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

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

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.
