we got a single serving coffee maker -- just seemed ironic for an engagement gift....

We got one of those and we love it! I can have espresso and FH can have regular coffee without making 2 whole pots.

i got a chocolate fountain. Now, that's super fun for the wedding. But what the heck am I going to do with that on a regular, everyday basis?

we're giving the best man and his fw achocolate fountain for their e-gift (well as part of their e-gift) because she is so excited about the choc fountain at our wedding, but he already vetoed it for their own!

I think I'm going to win.

We got ... are you ready? As a Wedding Gift (besides nothing... I mean nadda... not even a card) a contact lense care kit! AND two dish towel sets (a total of 6 towels) PLUS an 8x8 cake pan. And these were 2 different gifts from 2 different people!

Beat That!

I got a Yankee's Bottle opener that says 'The Yankees Win!' when you open a bottle.
Um, I'm a Mets fan! Anyone who knows me knows that. I'm a HUGE Mets fan. It was returned to Linens N' Things.

As a wedding gift from 4 people, we got a ceramic Bible opened to a page that has a generic version of Corinthians 'Love is Patient'. To top it off it has a light bulb.

Re: Tell Us Your Worst Wedding Gift

I LOVE this thread! It's hysterical! I mean the ashtray looking thing, the contact lense kit, and the bible!!!

Seriously where did you find these people who gave you those gifts?!?!?!

Re: Tell Us Your Worst Wedding Gift

A guy I work with married someone from the Midwest and one of their guests gave them a paper towel holder. He said not just is it a paper towel holder, it's an ugly one.

Another guy I work with got some used looking silverware (he actually had a contest with friends of his about the worst wedding gift, they won).

That ashtray thingy and the bible thingy still win.

We also got a menorah that looks like two people with their fingers on fire. It is really creepy looking.

Re: Tell Us Your Worst Wedding Gift

Not a BAD gift, but I have received so many Lennox things. It couldn't be less my taste.

I couldn't agree more, have received e-gifts and returned almost all. I feel terrible doing that though.

An elaborately wrapped gift basket that included:
1. an autographed picture of Neil Patrick Harris (aka Doogie Howser)
2. a 'precious moments'-like sculpture of a cow being milked.
3. a huge bottle of teriyaki sauce.

This actually happened.....in a dream I had the NIGHT before my shower!

A big shell with our names writtenout in little shells, but it was broken and half of the letters were missing!

In my wishing well I got two dented half price cans of lima beans and a half eaten box of macaroni!

Re: Tell Us Your Worst Wedding Gift

For my wedding, I got this ugly (and I mean UGLY) set of china from a store that is only in Europe, so there was no way that I would be able to return or exchange it. The set included:

1 tea kettle
2 fabric napkins
2 mini tea cups
1 tray
2 bowls

The pattern was in black, yellow and white and featured a milkmaid in black and white with a really huge cow standing next to her. It was the ugliest thing I have ever seen.

I sold it all on eBay a few weeks later. I hated to do it, but really, there was no way I could keep something so ugly or even give it away as a gift.

It was probably a really expensive set, but just butt ugly.
