People tend to take gifting very lightly. They don’t understand how a gift means so much to some of us because, hello? Free stuff! But these people don’t care, a gift is a formality which is basically to tell you, ‘I was here and I bought you something so shitty that will help you remember me.’ It doesn’t matter how many times you had to step back but the greed in you makes your hands go forward and just grab that thing not knowing what’s behind that cool gift wrap. And what comes out of that packing makes you wish for X-ray vision, so you could just be prepared for the next time. (Although, that’s the least I’d do with x-ray vision)
Now, following are the lamest gifts that you may encounter in your life and if you do receive them, pack ‘em nice and pass ‘em on!
#1 Crockery Set
Crockery sets have been topping the list of lamest gifts for as long as we can remember. And by being the most common in the category they are also the ones to be passed on just the way they were received. Seriously, it’d be really nice if people could be a little more creative with their gifts. A beer mug set would be so much better, probably a gift that would make anyone happy as hell. You never know if the receiver might just pop some beer right there?

#2 A Flower Vase
Another depressing gift is a flower vase; not for those who like flowers maybe but flowers die too and dead flowers in a vase is as depressing as it gets. Nobody has got time for changing flowers every now and then. Something useful or fun would be really appreciated. Don’t underestimate yourself, gifting isn’t rocket science. You can do better!

#3 A weighing machine
Now what the f*ck were you thinking gifting someone a weighing machine? It sends out only one message and that isn’t a good one! How about being a little considerate and buying food for that person? Gifts are supposed to make people happy and that one gift might just end your relation with that person, leaving you with a mark on your head. If you know what I mean.

#4 Photo frames
Living in the 21st century and still gifting photo frames? You really need help! And Google might just be the place for you to start searching. Because when it comes to gifting, you can trust no one, *leans in* no one! And yes, those 3D photo frames? Even they are out of the picture.

#5 Artificial jewellery
Artificial jewellery is pretty much a risk when it comes to gifting. There are two things you need when gifting artificial jewellery: first one being a really good choice and knowing if it’s going to suit the one you’re buying for and second, that person itself chooses it. That spares you the risk. If both the options aren’t happening, you better look for another option!

#6 Scarves
Surprisingly, even scarves are passed on as lame gifts! And to think of it, they are pretty good at being passed on because they’re free size, if you don’t like the design, no worries, pass it on to someone else who might! And if they don’t, the cycle will continue till it comes back to strangle you. Just kidding, it’s highly unlikely to get back that one scarf that you passed on. And let’s say if it does, burn that thing to the ground.

#7 Wall Clocks
Enlighten us as to how wall clocks qualify for gifts? People would rather decorate their walls with posters and pictures rather than a big ass wall clock. Let’s face it; wall clocks are quite ugly and outdated. If you still want to gift a wall clock make sure it’s exclusive and the person you’re gifting to actually need it.

#8 Fugly clothes
Clothes are a pretty good gifts but only when you know what you’re actually gifting. It takes fashion sense and also common sense to buy clothes when they’re not for you. Imagine someone gifting you a shirt with designs that can give you nightmares or a basic shirt but it won’t fit you because the person never thought of looking for the right size. Thank God people don’t gift underwear.

#9 Bed sheet sets
Just when you lost all hope on gifting, you remembered a bed sheet set that’s been lying somewhere in the corner of your house. And it’s time to get rid of it, so, you gift wrap one of the lamest gift in the history of gifts and be on your way to dump it at someone’s place… with a smile. A job well done.

#10 Cloth materials
This one is like one of the favourite lamest things that elderly people like to pass on. Cloth materials for suits or Indian wear is passed on like a game. Add shawls to that list, because ladies don’t want to stay behind! This is a never ending process and nobody ever enjoys it.

Also, have you ever realised that the lamest gifts come back to you like a boomerang and the good ones, well, they are pretty rare in existence.
