An iron and a mirror – he had it coming!
A half full bottle of Old Spice, I don’t know where it came from
well, the worst possible would probably be the spouse buying something for themself (hasn’t happened though).
my dad was never around for fathers day. nice giveaway thank you.
We always go on vacation in June so one year we just had him pick himself something out at a souvenir store and pay for it himself. Bad wife & kids!!!
I have never had a bad gift on father’s’ day.
One time we got my husband a smelly air-freshener for his car.
the cliche tie, of course, i don’t even wear ties
Socks and underwear? or a tie? 🙂
The worst was a tie that was not in style .
I can’t single out any one gift as being particularly bad. I make it easy by not really needing anything,and if I do I go get it.
Thanks for the chance.

i want to win
wow, great contest
once we just forgot till afternoon to wish DH.
I think the worst father’s day for my dad was when we all bought him golf stuff because it was his new hobby. We got him a ball washer and tees, and a mini golf game for his desk at work, etc. Just a bunch of golf stuff. Well, it turns out at the time he hated golf. hahah.. oops!
My husband got a pair of heated socks.
what about pop-corn?
a #1 dad piece of metal that balanced it’s self on a pedestal from our kids school sale
My stbx wife was terrible at remembering anything…so most fathers days went by unnoticed.
The worst Father’s Day gift my husband ever received from me was a new wok. He is a great cook but doesn’t really like to do it!
1829 buckeye dr
great flick
The worst was a Cheers series DVD collection from his mom because he doesn’t like the series. I liked it though, lol.
My father drank himself to death when I was nine. The worst gift would be none.
a candle holder in the shape of a billiard eight ball. it was supposed to be a gag gift. i did not find it funny.
He would say the worst was a glass pig (it’s huge) and I thought he would like it because he liked large coin banks, but this one just didn’t interest him.
My son made my husband a special card in school- but brought home the wrong one and they couldn’t find his. (but it’s the thoiught, my son was so upset.
Father’s Day is the day after my daughter’s wedding this year! How will we manage it? I dont know! Combination celebration at their wedding rehearsal dinner? Might work!
My sister and I each bought my father the same present. So which one do you return? He thought it was funny.
i got a pair of socks one year.
My husband received a fathers day card from his son that said happy birthday on it instead of happy father’s day. Not too good, since it was not his birthday
my dad died 2 days before so not good
the kids just acknowledging fathers day is all we need…the worst would be if they forgot
My dad once received an expensive set of hair care products as a Father’s Day gift, which would have been terrific except for one minor detail – my dad wears a toupee! I actually think he was happy that he was fooling at least one person though, so maybe it wasn’t so bad after all.
My father once received a carved coconut for Father’s Day. He had no use for it. I think he sat it on a shelf.
Ties….
NO MORE TIES FOR FATHERS DAY!!!
I received some stale cookies that my four year old daughter got from her grandma’s house that were given to her to give to me. It was my mother IN LAW.
I thought the Ped Egg was a terrible gift at first, but now I love it!
My father once received a pair of canary yellow golf pants for Father’s Day….EEK! or Tweet Tweet!
The worst gift my husband received for father’s day was a purple silk shirt.
I don’t rate gifts or take them too seriously. There are so many factors to consider. Just have fun.

Years ago I received some after shave I was allergic to.
I would have to say it was the Father’s Day that we planned a big BBQ to celebrate but the homemade veggie burgers wouldn’t cook and in frustration ended up being thrown all over the lawn! Of course we all did have a good laugh out of the situation.
nice prize
My hubby’s worst gift was a singing fish. Oh my god that thing was bad.

The worst gift my husband received was a video game that he wasn’t into for a game system he didn’t even have!
no spouse but I once gave my father a stuffed toy that I thought was cute. he must have loved me because he kept it on his dresser
How could I ever forget Father’s Day…first my dad..and now we celebrate for my husband, son and son-in-law….can’t forget our soldiers who are with their loved ones in their hearts.
A thoughtfully hand knit red sweater that was too short in the torso length, as well as too short in the sleeve length.
My husband got a picture of himself standing in a disco-dance pose.
My husband has seriously never got a bad Father’s Day gift.When the kids were smaller they would make him cards that were kind of crooked and some were unreadable but thats what made them special.

A pair of 3 tube socks. Thanks wasn’t a good gift.
My brother-in-law invited us to a cookout at his house for Father’s Day where I was given the duty of grilling everything while he was chatting it up.
I don’t think he’s ever gotten a gift he didn’t like.
I don’t think he’s ever gotten a gift he didn’t like. We’re really good at finding gifts he enjoys.
certificate 2 a nice rib place. the ribs were awful. we were really surprized.we just ordered on a bad day.
My husband received a picture of him from his daughter one year. She drew an impression of him, and it showed him as a big bouncy ball. He never said a word to hurt her feelings, but went on a diet that day.
not getting a present at all would be the worst!
This would be totaly awesome. Thanks.
Pair of torn in half socks.
The worst gift my husband received for Father’s Day was moustache wax and trimmer.
