Worst Idea

Worst Gift Idea for Families

The type of gifts you should avoid buying really depends on the family. For example, if the family has two toddlers who have just learned how to walk, you’ll want to avoid buying glass presents or things that can break easily. Anything sharp is also a no-no.

Some people don’t like to receive impersonal gifts, like gift cards. People appreciate it when you put effort into choosing a gift for them, so getting them a gift card isn’t a good idea. This really depends on personal preference. Some people would love to get a gift card for their favorite store.

It’s never a good idea to get someone a pet without consulting them first. While getting a pet is something the children of the family desperately want, the parents might not approve.

If you’ve been to their house before, you probably know what kind of stuff they like. If you want to get them some décor, make sure it’s something that fits their taste. For example, don’t get them a black-and-red checkered blanket if everything in their apartment is beige.
