Unwrap These Cringey Christmas Gifts That Made People Go “Really?!”

Note to self (and you!): Never gift your wife household gadgets or cleaning stuff - unless she straight-up asked for it. Nobody wants a mop wrapped up in holiday cheer.

Imagine asking for a camera and ending up with a giant jar of socks wrapped in a towel. Yup, one year's rice cooker disappointment followed by a sock-filled slap in the face. Lesson? Sometimes family doesn’t get it.

Nothing says "I get you'' like a bike for someone 8 months pregnant with a cracked tailbone. Plus, gifting cinnamon-scented peanut treats to someone allergic... oops! Guess that’s why they’re divorced now.

A 12-year-old picks out books with a gift card only to find out it’s got 12 cents left. Talk about a Christmas buzzkill. The dad’s face says it all - and aww, at least they got a do-over for the birthday.

5 weeks after having a baby? Gift your wife hot pink lingerie in front of the whole family. Yeah, that’s one way to land in the “ex” club.

Here’s one: gifting a sewing basket to someone who doesn’t sew, with the expectation of mending your clothes. Spoiler alert: Divorce followed. The sewing basket met a fiery end - bye, Felicia!

An aunt thought coal in a stocking was the height of Christmas humor. It wasn’t. Cue the epic kid sob fest and a mom’s serious side-eye.

Ever gotten a gift that’s been loved a bit too much? Like a foot massager covered in, um, used skin flakes? Secret Santa, you win the ‘nope’ award.

“You look tense, here’s a back massager!” Say what? Thanks, Mom-in-law... that’s one Christmas story that never gets old.

Asked for Pokémon, got a Bible-themed Game Boy game. Seven-year-old heartbreak summarized in one cruel twist of fate. Schoolyard flex? Nope, just a big fat nope.
