This is a fact that everyone should face: at some point in life, you will receive a bad present from someone. Usually, this will happen around Christmas time due to the frequency of gifts being given and received. Whether it be from your aunt, uncle, grandma, or even your own parents, you need to be able to realize this sad fact of life, bad presents are inevitable.
If you think you’ve gotten the worst present ever, wait until you read these brave souls confess what they got for Christmas and remember, it could be worse.

8. I unwrapped the gift and it was a little tin box. I opened the box and there was a fake gift card there, like an indication of this is where you put the gift card. And I just looked at her like…what is it or whats going on? And she goes “It’s a gift card holder. You can put all your gift cards in there.”
