Best and worse Secret Santa's?

Inspired by the "arts and crafts" bespectacled Easter Island head, what are your best and worse SS gifts?

I was given a used dog toy when I have never had a dog and have no intention of ever getting one. Even for a last minute I-forgot-and-don't-know/like-her gift it was pretty bad. I don't think they were trying to tell me anything! 🤣

I was given a pack of scented drawer liners. I know who gave me that and I think they genuinely thought I'd like them. They were odd!

I was also given a framed picture of cutesy mouse because apparently I'm quiet. I found that quite insulting and what on earth was I meant to do with it?

Best gift? Er... um... a generic hand cream because it actually has a use.

Disclaimer - I know SS is meant to be a bit of nonsense. I don't do it anymore after the mouse picture.

Best - Amazon voucher. Easy. Nice. Helpful.

Worst - Katie Price scented beauty gift set. I'm male.

Worst - nipple cream (Anne Summers type) from somebody in a mixed team I was fairly new to. It went straight in the bin, I was not at all worried that it would offend the giver. I showed that no thought at all had gone into the gift other than trying to get a cheap laugh. Conversely, I had bought a nice china mug and matching coaster with cats on for somebody I knew was cat mad and that drank a LOT of tea. Best - probably the diabetic chocolates that showed that somebody had paid attention when I was sad I couldn't enjoy the tub of chocolates in the office because I am diabetic.
