Wild Fowl. When is it ever appropriate to send someone a card with a duck on the front?
I think this set is just perfect for masculine cards. My DH is a duck/decoy collector, so I'm always looking for stamps with different ducks!!
My least favorite sets from the new catty are:
Celebrate in Style - yuck!!
At the Races - (I love SU!, but I'm sure DH or my brother don't feel the same!!)
Charming Children - really scary......
Wisecracks - the sentiments are cute, but the art leaves a little to be desired.
There are a few more, but these are at the top of my list.....
I agree with the previous posters who offered up both Aquaria and Fintastic, and I'll throw in Sweet Songbirds. Funny, I went to the gallery first to make sure I hadn't missed some absolutely incredible samples for Sweet Songbirds that might possibly make me change my mind, but guess what? Nothing there... yet.

I cannot stand Fresh Flowers. I got it in my kit because my upline talked me into it. I don't like And Everything Nice. I think It's a Party is ugly, and I really don't like anything else with monkeys in it. I don't like Oh My Word much either.
Wow, I can't believe most of my favorites are on the hate lists. I have Fun Filled and have never used it, not sure what to do with it. At the top of my hate list are Knobbly Gnomes (what were they thinking?) and Just Beakause (too pricey). I have others but these are at the top.
Dang, I am doing Do The Hula for my feb display board. Maybe I can change your minds....and if not, oh well! I like it!
Emily, I like it, too! Of course, it helps that my husband and two of his brothers were born there.....and they still have relatives there.....and I've been there and love it! I've used it for several birthdays and thank you cards.
I do agree with a lot of the other sets, though. There are some really ugly sets in the catalog!

There are sooooo many sets in the new catty that are plain 'freaky' like Say Something Mice... if I wanted to terrorize a friend of mine (who is totally terrified of mice) I'd send her a card made from this set. The "Wanda's" are cute but won't get much use.
The good news/bad news is that I've got a long wish list of things like grosgrain, reinkiers, craft spots, Hodge Podge Hardware, and the new specialty papers. I'll finally get around to using some of the sets I've had that are very longly.

I LOVE THE GNOMES!!!!!!!!! Sorry, I just needed to say that. Other than that I agree with most of the one that you already mentioned. I do hate Much Appreciated. How many ways does a person need to say Thank-You. Really!!!!
I'm actually glad there are so many sets I don't like; otherwise, my budget would be busted even more than it is! Some (not all) of my LEAST favorites are:
Favorite Teddy Bear
The Fine Print
Computer Quips
Jazzed Up
Sweet Songbirds
Petal Pushers
Buds & Blossoms
Delicate Dandelion
In the Wild
Netherlands
The list goes on, but I'm sure it's not nearly as long as the list of sets I do like!

I'm with you on Fresh Flowers! I can't stand it! I got it with my starter kit and have never made anything useful with it. The only thing I use is the swirl stamp.
I have never liked Fantastic Foliage much....I tried to give it a chance....but i'm never happy with anything those stamps touch. All Jazzed Up is also on my list, I'm very sorry I bought it.
Oh, and I can't believe you guy's don't like Just Beakause....it's so cute.

I don't think I would ever order Sweet Songbirds. However, when I go to my SU group, there is almost always a card done with a set that I would never order, only to find that it makes up really cute. I guess the moral is 'never say never.' LOL!
Fun Filled. I know people love it, but I can't stand it and can't seem to even give it away.
OMG!!!! I totally agree!!!!! I had a raffle for it, new and UM after SAB because I knew that I would never use it, and I had a hard time selling all of the squares!!! I just don't get why so much was made of that set!! The Classy brass, the kit....I guess that it goes to show that we have something for everything, eh???
I love Do the Hula, as soon as I saw it I had to have, I also like It's A Party. What's not to love about a juggling monkey...
I definitely do not like Fun Filled either, and I was surprised to see that as one of the pushed sets, (by that I mean the pre-made kit). I also despise under the weather. To me it looks like bad clipart, and not something that an artist actually came up with.
My least favorites have already been said - Please Be Seated (what in the world was going through the artist's head when he/she thought - let's make graphics of CHAIRS and put sayings with them?) - and furthermore, who decided at SU that this was a "cute" idea? It All Adds Up (they're stick figures, people - JUST DRAW THEM YOURSELF!) Sports Fans jumbo wheel (is it just me, or do those people look like they're wearing the "scream" masks?)
And I really don't like the saying in Maternal Instincts that says "God could not be everywhere, and so He created mothers." - Uh, last time I checked - He IS everywhere.
I actually like Knobby Gnomes and Just Beakause (even though normally I hate it when words are misspelled in an effort to be "cute"). I'm probably not going to buy them, but I don't hate them.

I have to say for me one of them is Artifacts. I bought it and can't get into it at all!!! I have tried and tried, but it's just not for me and I love vintage.
Also on my list:
Crusin' Christmas- How lame is this?
Girlfriends
Petal Pushers
Fintastic- Freaks me out!!
And please don't hate me for this one, but I really can't stand Loads of Love.
My least favs are: Wisecracks, the funky one about furniture, those silly looking animals supposedly partying, Quick and Cute, Nice and Narrow, among others.
I'm with Emily on the Do the Hula set. I love it! My DH loves At the Races, and he's a NASCAR fan.
I have to say there are quite a few that are just not my style but I really hate Wisecracks. Why oh why do we need a stamp of a woman with a big butt???? She really creeps me out. It looks like cute-gone-horribly-wrong!! :p
It All Adds Up -- is my most disliked, I think.
Smile - I think this is dorky also
Cool Cat -- try as I might, I still hate this one
Bubble Queen -- not into the retro artwork, I've already lived that era once
Celebrate in Style
Best of Cluck

LOL, I sooo agree.
Can't stand wisecracks. I also hate the gnomes & fintastic, and all the sets done in that style. Thank God that creepy clown didn't make it into the catalog!
A lot of the ones mentioned here are ones I love though. Cool Cat, Do the Hula, Buggies & Booties, LOVE THOSE!
I don't really like any of those play on words sets, likes the chairs or beakcause.

Wow this is true. Every time I go to my SU group I am adding more and more stamp sets to my wishlist and then I wind up ordering different things.

Oh, my word (Hostess) just plain don't like it!
Cruisin' Christmas -- YIKES! Santa's eyes are buggin' out!!!
Fun Filled - could never get in to this one
Nice & Narrow - just doesn't do it for me
Quick & Cute - HOW did this make it another year???
Happily Ever After - What bride wants a dress THAT big?!
Birthday Banter - Cute ideas, just not my style at all
Celebrate in Style - Seriously, what's up with the animals in scarves/shoes/purses?
Best of Cluck - I would never send a card to someone with a chicken on it.
I like your Style - I'm with Michelle Laycock on this one!!!
Wisecracks - Yikes!!! Skeery lookin' gal!
Someone mentioned the Sweet Songbirds set - yowza! Have y'all looked at this one? There's birds flyin' around in the air with a b-day cake!
I don't think anyone has mentioned Charming Children (wink wink)
Fresh Flowers - I, too, was told by my upline that this is a GREAT set! I got it, hated it, never used it, and then sold it!!!
Stardust - weird, just weird
Those dang knomes!
I agree! It would have been more aptly named "Say Something Rat"......those are the scariest looking mice I've ever seen!
Coletta
Now THAT'S funny!
