“The blanket that makes you look like a giant burrito! It was super thin and of poor quality, not to mention the fact that it wasn’t big enough to cover me. Now I’ll never look like a burrito!” © its_not_appropriate

“I bought a ’make it yourself’ music box with a series of cards to punch out the notes and then an insert so you can play whatever tune you want. Thought I could make my girlfriend a special gift, then I realized that I can’t read music and when I tried to punch it by ear it sounded bloody awful.” © LifeIsBizarre

“This past Christmas Eve, I was doing some last-minute shopping and came across a glass shaped like Buddy from the movie Elf which, of course, also had Will Ferell’s face on it. With everything kinda being out of order with the holiday rush, I didn’t know how much it cost, but I bought it on pure impulse because I thought it was funny. It wasn’t until I left the store and looked at the receipt that I realized it cost $22, which was way more than it was worth. To remind me of my mistake, I now drink out of that glass exclusively and have been doing so for the past 5 months. I have to wash it like, twice a day but I won’t stop using it until I feel like I’ve gotten my $22 dollars worth.” © JustSarver

“My family visited Colorado when I was 10 and I saw a statue of a mosquito in a gift shop with the words ‘state bird’ on the bottom and begged my parents for it. We now have a rather large mosquito statue on our piano.” © FriedEggRoll
