Terrible Christmas present ideas.

Every year my cousin and I try to buy each other the worst Christmas presents we can think of. It all started about 15 years ago with a calendar - her majesty's prisons of Great Britain.

Since then there have been many others:
Nicholas cage cushion
Pat butcher wall clock
A vomit scented candle
A giant wearable pugs head
A membership to a dogging club (fake!) to welcome his new wife to the family
Reindeer threesome hat
Eagle/wolf underwear
Etc

Anyway I need inspiration this year! We all have kids now so I'm trying to stay on the clean side of things, but anything weird or wonderful you could recommend?!

Grinas much as I love this idea, no way am I spending £68 + £15 postage on a candle! I don't care whose bag is smells like!

A really tacky bedazzled Live Laugh Love sign or something similar

Snowisfallinghere · 29/10/2021 15:21

Oh, a box of Covid tests or masks. That's the worst gift I can think of.

Lynx Africa giftset, I can't think of a worse present Grin

B & Q orange plastic bucket. They are massive and cost the princely sum of £1. You could fill it with something... concrete, perhaps?

An ironing board cover.

Some sort of hideous Santa garden gnome - Asda are usually good for this sort of thing.

Nidan2Sandan · 29/10/2021 15:26

Socks with trumps face on?

wtfisthatspiderdoing · 29/10/2021 15:28

Eyelashes for car headlights.

A cheap toilet brush.

A potato.

Champagne glasses with "Bride" & "Groom" etched on them.

Personalised mug, t-shirt etc with literally any name that is not theirs. Easy to find in charity shops

mogtheexcellent · 29/10/2021 15:31

there are cheaper alternatives to the vag candle on etsy.

How about some coal (as in no presents for you this year)? there was some edible coal mentioned on the xmas bargains threads.

We once bought our BIL a balaclava with a picture of my husbands face on it.
That was pretty awful.

I think it was from I want one of those . Com but not 100% sure
