We have always been told that it is always better to give than to receive, but some gifts are better when they aren't given at all. Here are a few examples of gifts that you should never, ever give... ever.

  • Exercise equipment, sure we have that one friend who is really into fitness, but giving exercise equipment has strong implications that no one wants to admit to.
  • Pets, while a wonderful addition to any family, isn't it better to pick out that new family member together?
  • Items of "romance", it's safe to say that if you can't open the gift in front of your grandmother then you shouldn't give the gift.
  • Cologne or perfume, unless you know specifically what scent this person wears, don't buy them cologne or perfume.
  • Socks/underpants, because that's what your parents give you when you're seven.

The last thing you want to do on Christmas is to embarrass yourself or the receiver of your presents. Be thoughtful, be kind, and be giving! Happy holidays!
