POLL: Worst Gift Ever

That terrible gift you received has a purpose after all: you can share it with Patch.

At Marlborough Patch, we know there are some people who don't quite get gift-giving. Sometimes those terrible gifts are so bad you need to throw them away; other times, it's better to share the love and re-gift them.

In my family, we've done a Yankee Swap for the past 10 years or so and every year there is one gift you don't want to open: the banana hanger.

You read that right: a banana hanger—as in, something you use to keep your bananas off the kitchen counter. (Really, grandma?)

We're sure you have a gift that you couldnt believe you've received. We want to know what it was. Take the poll and tell us about it in the comments. (And, maybe you'll even get some ideas for this year's Yankee Swap.)
