How not to make an error page, by offering a list of missing "error gifts".

While trying to find more information on a product listed on one site, I ended up with an error page via Go-1-Better. The page just said "ERROR ...", with a mysterious link marked "List all error gifts". What could they mean? I tried the link and came up with a page allowing you to sort and filter a list of... nothing! There were even links to more information on a list of empty products. Maybe they were invisible.

It's great to know people are allowing for errors on their sites, and avoiding any possible confusion for the user. This is one site I won't be using again.
