The Worst Christmas Gifts In The World Ever
Come October or November, magazines are already printing lists of this year's hot christmas gifts. Twelve months later, of course, no-one can really recall what last year's hot gifts were and the cycle starts all over again.
Everyone and I mean everyone, always remembers the very worst christmas presents they ever received. You can try to suppress these memories, but unfortunately, it never seems to work.
For a bit of fun, I did a quick survey of some of my friends to determine what are the 5 most awful Christmas presents of all time. And here, in all their dreadfulness, they are:
1) Socks. I've no idea what possesses normally sane, rational people to buy socks at Christmas. But they do. If you are one of these people, think for a moment. Everyone has socks. They don't need more. Get something else.
2) Secondhand Clothes. To be honest, I couldn't care less that it's vintage Givenchy. It's not new. So that means it's either something you don't really want or something you got cheap at Oxfam. Either way, I don't want it.
3) Household Cleaning Products. If you are a man, particularly one that has only recently started living with his partner, do not buy your other half a vacuum cleaner or a washing machine. Or anything even remotely related to work. Otherwise, you will soon find yourself alone, right.
4) 12 Month Gym Membership. What does getting someone membership of a gym say to them. That's right. It says they're fat and need to lose weight. Is that the message you want to be giving a loved one this Christmas. No? Then don't get them membership to a gym.
5) Mascara and Makeup. This is another mistake made by men. It's seemed so simple in the shop, didn't it. Just buy her some mascara, a bit of eyeliner and a lipstick. But it all went wrong. Wrong shade, wrong brand; right shade, wrong brand; right brand, wrong shade. No matter how hard men try, they always mess up buying makeup. Don't let it happen to you.
One step further than even these terrible gift ideas, I was surprised to find out that one of my - vegetarian - friends was given a cook book entitled '50 Ways To Cook Chicken'. Better than that, another friend was given facial hair lightening creme and finally, a male friend was given nose hair trimmers.
So, this year, when you finally get your gifts, don't be disappointed that you didn't get exactly what you wanted; be thankful that you didn't get anything listed in this article.
