Uh… thanks?

A place to share those gifts you COULD live without.

About

I came up with this idea after attending a Christmas party where we played that Dirty Santa game where everybody exchanges/steals gag gifts. Seeing all the random gifts brought back childhood memories of gifts I’d received that secretly ended up in the trash or in the back of my closet. I remember my parents coaching me about being polite when Aunt so-and-so gave me my annual dose of brown silk socks. I thought it might be a fun experiment to see if other people would be willing to share similar experiences, anonymously, with others.

I wouldn’t be surprised if a few fruitcakes show up but this isn’t just about Christmas gifts. Birthday, wedding, anniversary, housewarming, retirement, graduation, midlife crisis, workplace, funeral, and all holiday gifts are fair game. I’m not going to discriminate because these types of gifts can rear their ugly head any time at any place. Time will tell, but my ultimate goal is to help educate the general public about the danger and comedy of bad gifts.
