The Worst Christmas Gift Ideas for Wives

Read and Learn!

Abby Greenhill
Men, Christmas is approaching fast. We know that you guys wait until 10 minutes before the malls close on Christmas Eve before attempting to buy fantastic gifts for your wives. When that happens, the poor wives end up with either a purple sweater that is 4 sizes too big (or small), a pair of bedroom slippers with two left feet or a box of candy that was fought over and the box shows the scars! The other option that many of you take is the Drug Store Gift. Ugh! Don't do it, don't go there. Shop smart this year, start by reading the worst holiday gift ideas for wives.

Please, I'm begging you. Read this list carefully if you value your marriage; don't buy any of the following items for your wife. The life you save may be your own!

The Worst Holiday Gift Ideas for Wives - Pooper Scooper

Take a look around your home. Do you even have a dog? Whether or not you have a dog, do not buy a pooper scooper for your wife. This is not a proper gift for Christmas or a birthday or any other holiday. Don't buy it.

The Worst Holiday Gift Ideas for Wives - Wrinkle Cream

This would be a hangover from the old Drug Store shopping days. I can tell you that if you buy your wife the biggest jar of Wrinkle Cream on the market, you will be living in the dog house with your non-existent dog! Don't buy it.

The Worst Holiday Gift Ideas for Wives - Fake Designer Anything

Not quite as bad as the pooper scooper, but still lacking in thought, would be buying your wife a fake Ralph Lauren or a fake Gucci handbag. Do not buy a purse off the back of a truck from a guy named Louie. Louie will tell you that cheap $19.99 plastic bag is an authentic designer handbag worth $400. Do not believe him. Don't fall for it. Don't buy it.

The Worst Holiday Gift Ideas for Wives - Small Appliances or Kitchen Knives

No matter how often you heard your wife say she hates her blender, mixer or carving knife, do not, I repeat, do not buy her a small appliance for Christmas. Unless you want to practice being the target in the knife throwing performance at the circus, do not buy small appliances or a gift assortment of 54 knives! Don't buy them.

The Worst Holiday Gift Ideas for Wives - A Gym Membership

This goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway. This is really a tough call, but error on the right side. You may think you are doing something wonderful for your wife, but you're dead meat if you go through with it. Don't buy it.

    Ha ha. I'm not a wife, but I wouldn't like either of these gifts either. One Christmas eve one of my brothers called me from the mall saying he was desperate for gift ideas, LOL, men

    This was great! Definitely received a few of these from my husband. Some years he gets it, some years he doesn't. But he tries so hard and is so proud of the gift he is giving.

    This is great! The worst one ever is a bathroom scale. haha

    My husband learned the hard way when we were young....gave me a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas. I felt like crying. He thought I'd be soooooo happy! I wanted a vacuum but not as a Christmas gift. Totally confused the poor guy. :)

    This was great, can I send this anonymously to my husband?

  • Tracie Walker11/10/2010

    Laughing my head off while sympathizing with wives whose husbands would consider these things. My hubby has impeccable taste, I am relieved to say. :)

    A POOPER SCOOPER?! Someone received a POOPER SCOOPER? I'm hysterical laughing here! Good one!
