Giving Chapstick as a Gift Funny Saying

10 Not-So-Great Christmas Gifts

Thanksgiving is over and Christmas is upon us! The month of December has arrived and we welcome all the holiday magic that accompanies the happiest time of the year. There are many reasons why the holiday season is so much fun and magical. Time spent with family and friends is at the top of the list, but let's not forget about all the great food! All the pies, cookies, candies, and other sweets that give our dentists' job security. I think we can all agree that one of the best parts of the Holiday is getting to give all of your favorite people a gift. It truly is better to give than to receive.

Speaking of gifts, there are some gifts that seem to never go out of style. Although these gifts are practical, they lack the "surprise" element that all recipients of gifts are looking for. Without further ado, here is the list of the 10 Not-So-Great Christmas Gifts!

10. Six Pack of Socks

Coming in 10th place is the classic 6-pack pair-o-socks. At some point we have all encountered the infamous 6-pack pair-o-socks on Christmas morning. I mean, people wear socks almost everyday so it makes sense that getting people socks would be sensible… and you're right. It's a very practical gift and I'm not saying it's a bad gift… but is it worth being a Christmas gift? Probably not.

9. Chapstick

In 9th place we have chapstick! "It's cold as heck outside so keep your lips from cracking with this unscented stick of chapstick that you'll likely misplace before you even get out the door!" Seriously though, it's almost impossible to use an entire stick of chapstick before losing it. Chapstick is an acceptable stocking stuffer and that is the only place it should be allowed. If you individually wrap chapstick as a gift to give to someone, you might need to take a step back and re-evaluate your life choices.

8. Ugly Beanie

In 8th place is that ugly random sports team beanie with the fuzzy ball on top. Nothing says "I got you this gift because I didn't know what else to get you" like a sports team ugly beanie. Yeah. Maybe don't get the beanie as a gift this year.

7. Travel Size Chess Set

In 7th place is a Travel Size Chess Set. Chess is a great game. No one is arguing that. However, getting someone a travel size chess set so they can plan in the car on the way to family vacation isn't likely. You might receive a positive reaction seeing someone open this gift, but I can assure you that they are faking the excitement.

6. Pocket Knife

Coming in at #6 is the classic gas station pocket knife. We get it. You were running late and stopped at a gas station to pick up some last minute gifts for the nieces and nephews and there they are. The perfect gift! Pocket Knives with authentic gas station artwork etched into the plastic handle. I know it seems like a good idea at the moment but that gas station pocket knife probably is the furthest thing from being worthy as a Christmas gift. Next!

5. PPE (Personal Protective Equipment)

In 5th place is PPE. Masks, gloves, and hand-sanitizers. Again, this is one of those gifts where you think it's a great idea because of how practical it is. But that's the problem. It is way too practical and there is no holiday spirit in opening up a 50 pack of disposable masks. You're better than that and the people you are giving gifts to deserve better than that.

4. Electronics (Without Batteries)

In 4th place is any and all electronics when the batteries aren't included. Giving someone a brand new remote control car without batteries is sick. It would be like buying someone a car but not giving them the keys. Do the person you're getting the electronics for a favor and include the batteries needed to power up their gift.

3. Graphic Tee

Coming in at #3 is the graphic tee. You were out and about at the local Walmart and saw a shirt the perfect shirt for your cousin that watched Game of Thrones like 99% of the population. The shirt say "I Drink and I Know Things". Wow. Hats off for the clever gift that your cousin will never wear. All joking aside, graphic t-shirts can sometimes be a good idea but are overall too risky. Stay away from graphic tees as Christmas gifts.

2. Christmas Card

Coming in 2nd place is the classic empty card with nothing but a signature squiggle on the bottom. Unless you are professing your love to someone via Christmas Card or snail mailing an obligatory Card to distant relatives, this is not acceptable. There is no reason to hand an empty Christmas Card with nothing but your signature to anyone as a gift. Instead, just do no gift at all. Seriously.

1. Coffee Mugs

Coming in 1st place for the Not-So-Great Christmas Gift List is the all powerful coffee mug. This one is likely to upset some people, and that's okay. Here is the reasoning for coffee mugs not being a great Christmas Gift. Everyone already has enough coffee mugs. They don't need that cute Grinch face mug that you saw at Hobby Lobby. People only have a finite amount of cabinet space for mugs. So say no to the coffee mug gift this year. Thank you in advance!
