Tell Us: What's the Worst Gift You've Ever Received?

Jan shared this one:
"My mother-in-law sent me, a few years ago, and while my girls were still living at home, a birthday present consisting of USED BRAS in a size that would double as an Easter Bonnet. She had known me for probably 20 years by then, and what size I was (NOT THAT). My daughter Gwen, always the Resident Comic Relief, hand-lettered a sign which read, “The Breast Birthday Ever”, put on the bras and had a portrait taken. We still have the picture to this day and always remember it with a fond family laugh, and always wonder exactly what my mother-in-law was thinking when she sent it…..(dementia was never her area of expertise)."
Hussy replied with this one:
"You reminded me of my MIL who is notorious for her awful gifts. One year she gave my husband a panini grill. She left the clearance price sticker on it, didn’t wrap it, and told him to go get it in her garage! Two years ago she gave him a food chopper. When he opened it up, it had some dessicated chopped onions and celery in it!"
