Sure, there are bad gifts that are funny. But there are also a breed of gifts that leave us scratching our heads, wondering, "Why in the hell did they create this crap?" Here's a tip: Stay away from these items this holiday season, unless you want to be sleeping on the couch until Valentine's Day.
Check out the rest of our Holiday Party!
Personalized Coffee Mug (gifts.com)
A picture of the dog whose crap you both clean up does not make for an enjoyable a cup o' joe in the morning. This gift is so lacking in creativity, he/she may fear it'll carry over to the bedroom.
Instead, buy it for:: The co-worker you got stuck being Secret Santa for.
"My Therapy" Journal (uncommongoods.com)
Why not give a Xanax prescription? Unless you're dating a 15-year-old they'll perceive you as blank as the pages of the gift itself.
Instead, buy it for: The teetering-on-dementia grandparent who you can trick into leaving you everything in it.
Big Red Cyber Jelly Dong Sex Toy (bettersex.com)
Like giving your boss the latest Sharper Image item, it's something that can totally render you obsolete. What are you thinking?
Instead, buy it for: The senior who towel-snapped you constantly freshman year, with a note encouraging him or her to come out.
Bed, Bath and Beyond Gift Certificate
Even if it's her favorite store, you're basically saying you're willing to put more effort into moving your bowels in the morning than coming up with a present for them.
Instead, buy it for: That friend with B.O.
Cartoon Character Ties (tiewarehouse.com)
Nothing says nerd more than a Homer Simpson tie, and nothing says "I think you're a nerd" more than buying one for someone.
Instead, buy it for: Your brother. Who's a nerd.
