Worst Christmas present ever: the cactus that my ex-MIL gave to my 2-year old daughter.

I love that you mentioned the Millennium Falcon. My husband and I were perusing a toy catalog and discussing if there was anything we wanted for Christmas. I saw the MF and said I wanted that. haha!

“People, this is $500 worth of Legos that would be built by Pete, not the girls, and then they’d probably kick out Han Solo and Chewbacca and move in a posse of fairies.”

Maybe it’s my pain meds, but this made me howl with laughter that went on for a LONG time. I’ve still got hiccups!

LOL. Just watch this video and guess why I’m laughing.

P.S. yes, this is the worst toy ever.

Yes to blackbird’s comment.

However, back in the day – the worst present was the one that made noise.

I have to say, you know what is EXCELLENT?
Having grown boys who ask for musical instrument supplies or computer programs – and understand the budgetary constraints.

Umm, can I sign up for those Playmobil Dollhouses??? Pretty please? They look so cool!

And I think I saw it already listed…but the Bratz dolls. They’re basically hooker dolls for little girls.

Ditto to the Bratz dolls….they teach children to act like whorey snots and FYI kids! I work for a wal-mart therefore heard through are marketing staff a few years ago that they are a SWEATSHOP made line! My next top worst? Guns with realistic movements…Nerf Belt Fed machine guns anyone?

Kate, you read my mind (but your mind is funnier than mine) re: the Bratz dolls. I have boys so don’t need to deal, but wtf?? Who would buy those mini-prostitutes for their girls?

My 12 year old wants a bb gun. Um, NO.

There are so many crappy toys! The Princess wanted a god-awful piece of Strawberry Shortcake plastic, and the only place I could find it was Amazon, for like $80. No thank-you!
