What's the worst gift you've ever gotten?

[Cosmic]

My grandma won a fake Teletubby in a raffle. Teletubbies is/was a TV programme aimed at children under the age of five. I was nine.

Despite the fact it hadn't cost her a penny she was clearly pissed I didn't want a giant Tinky Winky to call my own and then proceeded to guilt trip me by deliberately leaving it out in the front room, where it remained until she moved house and by some stroke of mercy had no choice but to get rid of the sodding thing. Every weekend I would visit her and sure enough that purple apparition would be sat in a chair, leering at me with those gormless black eyes and a shit eating grin smeared across its face.

Who doesn't know about Teletubbies?

I was mostly hoping it hadn't made its way across the Atlantic. Oh dear.

Yeah, I was too old for them but I remember that crap. Shit eating grin is a perfect descriptor btw.

It was released in a bunch of countries. The IMDB page has 'The Sun' listed for 335 episodes, and everyone else for much less .

Worst Christmas present I ever got was an empty box. They expected me to ply in it when I was little and I looked back with a dumb face.

A gift card with a low valuer ($5) compared to the one written on the card ($50). Imagine my surprise at the checkout stand.

Well, in 2007 someone gave me a candle... in the summer!

...

Now that I think of, something even stranger happened that same summer.
This is not really a "worst gift" but it was a "weird gift" to say the least.
It goes like this: I met a girl in that summer, we kinda got friends and such,
(we were in a big group, and I really did not talk much with her) but, after
2 weeks, before their departure (summer was ending) she, well, gave me
this tiny little bottle with colorful "confetti-like things" inside and, well...
a photo of her...
...
I mean, why would another girl want me to have a bottle with her picture inside?

That's too good.

Vitamin samples from a dollar store.
That had already expired.

My Dad is a compulsive bargain hunter/pack rat who always gives me crap he gets from flea markets, garage sales, bargain outlets, Goodwill, dollar stores...one time he gave me like 8 packs of suction cups.

I've still got one of the 5 or so bottles of jumbo-sized, generic, Gold Bond-knockoff, medicated powder that he's given me.
It's got to be over 10 years old now. (I rarely use it as I don't get rashes that often).

And yes, these were all birthday & X-Mas presents.
He has gotten me some cool stuff too, here and there, but with him it's very hit-or-miss.
