Weddings are the types of affairs that bring out the worst in people. I'm not just talking about bridezillas, or even tacky taffeta and lace mother-of-the-bride dresses, or how the bride's uncle always drinks to much and hits on one of the bridesmaids half his age. No, I'm talking about the gifts. Why does it not occur to people to just give the gift of cash, something every new couple can use appreciate? Instead, they insane amounts of money on utterly useless products that'll sit, boxed, in a closet or shoved in a drawer, only to gather dust and take up space until months or years later when they're finally sold for a buck apiece at a yard sale. Five utterly pointless wedding gifts after the jump:
- Gravy boat
- Stainless steel napkin rings
- Milk frother
- Iced tea maker
- Candle snuffer...because blowing out candles is SO HARD!

So, I'm wondering, what was the most pointless gift you've ever received?
