Worst Christmas Presents Ever Posted Online
When looking for a Christmas present for a close friend or family member, it can be difficult to avoid making mistakes that result in the purchase of an inappropriate present or an item that the recipient will never make use of. Being on the receiving end of a terrible gift is even more frustrating than being on the giving end. We have compiled a list of the worst Christmas gifts that people have received from others who have decided to share with the world just how terrible the gift they received was. Although some of them are humorous, others are just plain strange, and as a result, we can’t help but wonder what the giver of these Christmas presents was thinking when they purchased them.
Not That Kind Of Beets
On Christmas day, if it were us who received this practical joke gift, we’re not entirely certain how things would play out for us. This child’s request for Beats headphones for Christmas was made in good faith. Dad was pretty sure he was smarter than everyone else and had a better idea. Instead, he decided to make his child his own exclusive version of “Beets.” Sigh… The jokes that fathers tell. We can only hope that this hilarious gag gift was followed by a real one.
Didn’t Do Him Any Good
As this next post will show, items related to personal hygiene and toiletry do not make suitable presents. The gift recipient’s girlfriend’s family gave them a personalized toothbrush for the holidays. Even though it was completely understandable for them to feel self-conscious about their dental problems, the gift only served to embarrass them.
Didn’t Do Him Any Good
If anyone is trying to decide what to get someone for a present, it is best not to get them any personal hygiene products unless it is something particularly thoughtful, such as a nice perfume that you are certain the recipient will enjoy, or something that they have specifically requested.
The Favorite Grandkid
Nobody ever admits that they have a favorite child, not even parents or grandparents or anyone else in the family for that matter. However, this is something that can frequently be seen in the gifts that they give, such as in this post about a child receiving a toy for a cat for Christmas while her sibling received cards from her favorite series.
The Favorite Grandkid
It can be rather challenging to choose that perfect gift, but it’s pretty grim when all you can think of is a cat toy. A gift card or cash would have gone down much better than this worst gift ever.
Pair Of Socks
When Grandma sewed her grandson a set of homemade socks to keep his feet warm, we have no doubt that she did so with the highest of good intentions. Unfortunately for him, not only does Grandma not have the best eyesight, but the lengths of the socks are also not the same.
Pair Of Socks
Even though it is an incredibly sad gift, a pair of socks that do not match is not necessarily the worst of all the Christmas presents that a person could end up receiving.
Grandma Has Dementia
We are able to overlook this Grandma’s rather peculiar gift of a hospital gown and a feminine hygiene product because she was trying to help. People who are afflicted with dementia are frequently so disconnected from the real world that not even the most obvious things can make sense to them.
Grandma Has Dementia
Thankfully, her granddaughter is very understanding, and despite this, she most likely valued the gift she received from her grandmother. Nevertheless, it is probably for the best if grandma just sticks to giving money instead of other things.
New Bow
People frequently brag about their significant others buying them brand-new cars for Christmas in the form of posts on social media platforms. On Christmas Day, however, this particular wife was surprised by her husband with an unusual gift in the form of a new bow that was attached to the car that she already owned.
New Bow
We certainly hope that this was not the only gift she received on that particular day. If that doesn’t happen, you can count on the fact that your husband will spend the foreseeable future dozing off on the couch.
A Gift From The Sib
It’s common practice for siblings to prank each other by giving each other terrible presents. You have to give them credit for all of the hard work and careful planning that went into this one because it was so well thought out. It would appear, however, that this young lady is used to her brother’s practical jokes and most likely laughed heartily at her “gift.”
A Gift From The Sib
Even though the Christmas present might not be what she anticipated, she has to give credit to her brother for his crafty prank.
Finding The Truth
We look forward to Christmas every year because it’s a time when friends and family can get together, share gifts, and have a good time. However, now is not the time for parents to disclose to their children that they were adopted when they were younger.
Finding The Truth
This poor child had to find out one of the most painful ways possible that he was adopted when his parents had given him this book with a rather peculiar title.
It’s Me
This guy came up with the brilliant idea of giving his girlfriend a gift that consisted of him wrapping himself in wrapping paper. Even though we think this is a really sweet gesture, we really hope she also received another present.
It’s Me
Sometimes the thought that goes into a gift is more important than the actual gift itself, and this is probably something that his girlfriend needed to remind herself of as well.
Buying A Gift For A Sibling
It’s not the worst thing in the world if someone gives you underwear for Christmas. The only time this is a problem is when your grandmother gives you a voucher for lingerie. In particular, the one that she requested your brother to purchase on her behalf.
Buying A Gift For Sibling
We have no idea what our dear old grandmother was thinking when she came up with this gift idea, but it has to be one of the worst we have ever heard of. The poor brother will most likely carry the scars for the rest of his life.
