Actually, my MIL used to hate my guts for some reason. Oh, yeah I forgot. I told her to mind her own **** business However, since my son was born and my wife almost bled to death from a burst eptopic pregnancy, she has been good to me. One year though, she gave me the ugliest purple flannel shirt I have ever seen. It went to goodwill
My wife doesn't speak to her mother or step mom either. But, one year before it went sour my MIL gave me a ugly painted skillsaw blade...yahhh what I always wanted
I got this one won hands down. I can't keep track of all the lousy gifts I've gotten over the years fro my In laws but here's what I can recall. A pair of isotoner gloves? A plastic Dallas cowboys jug full of popcorn. (I'm a Saints fan). A desktop guillotine ( I though maybe it was a cigar cutter, but it wasn't ) a turquoise dolphin blanket ( I actually use this on the road. It's warm and nobody would ever steal this ugly thin and if they did they needed it more than I did) and their favorite gift I recall them getting me was a taxidermied squirrel in army fatigues carrying a plastic gun! They were so excited they gave it to me early.
Lucky me!! Anymore I play along. FIL is getting a KISS commemorative PEZ dispenser set! And we have an ugly blanket contest every year now. Last year I got angry birds. Wife is slowly trying to get them converted to getting me gift cards.
When we were kids, Jeff and I got blue denim cowboy hats from our grandmother. Will never forget trying not to laugh when we opened those lovely gifts.
Strangely, they just didn't fit right and we exchanged them for something a wee bit more practical.
