I was about 12.. I got a West Coast Choppers oversized coffee mug. I do not enjoy West Coast Choppers or motorcycles. I did not drink coffee and even if I did, this mug was too big to drink anything out of anyways. That's probably the least thoughtful gift I've ever got.. But my "award winning" worst Christmas gift..
Remember the WWF Popcorn? Came in a "gift set" and was generally a pretty wtf reminder of the Attitude Era? In 2007 (which would've been about 5 years after this popcorn was last made) my aunt gave me one of these gift sets. Pretty thoughtless gift already.. Made even more thoughtless by the fact the shrink wrap was broken and the back of the box had been chewed into by a mouse. I was given mouse contaminated stale popcorn as a Christmas gift. The same year, she gave my brother a Colts hooded sweatshirt. This gift was so awful when I entered it in the Bryan & Vinny (and Granny) show's worst Christmas gift contest in 2012 or 2013, it won and I won a copy of the newest WWE game! Except it took Bryan until about March to mail it out, and it was for PS3 and I had an Xbox 360, but I was able to return it to Walmart for $60 store credit, because they had no copies on 360 to exchange it for.

I guess I've been pretty lucky with Christmas gifts. Worst one I can think of was a tool set when I was 9 or ten. It sucked at the time, but over the years, I've actually used that tool set a LOT (and still have every piece to it), so I guess "Santa" knew what he was doing after all.

I bought that popcorn set at a Rite Aid around 2000. It tasted like sh*t.

I've never gotten anything that I'd truly consider a "bad" gift. Maybe one or two toys when I was a kid that I never played with, but that's it.

Mine was a jigsaw puzzle with flowers on it from a frugal aunt that takes bad gifts given to her and recycles them as gifts for others.

A baby doll.
My parents accidentally wrote my name instead of my sister's.

When I was 12 my best friend and I were bored one day when my parents weren't home and were looking around the house for something to do when we noticed that my parents queen size bed was covered in wrapped presents. He freaked out because he thought they were all for me. We start looking at everything and they were all for my niece and nephew. He said "If they're going to spend this much on type sister's kids, just imagine what they're doing to spend on you!"
That year I got a fax machine. Again, I was 12.
There were a few years that come close to that but weren't as bad, like getting a basketball hoop despite not liking basketball and some Jakks two pack with Eddie thought after he died when I was like 22. Another bad Christmas when I was a kid when they Dane best friend convinced me to snoop on my gifts. I got some cool stuff that year but the surprise was ruined, which I think is the best part of presents. So if any of you have kids, tell them not to snoop. They'll regret it if they do.

My parents honesty thought they'd gotten me this great gift and I felt bad. But that had faded when about six months later they asked why I can't hadn't used it yet. I said "Because I'm not a small business owner."

A PS2 when I was 9. Why was it bad? Because my parents took my own money to buy my Christmas present. The only other thing I got that year was a toy belt US Title that came with Booker T and Chris a Benoit. That was cool at least. I did love the PS2, but they still took my money to buy it..
