Can you think of examples of awful Christmas gifts?

For me these are awful gifts:

- Lottery tickets. If the recipient doesn't win, the ticket is worthless. If he strikes it big, you'll shoot yourself.

- Gift cards - perfectly good cash gets "crippled". It can be only used in one business and besides they find out how much you spent on them. Gift cards are not original either.

- The car with the big bow on it. Comes with 60 months of car payments.

    -Lottery tickets don't seem to be particularly a 'gift' per-se. Extra like a fun stocking stuffer. Get the inexpensive ones that price $1-$2 or so. No longer so unhealthy in case you do not lose because you'll produce other things to your stocking to use or have. Like silly socks,lotion,candy and so forth. -reward playing cards. Many now come in 'visa card' versions and can be used in any store. However i do not like to make use of these by and large for loved ones and close friends. Too impersonal. Any present may also be see as awful if it's useless to the character it used to be purchased for. Simply depends fairly. Like a tire repair package for any individual who does not possess or use the automobile they have,as an alternative takes the bus or rides their bike. Or earrings for a girl who doesn't have pierced ears and many others. *The steeply-priced auto with monthly repayments is beautiful dangerous though. I would not need that! Lol
