I went through and found the posts made by the winners. Here they are - in one place - for easy access. They are in no particular order . . . . I think that I found them all.

Worst Christmas gift I got ever: lined paper.
When I was in the 4th grade, we had a secret santa gift exchange. I think the price limit was $5 or $10. I convinced my mother to buy a really cool battery powered 4x4 truck that drove over anything! I couldn't wait to see what I got from someone else in class!
When I opened my secret santa gift, I found...400 sheets of college ruled white paper.
I kept it together in class, but it was pretty apparent I was disappointed. I've never been so sad to get anything in my life. I went home that afternoon and cried to my mom for half an hour.
We later found out that the mother who had bought the paper as a gift thought that it had to be "school related".
I would love one of these codes! I had to sell my iPaq 1910 earlier this year to raise some money so I could stay in grad school, and have missed it ever since. For the first time in my adult life I am sans Pocket PC!

Hey, I never complain about any gifts. I'm just happy people take the time to think about me. However, I am planning to purchase a 50v (hopefully thursday or friday) and every little bit helps.

My brother-in-law was given, by my father, a bunch of tube socks. The socks had my father's initials on them in black marker!

The worst gift I have ever gotten was from my mother-in-law. She bought me one of those $4.99 electronic organizers you find at the checkout counter. She "knew" I was into those things. I tink I'll keep using my Jornada, thanks!!!

One bad and one funny: 1) A 12" high, battery operated lucite angel with fiber optic wings and color-changing LED lights in the base. Looks perfect for the double-wide, if we ever get one.
2) In a large family gift opening party we do each Christmas, with everyone looking on, my wife gave me this great looking tie, gold base color with 1/2" squares and a blue, hey that's a Viagra pill in each square ! It's the Pfizer Viagra tie. No further comments or puns from me.

Mother-in-law gave us a 7 dollar toilet seat! Needless to say, it will be returned.
