Inconvenient gifts

Whats a gift you received that turned out to be a nightmare to own. For example a grandfather clock or painting that was initially really cool in the daylight but haunts your home at night. For me it was brookstone gifts, they were amazing gifts that I used damn near everyday but they never lasted more than a year. They were items I couldn't get from anywhere else and everything from brookstone is expensive so to buy them myself just for it to randomly stop working within the year, tragic.
