Useless Things to Buy and Receive
Quite possibly, one of the most useless things sold are bookmarks. I haven't yet had the need for fancy bookmarks, having satisfied myself with a sheet of paper or tissue, or right now, a small packet of wet wipes. Sure, they come in different sizes and shapes and some look heavily decorated, but since I never read more than one or two books at a time and always finish them, they end up being a completely useless part to decorate.
Next to bookmarks, I'd put picture frames - seemingly the default gift alongside candles and scented bath oils. There appears to be so very few picture frames in use at any one time at my house, that I look at them with a view of disdain. They take up my space! They take up precious space for books. Useful things!
Game expansions without the main game are a major source of disappointment out there, simply because you can't use it immediately out of the box. Without the main game, it's as useless as... a very useless thing.
