25 of the Worst Wedding Gifts People Have Received

Despite the tried-and-true custom of selecting gifts directly from a wedding registry, there are always going to be people who go rogue. But from the looks of things, those people should be banned from gift-giving of any kind — weddings or otherwise. For instance: One newlywed mentioned receiving a comforter set for a waterbed addressed to them and Doug. They had no clue who Doug was, nor did they own a waterbed. So not only did they get a worthless gift, but they were totally baffled about it, too. 

Other Redditors have lamented the worst gifts they’ve ever gotten on their big days, and this much is certain: We’re all doing way too much regifting. 

toru92 1y ago Shared this on a similar post a few days ago. Someone got me one of those blankets with a couple in a car saying just married that you can customize the name and date. The only problem, it was a white blonde lady and a white blonde male. I'm a black woman with black curly hair and my husband, while white, has brown hair... it was baffling to me that it didn't cross my friends mind that I'm black and not to buy a blanket with a white lady on it? 273 Reply ...

troixetoiles 1y ago A didgeridoo. A professional quality one, too. Not a painted touristy one. My husband and I got married while we were living in Australia for my job. My bosses chipped in to get it for us.

LakiPingvin 4y ago It's a custom to give cash gifts in my country, in an envelope with a card. One of envelopes we got had our names on it, but no card or cash inside.

turtlesrkool 1y ago My cousin fancies himself a woodworker. Не made us an extremely heavy and quite large...coat rack I think? It was very messily engraved as well.

TNTmom4 1y ago My bridesmaid regifted a VERY ugly serving set that still had a card in it from HER $$ wedding. Now SHE the one who demanded $$ gifts and expressed how much she hated regifts.

mountlane 1y ago When my parents got married in the '80's, my mom's SIL got them a serving set shaped as pineapples. A pineapple platter, pineapple big bowl, six pineapple small bowls. Extremely not to either of my parents' tastes. My mom put the whole set away under the sink. When I moved out, she remembered the set existed and gave it to me. I only use it because I don't have any other serving set when we have people over. 47 Reply ...
