Worst Ideas

Unsuitable Gifts for The Age

While it’s true you shouldn’t let your age stop you from doing what you love, some activities are simply not feasible for older people. So, avoid gifting your loved ones anything that will remind them of what they can no longer do. For example, if they have a bad knee, let’s stay away from running equipment.

Inappropriate Gifts for The Individual

Similarly, the worst gifts are those that don’t match the recipient’s interests. If he’s never played golf or talked about taking up this sport, there’s really no point in getting him a golf-related gift.

Last Minute Tips

If you’d like to purchase a more practical gift but don’t want it to seem impersonal, there are several ways to make your gift more unique.

• Engrave the gift with the recipient’s name or birthday
• Have the gift custom-made to fit him perfectly
• Purchase something he’s always talked about
