Yep. Problem was my sister (no pics) would steal it and lock herself in her bedroom with it for hours. Took me YEARS to figure out WTF she could have possibly been doing in there with it.

I received a phonics learning tablet when I was 8 that I thought was stupid as soon as I opened it. And basically made it known. Turns out it was from my grandma and she ran into her bedroom crying. I didn’t know what was going on at first but when I saw the look on my dad’s face I realized I fricked up. This thread just reminded me of that whole memory

My mom got me a screaming goat figurine last year. It made her laugh so she bought it.

One year my sister gifted me a metal cross which stood bout 18 inches tall. She said she found it at an arts and crafts store and thought it was so beautiful. I remember making eye contact with my wife who was trying to hold back a laugh. I don't know where that thing even is now.

Got hit stix (speaker that clipped onto your belt with attached drumsticks) when I was 10 from my aunt and uncle. Wasn’t a terrible gift only problem was the same aunt and uncle proceeded to give me the same thing three years in a row. How many pairs of hit sticks does one really need?
My brother got a vhs tape of recorded Saturday morning cartoons from a different aunt and uncle. We still laugh about that and give them hell every Christmas.

It was the Toto IV album. That is the one with the stupid Africa song on it. What I really wanted was Van Halen Diver Down. Both albums have covers that are red and the adult purchaser must have gotten them mixed up. Not only was it an error, but Toto absolutely sucks and I hated that band.

My grandmother is a sweet lady that's lived in the same home for about 50 years now. The area around her has...changed.
One year she was really excited as I was opening my gift. She said, "all the kids have them these days."
It was a FUBU sweat suit.

Christmas after my momma died (she was really my grandmother, but she’d raised me since I was an infant after my parents were killed in a car accident), I and my bother were sent to live with extended family on my father’s side. I was 14 yrs old. We didn’t know any of these people because momma had kept us away from them growing up because they they were pure trash. But they saw a chance at a payday because both my brother and I received a monthly social security check due to being orphaned.
We lived with an uncle, his wife and two young kids. Their tradition was all of them would go to my fraternal grandparent’s house where all the kids would open their presents. And there were a bunch of them. I had like 4 uncles and 5 aunts and they were all mailed with at least 1 to 4 kids. When it came time to open presents, I saw kids opening all these cool gifts like bikes. Video games, stereos, etc. as for my bother and I, we each got one present each, namely two packs of Walmart tube socks each. And that’s it. Nothing more. Just cheap arse Walmart tube socks.
What really burned me up is I knew full well the presents my uncle and his wife bought their two kids were paid for by them cashing the social security checks meant for my bother and I.
I’ve had a lifelong rule in my house that as far as Christmas goes, there will be no socks given as a present. If anyone in my house needs socks, I’ll gladly go buy them some. But socks are not Christmas presents.

When I was in high school (16 years old) my aunt gave me a fricking transformer toy - it was awkward

My husband bought me a Peleton one year after I had gained a few pounds during the year.
How was the funeral?

I could go on for days…my dad was slipping in his later days… we would get shirts from Dillard or Penney a lot .. now my dad did not believe in buying stuff until on sale.. had to be more than 85 percent off to catch his attention..you can imagine what is on the 90 percent off rack.
Remember the Arnold Palmer shirts that were pullover and an elastic lower half waistband.. they go on 85 percent sale about three years after anyone has seen one in public.
I got tired of the stuff he would get and one year I thought I would make it easier.. I said dad I like bourbon just get me a bottle of nice bourbon.. I got a handle of Jim beam( which is fine buuut).
He gave my son a case of ramen noodles once cause all college kids like ramen noodles.
These are just tip of the iceberg.

My ex wife always gave shitty gifts. Since I'm an Army vet, she would get me an Army throw blanket or one of those Axe gift sets(which she knew I never used). But god forbid if I didn't spend $300+ on her. She would have a meltdown.

My ex mother-in-law got me a pair of fingernail clippers
Strange, considering my nails are always well-groomed
