Regifting anything, ever.
"My mother gave me a book for Christmas that I gave to her for her birthday a year before. She acted as though she purchased it for me. I wrote a note in it to her, so I know it was the copy I gave to her.
"Also my mother-in-law gave me a box of plastic forks for Christmas last year. I'm chalking that one up to dementia." - Redditor j_Truant
A gift card worth 53 cents
"Rather mundane, but my aunt once sent me a birthday gift from another country that was a Walmart gift card for like $10. It was also mostly empty and had a balance of like 53 cents." - Redditor AngeloMonharti
A horse calendar and a check for $17.02
"I have an uncle I don't really know who lives down south and thinks he's a cowboy. He would give me gifts of things he likes but I definitely did not.
"One Christmas when I was a kid, he gave me a detailed book about guns and a check for $8.56.
"The next Christmas it was a horse calendar and a check for $17.02.
"Eventually we figured out that apparently he set out a $30 budget for my gift and would give the exact remainder as a check. He's weird." - Redditor EricksA2
