Some type of nylon pullover with my sister's company logo on it that she clearly received for free and is so ugly I wouldn't get caught dead in it.

For once I didn't really get a "worst"...I guess the closest I can come is a flavor of Bath & Body stuff I didn't care for which I promptly exchanged for a better one.
Vanilla Bean Noel does NOT smell like the original Vanilla.

Didn't really get any duds this year. Probably the closest thing to a dud was not getting enough cinnamon popcorn from my sister. She gave us a big tin but only 1/3 of it was cinnamon. The rest was cheese and caramel.

Not bad gifts just out of left field.
A wine kit with opener, spill coller and bottle plug. Maybe since I can seal a bottle up I might drink some more. Mrs TriBob does not drink wine so I always hated opening a bottle just for myself.
The other is more funny. My 6 yr/old daughter got me a Hiking in PA book. I asked if we were planning on going hiking and was told she just liked the picture on the front. Since we are an outdoor family anyway, I'm sure we will use it.

My worst isn't too bad. MIL got me a new light fixture for the kitchen. The one she picked out is nice but.....I can't help but think: wow for what she paid for that I could have gotten 2 pairs of running shoes!!

My worst - my aunt gave me a black collared shirt, embroidered with the words "Singing is Life!" on the pocket. Kelt, you have any use? Honestly, when or why would I ever wear such a thing?

Actually that sounds fun, giving a gift like that and watching those who recieve it squirm.
