Worst Gifts:
Diet cookbook - Nobody wants to be subtly told they need to lose weight.
Half eaten box of chocolates - Just shows your gift was totally forgotten about and lacks effort.
Relationship/Advice books - Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus -
Candy bra / edible underwear - Is simply tacky and nobody benefits from these items.
"Diamond ring" Keychain in a box - Gives so many wrong signals. You want to show you're committed but lack the final touch.
Random food gifts - Unless it's a luxurious hamper, there is no need to give ready meals.
Holiday themed hand towels - They can only be used certain times of the year and are therefore, pointless.
Gift Voucher for a wax - Would you like to be told that you need a little hair removal treatment?
Socks - Seems to be everyone's last minute gift but we can all buy our own when necessary.
Bathroom Scales - Household appliances, especially bathroom scales are never really a thoughtful gift.
