What is the worst gift you have ever given or received? As for myself, that is an easy one. My first wife was Oriental and we had only been married a short time when I received transfer papers that sent me to an aircraft carrier serving in Vietnam. Being young and stupid, plus being stuck aboard an aircraft carrier with a very limited selection of stuff for females, I purchased a ladies electric razor for her as a gift. I forgot, oriental women don't grow hair. (In my defense, my next gifts to her were a bottle of perfume, retail price $480.00 an ounce and a cashmere sweater and she liked neither.)
The worst gift I ever received was an object about 2" in diameter and about 4" high. The object has a wooden base with a glass dome. It was purchased at Belks for $3.25 after having been marked down 3 times from its original price of $12.50. I know this because the price stickers were left on the thing. I believe the gift was meant as an insult. If so, it succeeded.
