The worse gift I've ever got was a gift certificate for a manicure. For some people, this is a great gift. Unfortunately, not for me. I dislike manicures in general but I also keep my nails short because I work in a hospital lab. I had decided that I would just let the certificate expire when my mother asked if she could have it for a friend two weeks before it expired. I was happy that someone got to indulge themselves and that the gift wasn't wasted.
