As Christmas draws near, aside from meals and drinks with loved ones, one of the biggest highlights is the gift exchange. Starting from the selection process, you’re filled with both anticipation and dread—and more often than not, you end up with duplicates or unoriginal items. The following ten super NG gifts are ones you definitely shouldn’t give this year.
1. Plush Toys
Plush toys elicit awkward smiles from men and may not even delight women—they’re a staple at every holiday gift exchange.

2. Perfume
Perfume isn’t inherently bad, but everyone has different scent preferences—making it a risky choice for a gift exchange.

Warm gloves are everyday winter items, but not everyone wears them.

4. Mugs
Every Christmas season, holiday-themed mugs hit the shelves—they’re the kind of gift people have received far too many times.

5. Hand Cream
Men often take it home to give to their moms, and women might regift it to a sister if they don’t like the scent—it’s a nightmare gift for many during the holidays.
