Top Ten WORST Christmas Gifts - #8

Christmas is coming...and the goose is getting fat.  The goose isn't the only one.  It's been estimated that the average person gains between five and ten pounds over the holidays from stuffing their face with all those goodies.  Whether it's from simply too many tasty treats or eating on the run while shopping, make sure you watch not only what you stick in your mouth, but in your shopping cart as well.  You have tons of people to buy for and a limited amount of time and money.  There may be a month now until Christmas, but those days slip away fast and it will be here before you know it.

Pay attention to what you're paying for because it may not be worth it in the long run, especially if it turns out to be a gift that's not wanted.  It may be the thought that counts, but were you really thinking when you picked out what you thought would be just right?  Know the person you're buying for; their tastes and dislikes.  If you haven't got a clue; ask someone else who knows them better than you do.  It could save for some embarrassing moments...or hurt feelings.  Some people are picky about what they want and your selection may very well have not been on their list.  What were you thinking...or were you not thinking at all?

Today, I'm taking a look at what the absolute worst gifts to give at Christmas are...or anytime, for that fact.  Make your list...and check it twice...these presents are terrible to give and to receive; even less nice.  We began at the bottom of the list, and take note, there are many, many things that are just as bad to give...like a pink hair curling iron for a guy.

#8 - A years supply of Nutrisystems diet food - You know a guy wouldn't mind this, but he won't follow directions.  He'll eat as much as he can whenever he can shovel it down.  Those carefully measured portions won't mean a thing...and he'll even eat it if it tastes like cardboard with ketchup.  This might be a typical gift for a gal, but she's not going to appreciate it at all.  Sure, she won't have to shop for food or cook it when she gets it home, but she won't feel any relief from the stockpile you've just presented her with.  To her, it will be like sitting down at the table to pig on pizza and wings and having the telephone ring with Jenny Craig on the other end letting her know her dinner is now being served...from a little, microwave safe plate.Where's the meat?  Just lift up that cracker and you'll find your chicken nugget under there.  What's with all this rice?  You know there are children starving who would love to have that for supper.  Alright, well then, send them mine.  Right back we go to the 'You think I'm fat' fight and you're done for.  There's no way to win now...especially if you combine this gift with a one month gym membership.  She's about to put the 'die' into diet...and you're the one who's going.You'd better pack your bags and hope you enjoy your holidays spent at the homeless shelter.  In case you get hungry, open your suitcase.  It's packed with these meals while the little lady dines on that steak she was going to make for you to eat.  No one years supply of Nutrisystems diet food!
