Man, I got one of those when I was a kid too. I thought it was the coolest thing ever when I opened it but I think I played it once or twice. It was this exact one:

When I was in my teens a lady bought me the ugliest sweater possible from Soul Train Fashions in Bon Marche Mall. It was electric blue with black pleather patches in various spots. Returning it was awkward.

Probably when a young man and I got a bottle of English Leather Cologne from someone.
At the time it was heavily advertised on TV and I guess they thought it a good cologne. In reality, is smelled like a wet shoe worn by someone with foot odor issues.

My worst present, and I feel bad about it now, was an Action Max. I wanted a Nintendo. My parents couldn't afford a Nintendo. So, they bought me an Action Max. It was something you would hook up to the VCR and had a gun and you would have to shoot things on the TV for points. It was horrible.

Fruitcake, I hate fruitcake
My wife (no pics) has an aunt who makes a fruitcake with dark rum in it. Regular size cake that has a liter of rum. I dont know how it stays together, it should have the consistency of pudding but its pretty good.

My mother in law always bought stuff that was to use for my husband - it was never really for me. A pair of clippers to cut his hair, bed sheets (wrong size), and big fuzzy blanket (my husband is always warm, so we didn’t need that), pots & pans - so things like that. And she’d always preface giving the gift with ‘it’s the thought that counts’.
My husband would say ‘yeah but you didn’t think.’
I didn’t care about it. I just hated the commotion.

Aunt Ruby was my great aunt who had money and no kids. Christmas morning 1961 at my grandmother's house, when I was about 8, she told my older brother, my younger cousin, and me that she would give us each 75 cents to go get all the gifts out of her car. we did, and she gave the 75 cents to steve and joey, but told me "i drew your name, and i already got you something, so no 75 cents for you"
Time came to open presents, and my gift from cheap-arse Aunt Ruby was a package of white socks that probably cost her less than the 75 cents. i think they ended up in the trash at my grandmother's. I know I never saw them again or wore them, and I was never anything more than marginally polite to Ruby again.

My mom once gifted me a men's Fubu jersey and men's cologne. Not sure if that was in the same year or different years. It was a long time ago.

Fauci gave my dad COVID and Remdesivir and killed him. Sucked for him more than me, but then it cost me $250k plus to keep our business open and replace him. I want my pound of flesh.

A few years ago, my mom got me a beanie. It was toddler sized.

When I was about 11 and my bother 8ish my aunt, fresh off her attendance of a Kid Rock Concert bought us concert T shirts. She made us open them away from everyone else, but when at that age we both knew they were pretty inappropriate. My brothers had a cartoon stripper in the background and Kid Rock and said something like “Pimp of the Nation”. Mine had Kid Rock dressed as Uncle Sam and it said “I Want My Balls in Your Mouth”. My mom threw them in the trash immediately once we got home.
A couple years ago I found the shirt my brother got online and bought it for him and gifted it to him on Christmas Eve.

If it’s not horse hair is it really “pro level”?
But I agree with you on those fricking soft tip plastic darts. Those are crap.

Barbie doll.
My aunt told me if I didn't tell her what I wanted for Christmas that she would just get me a Barbie doll and sure enough thats what she did.

my uncle, who was a Vietnam vet and saw a lot of horrible stuff. so, when he could pull it together for a while and hold a job. He would give me albums or tapes of music he thought I would like. He had come in for Thanksgiving and was asking me if he could see my music collection. He was looking at it and i told him i needed something to keep them in order. That Christmas he got me colored note- cards. at the time was the worst gift ever, but I was 15. I wish I still had those note-cards at 54
