I'll go first:

One year, my stepdad put a small can of feminine deodorant in my stocking (I assume he thought it was just a regular trial-sized deodorant), "in case I was ever out and needed to freshen up!"

    A white vinyl purse with a BBQ lighter tucked in the pocket my brother and sister in law got at a cirque du Soleil performance. It was hideous and I was pregnant and cried and then saw the BBQ lighter and was like wtf. I gave her a nice coach wristlet. of course I guess it wasn't any worse than the bronze horse statue she gave hubs the next year. luckily she's an ex now

    My (now ex) husband got me a "Twilight" novel. I was pursuing a graduate degree in English literature at the time. It was really sad. He didn't know me at all at that point.

    My ex hubs was really horrible at gift giving. Like would call me from the mall on my birthday and ask what I wanted because he'd been shopping all day and couldn't figure out what to buy.

    Legit....one year I think on valentine's day he gave me a candy bar, some funny card, and a shower head. And not the good massaging kind. It was so random and weird.

    a scarf ring holder thing from my ex husband. A 65 year old woman would have loved it I bet. I didn't

    My grandmother gave me an urn she found at a yard sale because "it'll make a pretty vase!"

    It seriously looked like it was supposed to be holding someone's ashes.

    An electric toothbrush and toothpaste.. I opened it up and looked at everyone and blurted out, "is someone trying to tell me something"? They said that was for someone else, they ended up giving me kitchen pot holders and dish cloths (did not match my kitchen).. Maybe I should have kept the toothbrush..

    eta this was from my brother and sister in-laws.

    A (now ex) gave me a wall clock in the shape of a wrist watch. With a picture of a car as the clock face (no, I am not a car person and have never shown any interest in cars except to put petrol into my own car and occasionally wash her). He left the price tag on, it cost €6. I bought him over €500 worth of LOTR memorabilia that he practically begged for. And he then sold it all. 3 months later. For €100.