Meme Lover
Oh no, the pranks haven’t stopped! On Christmas morning, this individual does not appear to be overly enamored with the gift that he received from his brother. Even though we should applaud his brother for taking the time to print and frame the pictures, it would have been more productive for him to come up with a present in the time that he had available.
Meme Lover
But if they’re not going to do that on purpose for Christmas, what else do brothers have to offer? We have to give him credit for his creativity because even though this one is terrible, it is still quite inventive.
Unwrapping The Gift
No matter your age, there’s nothing quite like the thrill of opening presents on Christmas morning. On the other hand, if your brother pulls a prank on you by making you unwrap a series of empty boxes, only for the final one to reveal that the present you were expecting to find under the tree was actually on the dining table, this can be a rather tedious activity.
Unwrapping The Gift
This one ought to have been good for a hearty belly laugh, that could have ensured that no resentment would be admitted to having when they finally got their actual gift when it was finally delivered.
Not A GYNE
The recipient of this hilarious present from a relative living in another country can only be made to laugh by those who see it. As the poster was working toward their goal of becoming a physician, their step-grandmother gave them a t-shirt with a medical motif as a gift.
Not A GYNE
She was left feeling rather embarrassed when they attempted to explain what was written on the shirt to her because she was unable to comprehend exactly what was written on it. It’s the thought that counts and gifts like this one help us remember that.
Be Careful What You Wish For
Imagine making a joke to your Grandma by stating that you would like one hundred gifts from the dollar store. Since Granny took the request quite literally and gave her grandson exactly what he wanted for Christmas, the young man probably spent hours unwrapping all of the 100 presents he received.
Be Careful What You Wish For
We are at a loss for words other than “Thank you, Granny!” so we will just leave it at that. When older people surprise you by accepting a challenge, don’t you just love it when they do that?!
All The Year Gift
What could possibly be more delightful than opening a calendar on Christmas morning? When this young lady opened her present, she discovered that her calendar contained goofy photographs of her brother, which she would have to stare at for the next year. She did not think this was a very nice idea, and she did not thank the giver.
All The Year Gift
We really hope that she can find the humor in it and that she’ll end up using it. This present required a lot of time and effort, and when you really think about it, it’s kind of adorable.
Ocean Pacific Clothes
Because of the high cost of clothing, particularly high-quality clothing from well-known brands, many families choose to give clothing items as gifts during the holiday season. However, according to this poster, homemade clothing was a thing, and whenever a well-known brand was out of their price range, their grandmother would make them her own version of the expensive brand that looked nothing like the original.
Ocean Pacific Clothes
Even though this might be the worst Christmas gift ever given, we hope that the recipient at least appreciated the love and time that went into making the item. It can be difficult to fit in with your peers.
Literally Apple Watch
Is your significant other a big fan of electronic devices? The “apple watch” that this brilliant wife purchased for her tech-savvy husband for the holiday season was the most thoughtful and cost-effective present he could have received.
Literally Apple Watch
Even though it wasn’t the watch he wanted, he couldn’t be too upset about it because it was such a stunning piece. In addition to that, we will provide him with a complimentary nutritious snack.
A Hint
Because of the high cost of living, many young adults continue to reside with their parents even after they have graduated from college. On Christmas morning, this person, who was 24 years old at the time, was given the greatest surprise of their life by their parents in the form of a suitcase set.
A Hint
Thank you very much for the blatantly obvious clue, Mom and Dad! This is undeniably a present that conveys the message loud and clear that they ought to probably start looking for different living arrangements as soon as possible.
Cheese Lover
It’s entirely feasible that this isn’t the absolute worst gift someone could give for Christmas, but it certainly qualifies as one of the strangers presents someone could get. What could possibly have prompted this girl’s aunt to give her sister a bag of shredded cheese as a Christmas present? We have no idea.
Cheese Lover
Could it be that she was aware that her niece enjoyed cheese? It’s also possible that she was simply at a loss for additional gift ideas. Cheese is adaptable, so let’s keep our fingers crossed that the young lady found some use for the unusual present she was given.
Model
When Lloyd tried on pajamas that were intended for his children, he sacrificed himself for the greater good. We can only hope that they will never find out that their father wore their pink pajamas because they may keep them tucked away in the darkest part of their closets for the rest of their lives.
Model
Even though this is not the worst gift ever, the thought of your dad having to wear it might make it seem that way. We have no choice but to salute him for the audacity and sass he displayed by donning those pajamas. Good going!
Expired Lotion
This girl’s aunt deserves a shout-out for giving her the worst possible gift when she gave her a bottle of lotion that had expired for the holiday. When you don’t know what to get someone for a gift and don’t want to buy them something old, the worst thing you can do is buy them something old.
