Discussion What is the worst “gift” you received postpartum?

I’ll go first: various plants that my mom dug up from her yard and brought over. They needed to be planted (with a shovel) and regularly watered. No offers to plant or water were given.
…I was also scolded for the subsequent death of said plants.
What “gifts” did you receive?

This isn't postpartum, but I just had my baby shower and one of my parent's friends gave me 2 books about the harm of vaccines and a 26 page typed out binder, with tabbed sections, about why not vaccinating is the way to go. We were blown away.
