People Who Should Never Give Gifts Again

Buying gifts for people can be a stressful thing to do. You're always wondering if they'll like it or not, and you're wasting your money. As long as they appreciate it, then it's worthwhile, but you have those folks (and animals) who don't know how to give good gifts or act appreciative. Here are some people who should probably just never give a gift again.

This 9-year-old probably won't receive a solid gift from this parent for at least two more years. Giving someone a plastic bag filled with batteries isn't a good gift, but it's the thought that counts.

This guy's girlfriend either laughed at this or became more upset than he expected. While it is a six-footed bear, it isn't what she meant, and now she has a reason for revenge.

This isn't Frozen, but it's frozen. That angry look on her face is priceless, and you can tell that she'll remember this Christmas for years. Someone will feel her wrath.

This isn't Bitcoin. It isn't even close to Bitcoin, so I'm going to say the person who did this might have it out for the gift receiver. Don't joke with money like this!

There's nothing wrong with a USB drive, but you shouldn't make it look like you're gifting a new Benz. Whoever got this thought they had the best gift ever until they pulled it out of the box.

Honestly, this person didn't even need to give this gift or write that message. Nicole should've just given the lottery tickets instead of a sad story about how terrible she is at giving gifts.

This had to be an honest mistake, right? Kids in middle school develop crushes on their teachers, so this might have been purchased on purpose, but you never really know. Let's just call this an accident.

The woman who received this cup probably hated the gift-giver for about 30 seconds. This is the worst trade-off in gift history. No one wants a cup after thinking they're getting a ring.

Sometimes they say it's the thought that counts, but that doesn't apply to this. No one wants a Nokia phone as a replacement for flowers, no matter how lovely the symbolism is.

If you received this, what would you do? For starters, I'd clean the apple off and take a big bite. Then, I'd spit out some of the apple at the feet of the person who had the nerve to give this. Not really, but you get it.
