'What I ordered vs. What I got': Top lame Christmas gifts that should put folks on the Naughty List

As children, we're all taught that "we get what we get and we don't get upset."

For some family members, it has simply gotten to the point where we just send each other links of exactly what we want. That's one solution, though it loses the element of surprise. That being said, who wants a surprise if the surprise is as bad as these gifts?
