21 Really Bad Gift Ideas

I don't know your loved ones, so I can't tell you what to get them for the holidays. One person may rave about a new set of knitting needles, while I'd just wonder why you got me a pair of sharp chopsticks. I'm not going to tell you what is the perfect gift for your special someone, because I'll likely be wrong.

But I will tell you some gifts that you might want to avoid this holiday season if you want to keep relationships healthy.
