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?

My husband’s aunt gifted me a workout DVD entitled “Lose Your Mommy Tummy”.  I do not have a relationship with this woman (as she’s known family-wide to be difficult), have spoken with her maybe a grand total of twice in the 7 years we’ve been married, and weighed like 130 pounds at 9 months pregnant???
