'I got a check... for $5. It bounced and cost me $10': 20+ Birthday gifts that were major disappointments

Is it better to get a bad birthday gift, or to not receive one at all? These birthday boys and girls would probably argue that it's better to get no gift rather than a completely thoughtless one. Maybe you're thinking that they're just being ungrateful. Well… perhaps. But what about the person who was gifted a KitKat bar, and then told that the reason was that they were 2 for $3? That person only got one KitKat bar! The gifter had to brag about the price point while not even giving the birthday kid the full gift.

Other people were given checks that bounced, leaving them with less money than before after paying their banks' fees. One kid got just school supplies! There are clearly plenty of ways to not gift someone properly, and these people can tell you all about it, thanks to u/andrewsteiner88's intriguing question. Maybe it'll spark memories of your worst birthday gift, like getting back something you regifted, or getting a present from someone who knows nothing about your interests and just took a wild guess. Check out a collection of the funniest answers below!
