While some say it was bad taste to get cheap ass gifts, i say its bad taste to complain about free shit you get as a gift, regardless of what it is.
I would say that only counts if there is actually thought put into it.

If someone gives me cologne, I'm going to think they're a tool because I NEVER wear cologne.

If someone gives me a Baltimore Ravens jersey, I'm going to think they're a tool because I am a Steelers fan and as such I despise the Ravens.

If someone gives me "The Audacity of Hope", I'm going to think they're a tool because... well... no explanation necessary.


As for the party reference... that kind of thing is a no-brainer... take some wine or a marble rye.
