does being pronounced man and wife to my ex-husband count as a gift?????????
If that doesn't count how 'bout my grandfathers 2nd wife leaving my sister and me (his only grandchildren) each a silver candelabra and one of them was severely damaged and a figurative slap in the face.

Anything used. And candles. Also a home made necklace from a friend: I'm not her mommy to be pleased by something my little girl made for me. People are so selfish and cheap.
I find it insulting when I get gifts like these b/c I always put a lot of thought when buying someone a gift: I make sure that the person will like the gift as much as I like it. It doesn't have to be expensive but it can't be poor quality and useless either.

Dead rat or possum. Not sure as I flung it across the room as soon as I figured out there was a dead animal in the box. It had been dead awhile and was kind of shrunk up and mummified. My dad's family takes the gag gift thing to a whole new level. I refused to participate after that. Disgusting! I also used to get some really weird stuff as gifts when I taught school. We would always compare who got the strangest apple themed gift.

My sister in law sells beads and gets free samples of jewelry from vendors. She gave me a sample necklace that was broken and then gave me a used DVD from Blockbuster Video with the necklace. She has A LOT of money and carefully picked out gifts for the rest of the family and they were all new. The WORST gift I got was a re-gift. I bought an expensive set of pajamas for my mother in law. The next year she re-gifted the SAME pajamas BACK to me! She played it off like she picked them especially for me and said "I wasn't sure of your size, I hope they fit" She had NO idea!

A "sacred cod gurgling jug". I kid you not! It was from a very pricey store. I am personally not into material things - but I could certainly found a better use for the money spent on that gift!

A gift I had just given someone 30 minutes ago.
(It was at a party and the hostess must not have liked it and decided to regift it during the party.)

One time I opened a beautiful birthday card from my grandmother expecting to find cash but instead found a newspaper article detailing how to remove pet urine odors from carpeting. Weird, disappointing & insulting!

When I turned 14, my mom gave me an alarm clock for my birthday... The kind that you have to wind up. One that was in her closet for years. I had been grounded and had all music taken away from me, including the clock radio.

A gift I gave them last year. To tell you the truth, I wanted it back anyways :)
Still, its one of the worst for me.
