So you’re looking at the mall for a Christmas present for dad or your husband. There are a lot of serious mistakes you could make this year when giving bad gifts to the men in your life, but these are the 5 worst Christmas gifts for dads and husbands. I hope your gift is not included and if it is I feel sorry for the men in your life.

The number 5 worst gift you can give your dad or husband is socks. Yes, you read that right, socks. Some women actually thought this was a good Christmas present for dads and husbands. Girls think about it, what do you do if your husband buys you socks for Christmas. He would be in the doghouse for weeks, some of you might even be considering divorce. Yes, we need socks, but that’s like saying we need toilet paper or a toothbrush. We also don’t want nice expensive socks, they go on our big feet and no one sees them. And on top of that they get lost. I’m sure if you did a survey, 75% of men would wear mismatched socks. Ladies, even if you’re trying to be funny, don’t buy us socks.

The number 4 worst Christmas gift you could give your father or husband is a donation to charity. Yes, donating to charity is great all year long, but do it yourself, not on someone else’s behalf. It’s a nice way of saying, “Hey, I need a tax break and I can get your gift at the same time,” he said enough.

The third worst Christmas gift for dads and husbands is exercise equipment or a gym membership. We can talk about trying to get in shape, but we don’t really need to be pressured to do so. This gift has a good chance of making us mad at you, think again what you would do if your husband gave you a gym membership, kill him good so stay away from that.

The second worst Christmas gift for dads and husbands is nuts, popcorn and other foods. I really have to explain this.

And the number 1 worst Christmas gift for dads and husbands is pets. Yes, pets, this really happens. First of all, the only people who should be surprised by a pet are 9-year-olds. A pet is a full-time commitment, both in terms of time and money. There is also potty training and cleaning up after them. So please, we do not want any more responsibilities for Christmas, if you need ideas, ask, it will make Christmas more enjoyable for both of us.
