I open the rather bedraggled bag and found....a dirty dishcloth. NOT EVEN CLEAN. It even smelled bad! The gifter laughed and said she thought it was a fine joke.
And of course, no getting rid of it. And I was the host for the party, dammit!!
Washed it with bleach and I'm still using it.
I think she's in a nursing home somewhere.

Dirty Santa? Are there supposed to be awful gifts?
I've heard them called Yankee Swaps and White Elephants. Never Dirty Santa. I'd almost expect a horrible gift in a game with a name such as that.
But no matter what it's called, I end up with the worst gifts. There's always that person who doesn't take it seriously and buys something horrible, and I usually end up getting that gift. My history of gifts = pepper spray, an already-used Starbucks card, a Christmas ornament that someone made (i.e. ball dipped in glue and glitter), just to name a few.
I've also seen some other people receive some pretty bad gifts, like the woman who walked away with a bunny "puppet" that sweeps up dust bunnies.
Come on, people.
