What was the worst Christmas present you ever got (Bose and clothes not included)
A guitar.
I had hundreds of great things on my list that year.
And the pick me out a guitar!
Never ever played or learned to play it.

Nathan, What kind of guitar was it? Do you still have it? Worth selling?

That's a fantastic gift. Guess it's a matter of opinion. I'm speaking as someone who, after 15 years of procrastination, is finally starting to learn how to play.
Anyway, my worst gift ever was a lamp that was shaped like a turtle with the bulb being under the translucent shell. Tacky even by my standards...and I have the Grateful Dead dancing bears up on my wall.

Dave--
It's an Alverez Accoustic..
Pristine condition comes with a gig bag..
I would sell it but..
My Dad who happens to be a musician (Has MANY degrees in music) would probably be againist it and selling it would probably offend him.
My poor Dad, He's a musician.
Not one of his kids is into playing.
Music doesn't pay.
Another terrible gift I got was a book.
I hate books, thats just about the worst present you can get, unless the book is about HT.

Not my story, but a good one anyway...
My friend's Aunt is a little nuts and always sends really odd things, and one time for Xmas she sent my friend's mom a pair of used underwear that probably 2 or 3 people could fit in. They still aren't sure where she got them from as she is no where near that size!

Last year my mother in law bought me... get this, a sterling silver plated... (drum roll) COMPUTER MOUSE!! 
It's still in the box. I can't see using a mouse that I can see myself in, much less having to POLISH my mouse lest it get tarnished. Besides, it doesn't have a scroll wheel like my current mouse.

There's a clear winner.... a giant glass thermometer - basically a glass tube with about 6 or 7 temperature indicators, which float up and down depending on the.... yadda yadda. Anyway its more tacky and shitty than it sounds, and is by far and away the worst present I have ever received. It went straight in the bin!
