I never got an awkward gift, but I've sure given some. When we moved for the last time before my dad retired from the Navy, we moved into a neighborhood that really stretched my parents financially, but they wanted us in the best schools. (For which I thank them today) So we had NO money. Like ever. So when I got invited to birthday parties, my mom gave me $5 to get my friends presents. This gets you embarrassing presents for a 13 y.o. to give to his rich ass friends. We're sitting around a table in the $2+mil home of my friend when everyone has gotten him bad ass Super Soakers and video games and bitchin' Lego sets, and I got him a 100 piece puzzle for a toddler. Mortifying.
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great
