The Worst Presents Ever

10. Fruit Cake

Have you ever noticed that all fruitcakes look the same, and have a shelf life of about a millennium? Kind of makes you wonder…

9. Car parts

Unless they ask, avoid buying them a new door- especially if it’s a different color then the one they broke off.

8. Underwear

Never underestimate the destructive power of grandma-style underwear.

7. Office supplies

Giving them a stapler may seem like a good idea at the time, but they wont appreciate it in the long run.

6. Recycled gifts

Giving someone something you hated last year probably wont make them love it any more than you did.

5. The free gift you got in the cereal box or by renewing a subscription

Be thoughtful. The cheap stuff they give you as a thank you are usually very easily recognized and may cause relationship strain.

4. Pajamas

Especially if they have anything to do with pink bunnies.

3. Personal hygiene products

Nothing says you love a person like a nice toothbrush.

2. Appliances

Buying them a vacuum is guaranteed to make them wonder if their house is really that messy- or if you’re OCD.

1. Fake Jewelry

Buying a cubic zirconium ring for someone you love will come back and bite you someday when you least expect it.

Also- Avoid any kind of pet unless you know for sure they aren’t going to be allergic to it.
