George trust me, that "art kit" is one of the worst things to gift to an art kid. 80% of the shit didn't work and the quality was so shit, it wasn't usable at all so we would just bin it.

[@stonks3507]

In my experience, the water colour never worked :(

[@Glitxhh]

id rather someone get me a pack of A4 paper paper, it'd be way more useful for art than those kits

[@genericname8727]

I honestly thought they were fine for more casual stuff. Like if just practicing or planning stuff they were good enough in my experience. Obviously there’s a dramatic difference in quality from the more professional products, but the pencils are still pencils. The water colours are probably pretty useless but the pencils are usually good enough in my experience. The biggest appeal is probably when kids visit and you’re told to give them something to draw with to keep them busy you don’t have to give the kids your quality stuff lol

[@dominicrichardson5546]

I've never been an artist or interested in art, but even I can tell that's shit quality. Type of pencils where the tips snap off in three seconds and the watercolours are only good at making brown

[@JasminMiettunen]

As someone who isn't even *that* into art, those coloured pencil and watercolour sets are just actually the worst quality products you can find 💀

They did go hard as a kid for the novelty value but as an adult they suck.

Marble run is truly one of the greatest toys. Going round my nans house on Sunday and getting shouted at for building a massive tower and letting all the marbles off at once, nearly deafened my Nan but good times ☺️

[@chloegodden7195]

I had two from two different people (one a friend and one was from my nan and grandad). Same brand and boxes, pencils worked - paints were crap. I got one from my stepdad and I've used all of the pencils

My grandma once got me and all my cousins a packet of tissues each. Grandpa had gambled away almost all of their money so that was all they could afford

[@mgthestrange9098]

That’s sad, at least you had something to dry your tears of disappointment with. And I hope she took the money off grandad before he could waste it all the following year.

[@antheas511]

My grandpa had quite a lot of money. One christmas he had gifts for "all his grandchildren". Meaning the 2 boys, my brother and cousin. My other (female) cousin and me got nothing. I guess girls don't count as grandchildren. Next christmas both of us got a bar of soap that was so old, we had to bin it. I don't miss him.

Oh gosh the gifts you get as a wheelchair user when someone can't be bothered to engage their brain is WILD (I am also a wheelchair user haha)

[@mgthestrange9098]

Same with being blind, I’ve been gifted photos of myself on 3 separate occasions. It’s nice for my family to have copies of the photos but I can’t get the use of them, I can’t even see my own face in a mirror! 😂

[@bettysupremacist]

how are you typing this if u cant see like how can you see the comments and videos

[@mgthestrange9098]

I use an iPhone feature called voiceover. When you put your finger on the screen, it tells me what it is and you double tap to select. The same when using the keyboard. You can use it to read back lines of text such as comments and news articles. In short, it’s technology innit and I don’t mind you asking.

[@RoadtripEuropeDashcam]

a friend came with a shirt with a very blurry rectangulare print on it and on the bottom of that print there was a windows task bar. turns out his mother wanted to create a custom shirt for him but did not know how to submit the image properly. so she made a screenshot from her desktop and sent that in. this shirt is legendary

[@jessicaholscher4097]

My dad gave me $73, which I thought was an odd amount of money, but I figured out why it was $73 when he took me out to lunch and then had no cash to pay for the meal. He told me that since I was getting older, I should be rewarded with the responsibility of paying for our meal, and i realized that he had forgotten to get me a present and then just gave me all the cash he had in his wallet and forgot about that fact when he took me out to lunch until the bill came. This was ancient times when many business only took cash.

[@Macephtopheles]

George completely missing that the shirt says "FORVER" and not "FOREVER"... Worst present I ever got was a children's toy fire engine from my grandpa... when I was like 16/17. I say "worst" but it amused me at least.

