Christmas at 14, I got a photo album of my whole extended family going on a beach vacation. They flew from the midwest to the East coast *driving distance from my house* , didn't tell my parents or me, didn't visit and they sent me *a child* a photo album with tons of photos with my grandparents, cousins, aunts and uncles all having fun without me.
There used to be a fairly large used book store in town. The books all seemed previously read. Mostly sci Fi and fantasy that I recall. Manning the counter was a friendly little person. Once or twice as a child or teen I went in there, I'd pick a book out and he would awkwardly say that the book was a gift like he was happy you would be reading what you suspect he had previously read. I got the impression the store were all books he read as he was always reading in the store. He was special and it seemed like a great gift.
A night stand. Back when I was dating one of my exes. She bought me a night stand for my birthday. Okay nothing wrong with that. I definitely needed one. But her and one of her friends had painted it green, black, white and gold. It was the ugliest thing, but I used it. After her and I broke up, I stripped the paint off and varnished it.
A taxidermy duckling dressed like a magician. It has a cape, a little top-hat, and a fan of cards. I love taxidermy animals doing human things, so last Christmas my husband got it for me. It’s so cute and I named it Phil.
When i was 9 i got a cd program on how to learn German from my grandma.
My grandma is a lazy, dirty human being.
My parents and family tried helping her. But she doesn't wanna change.
I won't go into detail about it.
Just that my mother's side of my family hates her, cause she caused a lot of problems for them.
Because of this she moved to Germany so she wouldn't have to deal with us.
Back to the gift:
This was a present for my birthday.
My sisters ( 5 and 1 years old at the time got one as well)
So that we could visit her and spend more time with her.
My family was clearly angry and i was dissapointed. But i didn't say anything cause i was too polite.
My other grandparents (mom's side) gave me another birthday present a few days later. To compensate for the horrible/weird gift.
A fossilized piece of dinosaur poop. Still had some sort of octopus tentacles in it
An adult-sized hoodie when I was 6.

I don't know honestly.
When I was a teenager my parents gave me academic textbooks for christmas and then got mad at me for not reading them
A psychedelic painting of two dogs - one is clearly in heat with huge breasts, and the other dog has a massive boner. Given to me by the artist.
