Not 'bad' as much as 'weird', but a year or so ago, my dad was out of the country for several months visiting family and attending technology conferences. When he came back he presented me with two Clif energy gel shots (actually quite good) and a pair of socks. Not any sort of specially embroidered socks or anything, just a pair of socks that'd been taken out of a bulk package.
It was a nice gesture considering I hadn't been expecting anything, but I don't expect I'll wear them.
