Spread some holiday cheer by giving ridiculous gifts this Christmas! Forget the cashmere slippers, the fancy watch with multiple electronic features and the Iphone. Give a box of Hickory Farms Smoked Meat to a vegetarian. Give a dancing stuffed bear to a 25-year old hipster. Give a new toilet seat to your buddy with IBS. Or maybe give a potato masher or a mesh cube to wash hats in to a domestic goddess (Hat Tip: Makeupalley gals). Not all of the gifts need to be clever, but they do need to be really, really bad.
One Christmas, my dad gave me a lamp from Dollar General. He was really proud at how much money he saved. He's pretty much the worst gift giver ever. He once sent my baby brother a package containing flashlights and beef jerky for his birthday. There is something annoying and yet humorous at receiving a totally thoughtless gift.
My favorite "worst gift ever" this holiday season? A $40 bottle of water called Bling H20. It's expensive AND totally unnecessary. A win-win situation for all.

A lamp from Dollar General? That's so horrible! Did he tell you where it was from or leave a price tag on it or something?
I've gotten a recipe book for breads and baked goods but I am allergic to gluten. That was pretty thoughtless! It still made me laugh when you said that thing about giving a meat basket to a vegetarian!
