I think the "worst" thing I ever got was a VR headset. It wasn't a bad present per say and I really liked it at the time but unfortunately the VR space died pretty fast and it was completely useless soon after I got it.

Edit: it was a headset where you put your phone inside, I should have said that first

Arkham Shadow just came out on VR and people are saying it rivals other games like HL: Alyx in terms of scope and quality.

I'm watching a playthrough right now and it's blowing my mind how awesome it looks to actually be Batman

Mug from Hotspot, probably. It's actually pretty great though.

Sounds really fucked up of me, but I once had a girlfriend gift me a painting she made for me. I could tell she really tried, took her time, spent money on it, and she chose a subject matter I really liked, but it was absolutely terrible. One of the worst paintings I've ever seen.

It put me in such a dilemma because she even framed it and was expecting me to hang it up at my place but I couldn't bear to hang it and see it 'decorating' my place. I thanked her a lot when she gave it to me but I would've preferred she had gotten me nothing instead.

No, I broke up with her about a month or so later and threw it away.

My grandmother bought me a dark green, polyester, turtle-neck shirt; when I was 12. I never even tried it on.

I think I only ever received one good present.
