Today I am bringing you something very special.
I am bringing you a carolling Christmas kitten. On a jumper.
Come on, you all know someone who *needs* this in their lives. They have to be someone with a smart phone, as what they have to do is simply download the free app, available on iOS and Android, select the correct animation for their jumper and slot their smartphone into the Velcro pouch designed to hold the phone in place – the jumper then comes to life. Can’t you imagine Christmas dinner with a crackling fire next to you? Or perhaps Santa’s eyes following you around the room?
You’ve got to admit it’s something you’ve never seen before. And possibly something you never want to see again. Ahem.
But because I am amazing, I am giving you the chance to win one of these wonderful ugly jumpers from Morphsuits. Truly the days of Rubbish Christmas have returned.
So what do you need to do to win one of these unique items? (There are 5 different designs to choose from by the way, you don’t *have* to have the kitty, and I know it’s hard to believe that there could be that many incredible choices.)
Very simple. I’m going to need a comment that tells me what’s the worst Christmas present you’ve received. Competition will be open until midnight Tues 3rd December, and the winner must respond to email notification within 48 hours, details will be passed to PR firm for fulfilment. You can have extra entries as follows:
- tweet “I’d love to win a Carolling Kitty sweater with @liveotherwise here https://liveotherwise.co.uk/2013/11/27/competition-for-a-christmas-jumper-like-youve-never-seen-before/” (leave a separate comment with your twitter id)
- for following Morphsuits (leave a separate comment with your twitter id)
- for signing up to receive my blog by email (see box in sidebar) (leave separate comment with name you signed up with)
- or sharing this post elsewhere (leave separate comment with details of share).

Don’t fancy the kitty? How about Santa?
Yeah, I know. It’s hard to believe. Do check out the other alternatives at Morphsuits, and make sure to say hi to them on twitter.
I’m so good to you.

Back when everyone was wearing ponchos me & my husband spent all year laughing about them as we couldn’t understand why they were suddenly the ‘in’ thing to wear. Then I opened my Christmas present from his mum….it was a dreadful poncho! I gave it to my sister who then turned up at mine wearing it…which would normally be fine but we lived next door to my in laws!

I gave birth by emergency c-section after a gruelling and frightening labour on 21st December. I came home with baby on Christmas Day. My Christmas present was a book of erotic fiction…Our relationship only narrowly survived that one!

Does jumpers are just so creepy.
In my late teens I was given a pair of knitted socks with absolutely massive 3D soft toy dogs on the toe. They were ridiculously ugly, impractical and perhaps would have been suitable if I was 7!

Was not impressed with floral ironing board cover from hubby a few years back
When I was a teenager my mom bought me a lady shaver…….but I knew she had brought it in the october, used it, then wrapped it up…..and Ive never let her forget it.

When I was 16 years old, and wanting pretty clothes and sparkly makeup, my great aunt gave me a bed jacket. A home made one, made out of a pale blue brushed nylon sheet (only she’d used the smooth side for one sleeve) and lined with one of my uncle’s old shirts, complete with sweaty-armpit-stains. For the same Christmas, she gave my brother a tray of savoury ducks (a bit like faggots) but with one taken out because she’d given it to the cat.

Best prize ever!
The worst present I got was from my Dad was when I was 7. He gave me four lovely books. When I opened them, they had library cards tucked in the front. He was a teacher and had borrowed them from the school library! He said they had to be taken back in January. Sigh.
My aunt followed my worst birthday present ever (old clothes of her’s to dress up in – so awful I wouldn’t even do that) with my worst Christmas present ever – her old hats to go with the dressing up clothes.

My worst gift was a pair of ear rings for pierced ears. I don’t have pierced ears or wear ear rings & the person who bought them for me works with me every day!

