.
Speaking of dumb gifts, please to be telling me you FINALLY got your Secret Satan gift?
mom gave me a pink quartz bracelet with the word "LOVE" on a dangle heart charm. no, i do not love all heart jewelry. it was a waste of her money.
she also got DH a sweater made out of that shiny squishy material that companies make gloves and scarfs out of.
my brother gave me a vera bradley pocket photo book.
other than that, we both got great gifts.
