What is the absolute worst Christmas present you got this year? Bonus points for tacky, thoughtless, cheap, regifted, insensitive, inappropriate, obscene, ridiculous, ugly, obviously from the 99-cent store, "have you met me?", and WTF.

For example: a calendar called "Endangerously Yours" featuring pictures of adorable baby animals...who are endangered. So: "aww, so cute!" followed immediately by CRUSHING GUILT and "OMG, you could be extinct before the year is out, OMGOMGOMG!" ...and I can't even return it because "a portion of the proceeds goes towards etc, etc." It's like an albatross made out of ALL THE BAD FEELS. Please share the items that most made you make that horrible cringe-smile awkward face while I figure out which of my terrible coworkers gets regifted this odious year-long guilt trip.

One of my co-workers brought slippers made out of maxi pads for our office white elephant.

My mother gave my 5 year old owl magazines...from 1976....which were our neighbour's originally at that time...which were mouldy.
