Most women would agree that it we who suffer most from male holiday procrastination. While the girls catch the frenzy early and spend the month shopping, wrapping gifts, baking and decorating, guys have an uncanny ability to avoid the seasonal bug until the last minute. Sometime on Christmas Eve day, they make the big announcement. “Ah, honey? I’ll be gone for a while. I, ah, have a few things to pick up at the store.”

Nothing could be more predictable. We women know that they’ll be back before the game starts – in thirty minutes. Mmm hmm…Walgreen’s or CVS is their destination. If they time it right, they can be back in their recliner just in time for kick off, mission accomplished. Nothing says, “Gee, honey, I just didn’t care enough to put any thought into this,” more than a gift so obviously from the nearest drug store, home of the top ten worst gifts a man can give his woman.

So, men, pay attention. Here is the list of gifts your wife or girlfriend does not want.

1. The universal remote.
2. A plastic cell phone holder that hangs in the car air vent.
3. Gift box of knock-off fragrances.
4. Weight loss cookbook.
5. Boxed coffee gift set.
6. Workout video.
7. Back massager (unless his name is Sven).
8. Popcorn tin.
9. Cheap chocolates in a red box with a stupid bow.
10. Ten pairs of earrings on a card.

Gee, guys, you may just have to pencil in some time this year to hit the mall. If, that is, you can remember how to get there.
