I hated this gift given by my grandparents : a flat wood-carved rooster
From : Anon

As kids, we had grandparents who were totally disconnected in regard to family.
We never really knew them, and they were all about living it up and blowing their wad.
So, I received many ridiculous gifts from them (when they DID send gifts). One Christmas, I received (and I can’t believe I’m saying this) a flat wood-carved rooster. It was
painted with red and white and some other colors. This is the kind of thing where you would think: “How did this item even come into existence? Who actually came up with the idea of carving this goofy looking rooster?”
Now, keep in mind, I’m like elementary school age at the time. What in the world will a little kid who’s into GI Joe, He-Man and Transformers ever do with a 7in x 10in wooden rooster?
I think we kept that rooster around for a few years just for laughs. It was flat
too, like maybe half an inch thick. It was just a flat painted rooster. I still laugh thinking back to that thing. Where the heck did my grandparents get it? The mystery will never be solved.
I don’t know if that’s my worst gift EVER, but it’s only hideously ridiculous gift I can think of right now.
