While we proudly boast well over 25,000 items in-store, with 20,000 of these online, you’re sure to find the perfect gift for each and every giftee you’re shopping for.

We have, however, put together a list of items NOT to gift this year. Or to at least gift at your discretion.

Here are the WORST Gift Ideas:

Roach Bags Clips

A pretty nasty but effective solution to your family stealing your chips. Not a lovely gift to unwrap…

A Diet Spoon

Maybe stand a couple of metres back when your recipient opens this one up… Gift with caution

Onion Goggles

Fun? Maybe. Useful? Slightly. A good gift? Not for me

Grumpy Old Man Apron

Merry Christmas Dad! Please no one send this to my dad…

Offensive Cookies

stop talking cookie cutter

A lovely batch of homemade cookies could never go wrong! Unless maybe they told you to die, among other offensive things.

Fishy Fingers Soap

What a nice way to tell someone they stink, and a pretty unpleasant smell at that!

Potato Brush

A brush that looks like a potato… “Thanks so much!!!” Is something you’re sure not to hear.

Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & ____ OFF Oven Mitt

Looks good from afar, but far from good. Quite subtle, but quite rude. A great oven mitt to whip out when that certain visitor overstays their welcome (also see ‘Go Away’ tea towel).

DrinksPlinks Trays

Actually a very fun tray that can be used for ice, soaps, chocolates and more. A letter not relevant to their name might be pretty uninspiring though.

Just a card, and not a relevant one…

Sometimes just a thoughtful card can be a lovely gift. A crude one, not as much. A card like this might not be an excellent gift for the family. Did anyone else receive a Birthday card from Nan for Christmas one year?

Daddy Caddy

A cool name, a cool product, but pretty useless if you don’t have a Scrub Daddy. Maybe pair this with a Scrub Daddy

Cleaning Gloves

“Your home is a mess, get cleaning.” That is what you’re basically saying.

We hope this list has been useful, and maybe made you reconsider a gift or two. Perhaps it’s actually given you a gift idea for that one annoying family member that you still have to shop for. For more cheeky gift ideas, shop here. For genuine gift ideas, shop here.

Merry Christmas!
