My mom went one Christmas where she decided she would buy my brother and myself nothing but non-'entertainment' related things. Since I'm an uber-nerd and only care about movies and games and books and the like, I was kinda disappointed when I was getting puzzles and an astromony thing and clothes. The worst part is they're gifts, so you have to pretend they're all cool no matter how bad they are.

Oh, and when I was 16 my dad bought me a Dragon Ball Z t-shirt and I about died from choking on my own vomit.
