The best thing about those is they'd kill your battery so fast you'd have to shutdown and go inside to recharge.
I think that the Chia Pet pretty much takes the cake - it doesn't even pretend to be useful.
Nope,this year I am getting everyone Apostle Corp. Nanite PrezzyPaks (TM), the gift that configures itself. "It's just what I wanted, as soon as I decide what that is."

That reminds me of a certain Harry Potter vibrating toy wand from a few years back. Some parents tried to sue the company because they caught their daughter using it in her "special place". I think they discontinued it.

I'd have to say that anything that sings (bass, gophers, Elvises, Santas, whatevers) is pretty pointless, especially when given to an adult. Amusing sometimes, but pointless.
My toddler, Alex, was fascinated by a singing bass at the fair this Summer. We must have made it go twenty times before he lost interest.
I'd nominate those huge turkey fryer things, honestly, how often is anyone going to use one; once, twice a year?

Musical socks.
I'm not a fan of musical anything, but strange high-pitched warbling from under the table which no-one wants to admit is coming from them? And they almost always design them so that the sensor is light enough that a pair of thick trousers can set it off, and place it so low you can't wear anything higher than slippers without it getting stuck on.

They're $30 at ThinkGeek, which is odd, because the USB drink <i>cooler</i> is only $13.

LOL. That made me think about the musical panties I was given at my bachelorette party. They played "Here Comes The Bride" of course. :tsktsk:

Who the hell gave you musical panties?
