Etiquette challenge: Worst gift ever?

Yes, it's the thought that counts, but sometimes, those gifts demonstrate how little we're thought of.

Did you knock yourself out for the boss and receive a pair of $1 Walgreen's stretchy gloves? Or giggle with your girlfriend about what great gifts you were getting, only to open the box and find a fruitcake?

Tell me about the worst gift you ever received -- for Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Birthday, Retirement -- or any reason.

Post your frustrating tales in the comments, or email them to me at etiquetteb[at]gmail[dot]com.

Is it what you hoped for? Or is it crap?