Expired Lotion
Or, even worse, give them something from the storage closet in your bathroom. In this particular scenario, a card with $5 already loaded onto it would have been more useful than this bottle of lotion that is 12 years old. You should be embarrassed, Aunty!
Secret Santa Revealed
A tradition known as “Secret Santa” is carried out in the workplace by many businesses every year around the holiday season. When this guy gave his coworker a photo of himself posing provocatively on a beach blanket, he went a little too far in his attempt to win her over.
Secret Santa Revealed
He bought the least expensive frame he could find and thought it was a great gift, completely ignoring the $20 limit that had been placed on the present. Without a doubt, this one should go straight into the garbage can.
Playing A Game
Why bother wrapping a gift in the traditional manner when you can make the recipient work for their presents instead? Another one for the list of hilarious practical jokes: one brother wrapped this brilliant present for the other.
Playing A Game
We have no choice but to admit that the gift is wonderful and may very well be worth the trouble that the unfortunate individual had to go to in order to obtain it. On the other hand, the holiday season is not the time to be slaving away in the office.
18 Pairs Of Socks
What started out as the worst Christmas present ever given to this kid quickly turned into one of the best gifts he could have received. This poor young man had almost given up hope when his mother surprised him by revealing that his “gift” was actually a brand-new laptop computer, as he had been opening one pair of socks after another while his younger sibling was opening gifts of toys.
18 Pairs Of Socks
The expression “you have to get a few bad presents to truly appreciate the good ones” is applicable here; however, in the end, everything worked out for the best of this child.
For Practice
When this father gave his son a set of shake weights and demonstrated how they should be used in front of his son’s grandparents, there is no doubt that the father had the last laugh. Way to go, Dad. You have probably earned yourself the title of “Worst Dad of the Year,” and that’s before we even consider the fact that the gift is one of the worst items on our list.
For Practice
We can only hope that the poor kid will be able to put his gift to good use and become extremely ripped in time for the upcoming Christmas party, where he will undoubtedly be the one who gets the last laugh.
A Ken Doll
It is always a good idea to be specific about what you want for Christmas when you are making your list for loved ones to see. This is one way to avoid confusion, and it will also reduce the likelihood that you will receive a gift that you do not desire or that you have no use for. When her brother asked for a Kindle, this man’s sister couldn’t help but let out a hearty chuckle.
A Ken Doll
As a practical joke, she started by handing him the Ken doll. She then proceeded to hand him the actual gift, which was a Kindle, after they had a good laugh. That was a good one, sis!
Hate Snakes?
Moving on from one unwelcome present to another of the same kind. There are few things that are more disappointing than receiving a gift that is of no use, such as a music CD that is damaged and cannot be played. It is a very different experience to receive a gift associated with the same movie for two years in a row, especially when the recipient has no interest in watching the movie in question.
Hate Snakes?
Who, exactly, still gives out CDs and DVDs in this day and age anyway? And if you are going to do that, make sure that the copy of the soundtrack you are getting is not one that has been stolen and then cracked. Terrible present for Christmas!
Steve Buscemi Leggings
It is difficult to determine whether or not this woman is actually pleased with the Steve Buscemi leggings that she received for Christmas or whether or not she is just faking a smile in order to cover up her disappointment. It appears as though she may have been given these leggings as a practical joke, even though there are some people who would adore these leggings and wear them at every opportunity they get.
Steve Buscemi Leggings
Let’s keep our fingers crossed that she either falls in love with them or at the very least put them to use while she’s cleaning the house. We are left with no choice but to conclude that evenings spent out on the town are not the best time to wear them.
Got Mixed Up
At Christmastime, family traditions are wonderful to participate in, as they are sure to contribute to the formation of memories that will last a lifetime. When the girl’s aunt wrapped some of her dirty laundries in with the little girl’s present, unbeknownst to the aunt, the little girl received a little bit more than she had bargained for.
Got Mixed Up
Just picture yourself ripping open your present to find a pair of stale underwear tucked away in there somewhere. The only thing we can think to say is “Ew!” This present is without a doubt the absolute worst gift that has ever been given.
The Most Special Gift
Just picture yourself opening a present on Christmas morning that was given to you by your dearest friend, only to find a precious gem inside. If you look more closely, you will see that the gifter is, in fact, each and every person that is depicted in the photo. Classic!
The Most Special Gift
It is obvious that this one required some time, effort, and even some strange looks from complete strangers in order to put it together. It’s so creative that it deserves ten out of ten points!
Stop Drunk Driving
It is essential to watch over the drinking habits of the people you care about. On the other hand, it is quite another thing entirely to take advantage of the tragic death of your cousin so that you can send a message along with a rather subpar present.
Stop Drunk Driving
It’s true that the only thing this girl’s mother was trying to protect her from was the same fate as her cousin, but she could have skipped the part where she mentioned that the item was from the dead and still accomplished her goal. This present wins the award for being the most unusual as well as the most unsettling.
