OK.... absolute worst, without doubt.... gift from an Aunt when I bought my house in the UK. It was a clock. Harmless enough, right? WRONG!!! I shall have to describe it. Picture this: 3 feet long, 10 inches wide, about 5 inches deep.... gold frame... black velvet lining.... with a gold clock on one side and a gold and red peacock sticking out from the other side.
Unfortunately, my clumsy brother dropped it when I moved in and it broke. Shame.
That's one mother of a clock. Did you make the mistake of telling her you had a fireplace mantle? Otherwise, where would you put it if you didn't? Maybe it was a joke. I once bought someone a plastic pink flamingo for his front lawn, but he knew it was a joke (based on circumstances). At least I hope he did. Hmmm.
Actually, yea. My place is 500 years old and I said it had a massive fireplace and she thought I needed 'something impactive'... Impactive maybe but ugly as all hell.
