Worst Christmas gifts

Talk about looking a gift horse in the mouth (or is that reindeer?)!

Any gift we get should be appreciated…but we all get some “not-so-great” ones every Christmas!

What are the worst?

According to a new survey in  SWNS Digital they are:

  • Ugly clothing
  • Toiletry kits
  • Bath salts or a bottle of bubble bath
  • Socks
  • T-shirts with funny, clever, or inspirational sayings on them
  • A movie you’ve already seen
  • Candles
  • A handkerchief
  • A scarf
  • Soap on a rope

Bad gifts are most likely to come from our in-laws followed by our co-workers.

Our significant other gives the best ones, followed by our kids…and clothing you LIKE is one of the best gifts we get.

Beauty, of course, is in the eye…
