Holiday Don't Gift This

[Ron]

Can't find that gift for your special someone? Running out of time? Last minute decisions driving you nuts?
 
Here is a humorous "Don't Gift This List"
 
Feel free to 'List' your own favorite gifts not to give this holiday season.
 
Don't forget to report those spectacular 'Fail' gifts, "Oh no, you shouldn't have!", that you did get later. We know that you will want to show your appreciation.       I know I will.

[CassieQ]

I don't know.  I think I could rock that ostrich pillow.  

[rustle]

smh

 

that is all

[Fishwings]

I spat out my tea all over my keyboard when I saw the ostrich pillow

 

IS THAT REAL LOL. 

 

And dude the underwater speakers are SO COOL, I wanted to get a pair.

 

 

On another note, for the love of God, please don't get anyone (unless it's like your grandma or something):

 

1) Candles

 

2) Soap

 

It's so hard to pretend to get excited about candles and soap anymore.

 

John: "Merry Christmas best friend, I have a present for you!"

Joe: "Oh my... you got me... Soap! Oh this is wonderful, can't get enough soap!"

John: "yeah this is a limited edition soap, it's autographed by Michael Phelps so when you wash yourself with it you can breathe underwater when you take a bath."

Joe: "Does it also give me flying powers if I jump off a building?"

I hope the spitting was figurative.

I think the worst gift was the phone sweater. It doesn't even qualify as kitsch.

O_O the ostrich pillow looks more like a mutant mantis...it eats your head!!!

[joann414]

I'd rock the crackling fire sweater just to annoy people  

[W_L]

I want the creepy Robot,

[Sasha Distan]

no aftershave-y/smelly stuff. i think between me and hubby we have enough to last us three whole lifetimes

[Thorn Wilde]

I kind of like the ostrich pillow. I could use one of those, I think... I don't care so much about looking like an idiot.

 

My brothers' mum sometimes gives really crappy presents. This year, the bag from her contains a really huge flat one, and I hope to God it contains either lots of chocolate or a jigsaw puzzle and not something silly and pointless that we'll have nowhere to put.

[Sasha Distan]

if it's a jigsaw, we can help!

[Kitt]

I thought the water speakers were sort of interesting. Someone gets drunk at a party and you could occupy them for hours while you hide their keys/car.

[Slytherin]

I love the Ostrich Pillow

[Ron]

The ostrich pillow seems to be strangely, oddly attractive to people for some reason. I don't get it. 

[Slytherin]

I want to give it to my sisters husband for Christmas - he will never speak to me again    

[mickey1952]

I'd maybe give my brother the glove phone. Anything that would make him look even more idiotic might be a fun gift. (I know, 'tis the season, but we haven't liked each other or spoken in years, so...)

I think the rudest gift that anyone has given me was a worn shirt with threadbare spots that smelled of detergent. I mean he was my secret santa at the office. And he kept on pointing out the fact that it was Burberry. I seriously don't care. It smelled like cheap detergent that he rushed to take off his drier and have it wrapped in time for the secret santa outing.

 

Oh, I forgot to mention, he was our senior V.P for International Relations, to which by common knowledge, was that he was earning a lot, is single, and collects yachts as a hobby. And yet he couldn't give a fck as to what to give that Christmas for the secret santa event. I would have been VERY happy even if I got a $5 Starbucks coupon, or a cheap-ass bloody keychain since I love collecting keychains.

 

The shirt is now happily a dust rug that's sitting on top of my shelf. At least I found some good use for it. ;-)
