How about no gifts? There was one year, my first year in college, when I was living away from home. I got 1 card from my parents 2 days late (took two days to get from their place to mine) and no birthday cake or presents from ANYONE. No one even called to tell me Happy Birthday.
As far as worst gift - For one Birthday my mother got me a really outdated dress from a rummage sale. I was 17 years old and a perfect size 7 - the dress she got me was a size 14. It was depressing.
I gotta include one more. I know you asked for the WORST but I can't help it. My family is bad at giving gifts. I'm terribly allergic to pollen and cutting the grass in the summer makes me literally sick. Consequently the smell of grass is unpleasant to me. My brother got me a grass scented candle. I 'loved' it (note sarcasm).
