The ratio here is about half fails and half shining successes. All interesting, but not all clueless grandmas.

I wear a prostetic leg. So one Christmas my grandma knitted me only one sock for my one foot.
Mary Sharkey 7 years ago
As a Grandma, I find most of these gifts endearing and humorous. I think many of these Grandmas were in on the joke.
MadamButterfly 7 years ago
I wish my grandma was still here,I would give her the world. *sigh* :(
Marysia Jawłowska 7 years ago
Whether a gift is a fail or not is determined by how the person receiving it feels about it not how it looks to strangers. But even judged objectively most of those are awesome gifts.
Pavel Nekoranec 7 years ago
Thank you feeling sad that I've never experience to have grandmother :( they both died before I was born :(

Daria B 7 years ago
These reminded me... When I was cleaning up the place, I found a Sex Pistols t-shirt amongst my husband's old clothes. I thought it was both weird ans cute (my husband's not into punk, so, weird, me, I am, although not really a Pistols fan, ao cute). Then I asked him about it later and he just told me his mother bought it to him. If that were a European mother, I'd assume she must have done it on purpose, but in Korea, they have a wee bit different 20th century history.
