You have no idea how many times I got birthday or Christmas presents like that. "Why did I get this?" But I will always end up using them a lot. i.e., My brother-in-law gave me a Martha Stewart blanket one year. My thought was, "ugh!" It's probably one of the most used and most loved blankets I have.
LOL!
I had the same reaction to a huge mixing bowl my SIL gave me one year for Christmas.............I don't know what I would do with out that bowl now :)
