Worst gift ever.
OK, so I saw this item on a show on Animal Planet, one of my favorite "nothing's-on-but-I-need-to-watch-something" channels. I could hardly believe my eyes. At first I thought, how kitch, but now I am rethinking my position and feel that f someone gave this to me, I'd actually be insulted. Thanks Australia! Happy Australia Day and all, but the Mr. Koala Poo keychain is a must-not have!
I challenge anyone to find a gift that's worse.

Re: Worst gift ever.
Yeah, that wins. That is definitely one of the worst presents your could possibly get. But I think it would be a small step above a lump of coal

Worst Present
I still think that your link must really be for that "special" someone... or from that someone who's "special"...

Re: Worst gift ever.
It's the thought that counts. And I shudder to think what the thought behind ornamental excrement is.
which also happens to describe Mac Daddy's gift! tee hee

Re: Worst gift ever.
I remember Dave Berry had a column on bad gifts. One was an insect genitalia inflater.

At least they have good intentions 
By purchasing this unique keyring you will also help to save Australia's real koalas as money is donated to the Australian Koala Foundation to preserve and protect koala habitat.

I know someone who owns a kangaroo scrotum.
How's that?

It only works if it's a gift

This all reminds me of those clear plastic toilet seats with the game animal crap in them.

That's cool that you know where to buy them... just as long as you don't.

Re: Worst gift ever.
The kangaroo scrotum makes a great tobacco pouch. A friend-of-a-friend showed me his. There's no stitching to hold the front and back halves together and the leather is really smooth.
I'll have to take a look at the 'roos next time I go to the zoo to see if they are smooth when they are still attached to the kangaroo.
Does anyone have superstitions about gift-giving? My Mom believes that it's unlucky to give something that cuts (eg: knives, scissors, cutlery) because it will cut off your friendship.
So if she gives you something sharp she asks you for a token payment of ten cents. Then you have bought the item, so it's not a gift.
It's hard to fly like a turkey when you're up to your ass in alligators.

That's still around? I saw those things in Japan 10 years ago! I thought they were just a passing fad, but damn!
Does Koala poop smell like cough drops?