Every year for no discernable reason since I moved out of my parents house 10 years ago, my mum has bought me a pack of 3 white vests. Things came to a head last year when I was having a wardrobe sort out and realised that over 9 years I had amassed 27 of these….things. I never wear a vest, and indeed haven’t done since I was in primary school. Yet every single year without fail I get another 3 of them. They’re like tribbles, gradually taking over the entire house.
On the other hand the most ill informed present I’ve ever bought someone else was the big coffee table book entitled “50 years of the Pirelli Calendar year book”. My dad had a couple of their books from the late 70’s, so I thought it would make a good present. Unfortunately we had the inlaws round for Christmas Day, as well as my parents, my brother and sister in law. (my wife’s sister that is). My dad sat on the sofa next to my sister in law, leafing through the book, making comments like, “Oooh, that’s a pert pair. Are yours that pert?” to the SiL. Everybody else sat their in stunned/mortified silence. I drank two bottles of port, which seemed to make the day go by quicker.
A fingerprint set – I never wanted to be a detective I wanted to be a vet!
My husband once bought me a telescopic paint roller!
some smellies which I think would have suited an older person
A Rotato (rotating potato peeler)
Wooden Spoons
An Electric Iron from my future mother in law that was 31 years ago Its still in the box, unused and never will be
Men’s jewellery. Honest to God!
I had hinted all year to my (now EX) boyfriend of many years to finally buy me something pretty for Christmas for once. Every time there was a jewellery advert or we walked past a jeweller’s shop I dropped huuuuge hints!
Christmas day dawned and finally I had lovely square boxes to unwrap and open! However, what was inside made me want to cry. A huge, great, men’s silver necklace, a massive man’s bracelet and a man’s celtic ring! Eminem would have turned his nose up at the whole lot for being a bit too ‘gangster’.

Great comp @ClintHowat1
I was once given a cheap silver coloured frame with my picture in it, above my face was the picture of a dog and underneath my face was the word ‘Woof’ . . . it seems it was supposed to be funny
I can’t remember having any really bad presents, but hubby, who has had a beard for years was given a shaving kit.

These are fantastic ! Two worst Christmas presents – a plastic yolk separator and (this is the one that annoyed me, given I had bought my uncle a cashmere jumper) a 99p desk tidy and some post it notes. It wasn’t even given ironically ! lol Though to his his credit he was a bit embarrassed.

Worst present was a pair of warm-in-the-microwave fluffy slipper boots. They had beads in the soles, that gathered in uneven lumps under my feet and made it impossible to walk in them. A lovely thoughtful gift because I’ve always got cold feet, but completely impractical to wear.
My boyfriend bought me an inspection lamp for the garage – i never go in the garage!

Panty liners! The well meaning elderly relative thought it was the underwear on the outside of the box!
the worst present i ever got was a shellsuit. lol
Thanks again for a fab giveaway. x
honestly never received anything bad as such for christmas, although i did once get a bar holding a gift which said happy birthday on it… my birthdays april :/
A shirt with a very sticky transfer of a plane across the front- everything stuck to it
A Frying Pan – so i could cook bacon n egg sandwiches to perfection apparently
Sounds like a great present to me. 😐
The worst Christmas present I ever got was a food hamper from a very eccentric aunt. I opened it, hoping it was lots of lovely food, but soon realized that she had just emptied the contents of her pantry into an old wicker basket! Absolutely everything was something really weird that you would never know what to do with and it was all out of date – between 4 and 12 years out! There was a bottle of wine in there too and I really hoped that we could salvage it, but no, someone had had a go at trying to open it as the foil and cork had been damaged by a corkscrew and the cork had gone all mouldy! Unfortunately the whole lot had to go in the bin! Definitely a very memorable present for all the wrong reasons!

Worst present was probably something for my cat from someone at work…….I don’t even have a cat!

A towel set from my mum when I was 13! Apparently she forgot it was Christmas until the evening before and it was all she could find in the local supermarket!

I gave birth at the end of august and for that xmas my ex husband bought me a keep fit small trampoline that said HELPS YOU LOSE WEIGHT in massive letters on the box.The most hurtful thing was I hadn’t even mentioned wanting to lose weight at that point!
worst christmas present was a packet of soup. A friend thought because I had once talked about loving soup on a cold winters day she thought I would love it so much to receive soup as a present.

Nothing too bad, mainly clothes that I would never wear as some people have a very odd idea of what I wear.
Every year it seemed my grandma bought me knickers, they would be wrapped in a toilet roll tube ‘cunningly’ wrapped in crepe paper to resemble a cracker, I was a child, knickers, even in a cracker, were never going to be fun
