I dunno, I find Charles Manson hilarious on occasion.

Cheap, shitty trinkets with hearts and "I love you" printed all over. For my 18th. And he had the gall to say "yeah, well I was intending to get you [nice, pretty-sounding thing I would have actually enjoyed], but I couldn't find the exact one I was picturing so I got you these instead." Nice save, there.
I don't expect expensive gifts. Hell, I don't even expect particularly good ones, because I know how hard it can be to buy presents for people. But don't make it look like you ran into a random store and picked up the first thing you saw.

I am not too fussed about gifts normally, I love receiving them but I don't expect them from anyone, including my family. I was a bit hurt when the boy I was seeing didn't get me anything for Christmas since we saw each other on Boxing Day, but he was horribly broke. I think what was awkward was that he didn't mention anything about it, despite me turning up with a big food hamper full of posh food and beer. I would have been totally happy with "I'm afraid I couldn't afford to buy you anything" but just to not say anything at all made me feel like he'd just forgotten and then didn't want to admit it.

Not the worst present, but still a little painful. It was my 23rd birthday, and I was coming home from work. Got home and my sister gave me a special edition dvd and a t-shirt, wrapped in great wrapping paper. (I'm used to that, my birthday is the 13th of December, so I tend to get more at Christmas than normal)
Then my father came up to me, and handed me a plastic bag with a rugby shirt... it was...well, lets just say it was garish and leave it at that. To top it off, he hadn't bothered to take the price tag off.
I wasn't angry, or even disappointed, but I do get the feeling that when I went out for a walk my sister chewed him out because when I got back, he looked very sheepish.
