Worst Holiday Gift Ever?

This quote stood out when I ran across an article on GoErie.com that asked Executive types about their worst ever holiday gifts.

"Emilia DiMenco, executive vice president at Harris Bank: "Someone once gave me a fly-fishing pole, complete with a tackle box full of flies. I hate fishing"

This has to be the best explanation we have heard yet for the American financial crisis.

How about it fly fishing executive or non executive types? What was your worst holiday gift ever? Your best?

The Editorial Trophy wife will most likely weigh in right away with a comment about the clothes steamer we got her for Christmas a few years back (we won't do that again). Feel free to leave your comments anonymously to protect the "innocent."

Dude! Don't you know to go with a dual bag vaccum? It's the best vacuum cleaner a wife can have....

The WORST gift I've ever received? A set of locks for my luggage from my sister a few years ago.

Best: first Sage flyrod from my Aunt about 20 yrs ago. Worst: quesadilla maker from my aunt just this Christmas, ironic? Dontcha think?

Rob - the vacuum was pushing the envelope.

Gordon,

She should get a pass since she got you the Sage. What do you have against cheesy tortilla goodness anyway? The steamer would make a mean Quesadilla.

Well at least you finally admit it was the worst gift ever!