Got What’s Mine
Reviewing the presents that each partner has purchased for their offspring together is a practice that should be encouraged at all times. If this guy’s mother had simply queried her husband about whether or not he had purchased these games for their son, she might have been able to steer clear of this ridiculous circumstance entirely.
Got What’s Mine
There is a valuable lesson to be learned here, and it is this: do not strew your belongings about the place, kid; rather, store them in your room where they belong.
Be Specific
The majority of families exchange wishlists prior to holiday shopping to ensure that no one is given a gift that they do not want or require. The family in this post did the same thing, but unfortunately for one member of the family, their list was insufficiently detailed, and all they wrote down was the word “Amazon.”
Be Specific
Because of this, the meaning of the gift was left very up for grabs. Someone with creative gift-giving skills decided to give a member of their family this, um, creation. We suppose that you can’t hold it against them when they had very little to go on, or when they were unaware that you actually had an Amazon wishlist in progress.
Nice Box
This poor child was responsible for helping his mother carry this box both up and down the stairs. Unbeknownst to him, his Christmas present—which just so happens to be a brand new gaming console—was hiding inside of this old box all along.
Nice Box
Congratulations, Mom, on your ingenuity in coming up with a way to enlist the assistance of your son in moving the box. On Christmas morning, we both wished we could have been there to watch his reaction as he opened it.
Personalized Candle
Rachel is a gift-giving prodigy, but we have no idea what her mother or her siblings will think when they see her open this masterpiece on Christmas morning. For that matter, we don’t even know how they will react.
Personalized Candle
We can only hope that she will enjoy it and that her other siblings will be able to see the humor in the situation. If no one speaks during Christmas lunch, it’s going to be a tense and uncomfortable situation.
Strange Gifts
There is always one member of the family who is responsible for giving the most peculiar presents. Christmas came early for this guy thanks to the generosity of his uncle, who presented him with a chisel, a mini-chisel, and a cement block. Because the recipient of the gift had no idea what was contained within the block, he was forced to chip away at it in order to access the contents, which turned out to be a few coins and an arrowhead.
Strange Gifts
When the uncle decided to give this to his nephew, one can’t help but speculate about what might have been going through his mind. Perhaps he has a different idea of what constitutes fun… However, it was not his nephew’s. Or ours.
A Cozy Blanket
There are times when the most meaningful present you have ever obtained was given to you by your child in the form of a keepsake. On the other hand, a large blanket printed with a picture of the father’s son’s face might not have been the kind of sentimental present that the man was hoping to receive.
A Cozy Blanket
This son went to great lengths to ensure that his father would not forget who he was, even though a picture of him in a frame would have been the more appropriate choice. Thankfully, it appears as though he is overjoyed with his gift, and he will undoubtedly treasure it for the rest of his life.
No More Lonely Nights
This guy wanted to buy his girlfriend a blanket with photos of him on it so that she would have something to cuddle up with on those cold nights when he is away from home. He thought it would be a thoughtful gift. The shop messed up and gave him the wrong blanket, much to his disappointment. It wasn’t until the Christmas morning that his beloved opened it that he realized what it was.
No More Lonely Nights
Fortunately for him, it appears that she has found the humor in the situation. It would appear that she is going to keep this gift, despite the fact that the pictures are of an unknown person.
His Beard
Imagine opening a Christmas present on Christmas morning to find a Ziploc bag containing your uncle’s facial hair. This was the response that this guy got when he told his uncle that he wished he could grow a beard like his uncle did. images belong to an unknown third party.
His Beard
Because of this, there is a particular situation in which the adage “It’s the thought that counts” needs to be taken seriously because, in any other context, it is just plain creepy. In this predicament, what steps would you take? Or will you cower in fear and offer a grateful smile instead?
Weird But Okay
We recommend you ask a friend to explain it to you if you don’t know what this poster got. This grandmother should have considered that before presenting her granddaughter with a pair of bright red underwear that is obviously designed for men.
Weird But Okay
What the poor, sweet granny was thinking about is a mystery to us. However, we are willing to overlook the fact that she did not understand what she was purchasing at the time. Regardless, I’m laughing pretty hard at this.
Unmatched Wrapping Skills
Imagine getting up on Christmas morning, rushing to the tree with your family to open presents, and then being greeted by this scene when you arrive there. We have no way of knowing what Mom and Dad looked like when they saw this present under the tree, but we can only imagine how horrified they were.
Unmatched Wrapping Skills
Thankfully, it turned out to be nothing more than a prank played by one sibling on another, but even so, what exactly were they supposed to do with the gift that they received? This one is without a doubt deserving of its place on our list of the worst Christmas presents in history.
