Buying the perfect gift is often a lot easier said than done, but buying a truly terrible, uniquely horrible gift is, in many ways, harder. Most folks can still make use of almost anything or, at the very least, sell what they don’t like. But getting someone an item that is actually insulting in its own special way takes talent.

My great aunt gifted me old lady shirts from thrift shops on sizes L and XL. Had me try them on after I told her I was a size Medium. Told me I look bigger than that and was surprised when the shirts she gave me did not fit.

My ex’s wealthy grandma regifted me an old lady moo moo nightgown that had a collar and cows on it. Everyone else got gift cards to restaurants or stores. There was also slippers she had already worn that had foot crust in them. Yes, foot crust.

My aunt very proudly gave me “something so meaningful, handmade and thoughtful” from a mission trip to a country in South America ? Maybe central? I don’t remember. But I was maybe 12 at the time and the gift was quite literally a domino on a string. To this day my mom and I joke about it. I’m 31 now