[@LordBeau]

that's a banger gift from your grandpa actually

[@colbyackermann]

Once got a “woman’s puberty” book from my nan, I’m a biological man

[@RPGLover87]

As a secret santa at a prior job, we had a £3 present limit, and I found my santee a copy of Machiavelli's The Prince in Waterstones for exactly that price. I was very proud of that present.

[@Wehttamman]

I'm 34 and I'd still be happy with a Marble Run for my birthday. Tbh I'd just be happy that someone remembered it was my birthday

[@neverforgetpapa5386]

when is your birthday?

[@jeffery9543]

Worst gift that I can remember is two of the same sock puppet making kit. Each one was given by a different person (we were all young enough at the time that its obvious the parents picked out the gifts), and the kits didn't even contain socks. They just had some googley eyes, pipe cleaners, a small booklet showing what you "can" do, and a tiny tube of glue. Two of those kits. *Two of them* And speaking of two, for a secret santa at school I got given a mini Hungry Hungry Hippos board. Pretty nice right? Would have been, if they didn't only buy it for me because I'd already brought my own one to school a month earlier, so everyone in the class knew I already had one. Like a few $2 chocolate bars would've been fine?? Why spend like $20-$30 on something you know I already own?? This inconveniences both of us??? How do I use two of these??????

[@yamato-qi3es]

You won’t understand unless you draw but getting cheap big pencil sets are the worst especially since normal they are bad quality not useful for blending hard to work with and is made for super cheap just for an big selection, you might already have those colors with good quality and mix them up or you don’t even use that medium

[@maitiug]

One present that stands out for me is when my grandparents gave me a towel. They were far from poor.

[@casfletcher4076]

My worst has to be a tie between an IOU for a laptop for my 18th that was never fulfilled, and a letter openener that i got 8 months late because they couldn't be bothered to post to me, so I had to travel the lenght of the country to pick it up. Both of these were my mum 😂

Worst gift: a little gift set containing a jar of chutney and a notepad from my sister, though it wasn't for my birthday, it was for Christmas circa 2006 (I was 29 at the time). I don't like chutney, and the notepad was very "female" stylised. My sister used to store gifts she received from people and then re-give them for presents. Keep in mind, her son (my awesome nephew) is disabled and my sister complained about people cutting her off in the car and making the ride for my nephew a nightmare. That same Christmas '06 I bought her an air-horn set for her car - close to $300 worth, and I also gave her the receipt so if she didn't want it on the car she had $300 to spend on something else. Now don't get me wrong, I wasn't expecting anything special from my sister because of the demands of having a disabled son. But a bar of chocolate would have been more thoughtful than a jar of chutney which I don't eat, never ate, and will never eat!

[@seasideinsects705]

My "worst" birthday present is one time my aunt gave me a lettuce! It was because the year before at my birthday I'd been complaining that there was no lettuce for the burgers at the barbecue we were having for it. It may be a weird gift but we both laughed about it and I did get to put some on my burger (and she later handed me my a ACTUAL gift). Great laughs all round (my friends never believed I'd gotten a lettuce as gift until I showed them the lettuce in question in person)

I was like 10-11 and told my family I liked Harry Potter. I liked the magic and the creatures and things like that, all the possibilities that I could imagine from that kind of universe. To this day they still gift me Harry Potter things. Its not like I dont appreciate them, but being out and about with my family and they pull me, an adult, to a obviously child themed section to show me the “super cool” and “totally me” Harry Potter T-shirt with all the main cast on it saying some shit like “You’re lucky I’m not allowed to do magic outside of hogwarts!” Or “I’m with the muggle”, it’s a tad embarrassing. And I’ve tried my hardest to tell them that while I still do like the possibilities that I could think of with a world like that, that I’m not that into Harry Potter the franchise any more but they don’t really listen to that. Edit: my mother also got me, when I was nine, a sample of an anti aging/wrinkle cream that she got from an Ipsy package or something along those lines. She was not happy that I quite clearly didn’t like it. I did say thank you and acted nice about it but I have always had very noticeable facial expressions that very clearly relay my thoughts.
