The worst gifts ever
At this point I would hope that all of the shopping has been done for Christmas and you are feeling pretty good about your gift-giving choices. However confident you might be, I suggest taking a look at the following gifts just to make sure that nothing even remotely similar turned up on your list this year. Seriously, these gifts are so horrible that it has the power to bring down holidays, friendships and relationships. Even a box full of coal would be an upgrade.
Common sense dictates that you should never give someone a gift that could be misinterpreted as a hint that they might need to lose a little weight. This includes gym club memberships, exercise equipment and, most importantly, scales where pounds are represented by farm animals. Seriously, I don't think I could stress that last example enough. $41.38 -

Handerpants
Don't be surprised when you are written out of someone's will after showing up for Christmas bearing a pair of tighty whitey underwear that is worn on the hands. Plus, much like your actual underwear, these have holes in them — so they aren't even going to be very warm. I'm more of a boxer guy anyway — but it's really hard to use your hands in the cold with boxing gloves on. $11.95 -

Having a bobblehead custom made using a friend or family member's likeness isn't necessarily a terrible gift (especially if the person in question is kind of conceited), but go ahead and scan to the far right of this product image. Yeah, who wouldn't want a bobblehead of themselves on the toilet? Your mother would love it! $99 -

Razor blade soap
Soaps, lotions and oils are old standby gifts during the holidays, but this soap helps you clean those hard to reach areas … like the ones underneath your skin. Yes indeed, that's a real razor blade in there — and the glycerin in the soap will oxidize the metal over time. So how about a simultaneous shower and a shave with a rusty metal blade? Let's just hope that it comes with a tetanus-fresh scent. $6.95 -

And now, the worst gift of them all — probably the worst gift of all time. It's Nothing — packaged nothing to be more precise. A bubble filled with air. The person that gives this gift isn't even trying to disguise their intentions. I mean, even getting coal is getting something. I could burn it for heat. But nothing … you can't do anything with nothing. And since it comes in one of those dreaded blister packs, you actually have to work hard to get at your nothing. Someone paid $9 to give you nothing. It's holiday cruelty of the highest caliber. $9 -
