Default Worst Holiday Gift Ever?

In the spirit of the season, tell us what you worst gift ever has been (holidays or otherwise)?

Did you get socks as a main gift? A cheap houseware from a best friend? Tell us!

okay,basically,if this were a contest on who got the worst present EVER,i would win.
bless her heart... my good friend last year bought me 10 dollars worth of dollar store items.
and christmas isn't about money,so i don't care about that,but she totally WASTED 10 dollars on stuff i would never use:
ie : a toy shark,crayons and a coloring book,"musical instruments"set,a keychain,toy dinosaurs,and a whoopy cushion...

i pretended to reallly like it,but.
i am not 5 years old anymore. LOL

All of my friends knows that I don't like anything that is scented. One of my friend last year got me products from the Cranberry something series from Body Shop and she sprayed the body spray right after I opened the present. I'm sorry but I couldn't help it but sneeze and had to head outside for some fresh air on a cold winter day!

diapers aren't cheap and i personally would have very much appreciated the gift of an essential item that would not go to waste.

Default Christmas

One Christmas our family was economizing and we all put our names in a hat and just bought one present for one person. My sister Melody pulled my name and gave me this mechanical dog. It was white, fluffy and would bark and do flips. I couldn't hold back the tears. It was the only present I got and I was 22 years old. It was the lamest thing I had ever seen!

Awww! Everything sounded so good up until the "I was 22 years old" part!

A charm bracelet, then I found out all the charms were from the dollar store.
