15 Christmas Gifts No One Wants to Get

We’ve all had those nightmares where we get the worst gifts possible for Christmas. Everyone has also been in the position where they don’t know what to gift someone. Well, here are 15 Christmas gifts to avoid in your nightmares and your gift giving!

Underpants

Underpants

Even if you can guess someone’s size, you probably don’t know the style they prefer. Plus, why would you force someone to unwrap them in front of a crowd?

Socks

Socks

When they cost less than a dollar and come in a pack, all socks say is that someone has been thinking about your feet way too much. This gift is also a dead giveaway that someone has no clue what you like. If you receive this gift from a significant other, run!

Hobby Ties

Whether you like music or golf, your hobby should stay where it belongs. Under no circumstances should it be wrapped around your neck! Too bad your matching shirt "got lost" at the dry cleaners. Oh, darn!

Fruitcake

Fruitcake

No one likes getting fruitcake, but it’s actually pretty tasty. The thing about fruitcake is that it can stay good for up to 25 years. Maybe it isn’t that awful of a choice afterall… 

Soap Baskets

Soap Baskets

A nice basket full of bath products that smell like your favorite flower may indicate that the gift giver was thinking of your relaxation. However, there will always be that tiny voice in the back of your mind wondering if it’s an indication of your hygiene habits. 

Perfume

Perfume

Most people are picky about how they smell, and certain scents appeal to certain people. So, unless you know a specific perfume someone loves and is running low on, avoid this gift at all costs!

Weight Loss Program Subscriptions

Talk about a not-so-subtle message! Unless someone has specifically asked you to help them out with this expensive purchase, it’s just rude to gift such a thing. 

The Gift You Gave Them Last Year

The Gift You Gave Them Last Year

If you’ve ever been re-gifted something you gifted the year before, you’re probably questioning a lot of things. Did they forget you gave it to them? Do they not care? Are you a bad gift giver? 

Ugly Statues

Ugly Statues

Even if it isn’t ugly, what are the chances it will go well with the rest of their home decor? By purchasing this gift, you’re forcing the receiver to place it on a pedestal in their home in fear of offending you. Don’t be that person!

Fruit Baskets

Fruit Baskets

By the time you receive one of these, half the fruit has usually gone bad. The other half will probably never get eaten, so these are basically centerpieces you hope rot quickly. 

Handcrafted Anything

Handcrafted Anything

Some people can make really cute snowman ornaments, but most of us just aren’t meant to be crafters. It’s simply painful to have to put a pasta necklace on for Christmas dinner that you got from a 30-year-old. 

Toiletries

Toiletries

Toothbrushes, toilet paper, and deodorant all send a message no one wants to hear. Only give these gifts if you want someone to know you don’t care about them. 

Bobblehead Dolls

Bobblehead Dolls

The kind of people that stick bobblehead dolls to their dashboard need to be in charge of buying their own bobblehead dolls. Also, just because you like hula girls doesn’t mean they don’t creep other people out!

Life-Size Dolls

Life-Size Dolls

Have you seen Annabelle? Even when you’re little, giant dolls with blank expressions are creepy. When you’re an adult, it’s a completely different kind of terrifying!

I’m not sure why anyone would think Windex makes a good Christmas gift, but it has been done. Don’t worry, though. I’m sure your mother-in-law wants to feel like her house is a disgusting pig stye!
