really bad xmas gifts...
I don't know if this thread has already been done, but here is a fun article.
Common gifts you should never give anyone, ever, but especially around the holidays on Shine
I personally disagree with the gym membership. I LOVE the gym and I would love not to have to pay for it. I love just about any and all exercise equipment, and I would not take it as an insult to receive it.
I really agree with the 'theme' gift thing. So sick of all the crappy doctor stuff I get.
I think they left out body lotions, etc. Lame and impersonal.
My fave gift would be a book you love or a donation to charity in my name. |

I heard on the radio today that men should not give a woman a vacuum cleaner for Christmas. Big no, no.  |

What if it's a dual bag vacuum cleaner?

I can't believe they actually have to be told that.  Although, I might be forgiving if it were a Dyson Ball vacuum. 
I'll add something to that list. A bed pillow.  I speak from the receiving end of experience here.  |

They left out Chia Pets. And who remembers the Pet Rock? Imagine someone made money off of that.

I gave my wife two pillows for her birthday and she tells me every night how happy she is to have them and what a thoughtful gift it was. Far moe appreciated than the vacuum.
I will add that a dozen cans of Easy off is a bad choice. Toilet brushes are out. Things that she has to plant, or clean or do other work to make them live or function are generally bad choices. |

The Easy-off, is that what made the pillows look so good? |
