Not everyone is lucky enough to get his/her dream gift during the holidays. There are many a reason for this happening during this season: stores sellout, friends don’t have cash and some people are just plain color blind. With that in mind, Sweeps asked students…

What’s the worst gift you’ve ever received during the holidays?

“Gift certificates to a restaurant that I didn’t even eat at or like.”

– Adam Cotto, a senior electrical engineering major.

“A box of crackers from a friend. She was broke and said it was the thought that counts. Then she gave me the Cheez Whiz…”

– Susan Dwake, a junior OMIS major.

“A pair of pink boxers from one of my aunts as a gag gift at a Christmas party.”

– John Kleidon, a sophomore journalism major.

“A pack of socks from my mother. I already had enough socks.”
