Here are some worst gift ideas for him. If you want your boyfriend or husband running for his life, then put these items on top of your list!

A Thighmaster

Wondering what that is? It’s exercise equipment! I bet he would rather go to the gym rather than bring it home with him! A complete no-no when gifts are involved. Get creative this Christmas!

Work tools

You’re husband may never do anything around the house, but don’t disappoint him this Christmas by gifting him a vacuum cleaner or a leaf blower. Where’s the fun and originality?

Ill fitting clothes

Stay away from jeans and t-shirts that don’t fit. Unless you know him THAT well, don’t buy clothes if you’re unsure of size, fabric and color. He may hate the maroon sweater that you think is ‘hot and chic’!

Artwork

He may smile and say thank you. Later he’ll take your ‘beautiful painting’ and make it a table top for his garage workshop! Men and artwork- rarely do they mix. So don’t punish him with modern art that he can hardly understand.

Crazy gift certificates

So you want him to lose weight? That’s fine, but don’t get him a gift certificate to a diet club or coaching tapes on fitness! Why remind him that he’s fat this season! Let me be. Get on his case next year!

Don’t frame yourself

Okay, so you’ve been going for self-esteem classes, but that’s no reason why you should gift him a framed picture of yourself every occasion! Think about it. He has a life which doesn’t always involve you.

Fruitcake frenzy

Unless you’re a word class cook or your husband is a world class liar, stay away from baked fruitcakes. Sometimes they can turn out to be quite a disaster. Fruitcakes pile up during Christmas so it’s better to gift something more personalised.

Assembling nightmares

Your guy may be the king of DIY jobs so you’ve gone and bought him a complicated assemble- it-yourself table. Now he’s stuck in the garage all day trying to figure it out. All the while he’s feeling more like a loser!

Cheap perfume

He may be a guy but almost anyone can spot cheap perfume especially the kind that is placed near the cash counter at department stores. If you’re forgotten to get him a gift just say so rather than buying him something cheap and crude.

Video games

Unless you want him to get so addicted that he has no time for you stay away from buying him video games. Men are still boys at heart so they’ll convince you that video games are the perfect gift!

That’s my top pick of worst gifts for him. I’m sure you can add to this list with your own experiences! We all learn from other people mistakes so wizen up!
