The only time I ever received anything weird was at a white elephant party where you just randomly selected a gift from beneath the tree...I got a nice shiny new vibrator which my wife was pretty happy about...7

Now that WAS highly inconsiderate of her. Glad she's your ex, there's way better out there!0 -

At least some antibiotics took care of the problem and it was not more serious.1 -
I got a melon baller and a really bad smelling candle from a boyfriend one year. That was it. It's like he had gone to the dollar store and taken the 2 items nearest to the cash register. The melon baller was especially puzzling.1

I love how many of these gifts were given by people who are now ex's.

A useless kitchen tool for all those times you really want your melon to be shaped like a small ball, which for me, is exactly never.

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.
Lmao. I was just about to come in here and post that a few years back my husband gave me a shower head for Christmas and these super ugly puke green colored dishes. The shower head wasn't a special one.. it was just a normal old shower head. I wasn't ungrateful but inside I wanted to cry and scream. I made a joke about it and his response was "Well we needed a new shower head." I wanted to yell back "SO YOU EFFING GAVE ME ONE FOR CHRISTMAS WHEN WE WOULD HAVE JUST BOUGHT ONE ANYWAY????"
* motor returns shower head to Home Depot; gift receipt no longer needed.3 -
My former roommate's girlfriend was expecting an engagement ring at Christmas.
Instead, he gave her a microwave safe warming tray.
... she might have been a little disappointed.0 -

Don't return it! Depending on which one you picked, it could be a great gift!0 -
WORST: expired Russian chocolates from my ex. He knew I was trying to lose weight, that I don't really like chocolate, and that I'd asked him previously to stop giving me cheap gross chocolate. Plus they were expired.
In high school my dad gave me a student bible, with anecdotes and lots of discussing relatable situations young adults face. At the time I wasn't ungrateful, but it was definitely not something I was overly excited about. In retrospect it was one of the best gifts I've ever gotten, and I loaned it out to others throughout my late twenties. I came across it recently, it was all torn up, cover missing, stained and dog-eared. I'm not sure if I kept it though <.< I kinda hope I did.2 -
I forgot the Christmas my aunt found Jesus and gifted the entire family some book from her church.1

My mom used to put gifts inside of empty cake mix and cereal boxes. She'd drop a video game inside a Duncan Hines Angel Food Cake mix box and gift wrap that. So weird.
And now I do it.4 -
These are some of the funniest stories I've ever heard. I have nothing to add, except I'm counting my blessings right about now1

My cousin (who is a year younger than me) got me the Pam Anderson/Tommy Lee Porn Video with Bonus Tanya Harding Wedding Night Porn. Which I opened at Christmas at her parents apartment with my father, aunt, uncle and my uncles young kids there because of course I didn't know what it was going to be. It was horrifying (I am easily embarrassed) and I tossed it in the dumpster outside their apartment on the way home.1

When I was in high school my dad had a heart attack and on Christmas morning that year I opened a box containing a black dress that my dad immediately informed me I could wear to his upcoming funeral. It was not a horrible dress but the message was pretty upsetting.
My dad is still around 26 years later btw.1 -

Much to my surprise, inside was a box of tongue depressors, some gauze, a few bottles of baby oil, packets of Vaseline, some pamphlets from some places she had visited, and a small Canadian flag on a stick.
She meant well...
OMG, that's my mother-in-law. So random.0
