It doesn't matter if you believe in Santa Claus or not; we can all agree on one thing - everyone loves getting Christmas gifts. And although Noel is primarily a time to be selfless and generous, some savage trolls view it as the perfect opportunity to have a little bit of fun at their family or friends' expense with their ever so unique gifts.
From using zip ties for packing to getting someone a Mercedes-Benz key-shape USB, the culprits who are featured in this gift ideas list just want to see the world burn. Sure, these gag gifts are funny sometimes, but other times it's just plain annoying and entirely unnecessary.
Bored Panda has collected some of worst (or funniest) Christmas gift ideas people found under their festive evergreen trees, and this hilarious series will make you appreciate the coolest gift ever which is a good old pair of socks you're definitely getting this year as well. Scroll down for proof that "holiday spirit" is a loose term, and upvote your favorite funny gifts!

My Bro Told My Grandma, Jokingly, He Wanted 100 Things From The Dollar Store For Christmas, Grandma Doesn't Like Being Challenged
Jim Price 7 years ago
My stepfather's mother was never one for things in general. She did dote on the gifts we gave her, but when asked, all she asked for was necessities... lipsticks, face powder, and things only another lady would care or understand about. My mother accepted the challenge and sent gran what she asked for, 20 to 30 items, each individually wrapped in festive papers. Gran loved it so much she asked for her 'box of thangs' every year until she passed. God bless you both, dear ladies.

I'm curious about the label on the bottle. Did she touch her genitals? Or did he touch his genitals? Or...wait a minute...did they touch EACH OTHER'S genitals?

Instead of washing your hands each time, I would recommend washing your genitals with it every time you use them for any purpose and then be worry-free rest of time.
