WORST GIFTS EVER!

The main purpose why I wrote this blog is to share and feature gift ideas which people could give to their loved ones (Boyfriends, Girlfriends, Spouse, parents,etc.).
But first, I think It is important to make a guide of WHAT-NOT-TO-GIVE to make sure that the receiver won’t feel bad about your gift.
So I used facebook and conducted a little survey and asked them what are the Three worse gifts they don’t want to receive from their boyfriends or girlfriends. Here are what the girls think:

1. HANKY/TOWEL
Well, I guess this one is obvious. There isa a saying that when a guy gives you a hanky, hw eill just make you cry. So Boys, never give your girlfriends handkerchiefs or towels on their birthdays/anniversaries. I could consider that as one of the “hindi pinagisipang mabuti” kinds of gifts. Giving that is a big NO-NO UNLESS.. she needs it badly at the moment. Like, you saw her crying or she needs kasi natapunan ng juice yung dress nya and she needs something to wipe it off.. You could lend your hanky to her. I find that gesture really sweet-lalo na if popormahan mo palang si girl.

2. MUG/PLATES 
Simply because.. May ganun na sila san bahay nila..So she doesn’t need dining utensils na. Perso syempre, there are exceptions.. According to one girl that I talked to while conducting the survey, If the mug is really really cute like this: (* insert pic*) Then Go..She’ll love it.
 Also, Stay away also from personalized mugs and plate..Yung may mga mukha pa nila. Some girls find that corny and cheap. Parang wedding souvenirs lang. These kinds of personalized gifts, I think may be given if you two are already married or if you want to give your parents a little surprise that you can use in your own house.

3. HYGIENE SET 
This includes deodorant, mouthwash, toothpaste, toothbrushes and perfumes. Grabe naman. May pambili naman siguro sila nun. You don’t have to buy her that unless they asked you directly. For perfumes, I guess it would be an exception if you are giving her the expensive ones like VS, Lacoste,Bath & Body works. Just make sure it isn’t fake.

4. PICTURE FRAME
 This is one of the top hated Christmas exchange gifts of all time. Never give your girlfriend one UNLESS if you pit in there your favorite picture together, a memorable photo of your first date, first out of town trip together,etc. It would also be nice to add a little secret message at the back of the picture.

5. TEDDY BEAR 
 I was surprise after learning that some girls don’t like teddy bears because they find that as “super gasgas na regalo and parang hindi pinagisipan”. Some said that the reason why they don’t like those is because they are not useful and they are too childish. Know your girl more if she really loves these stuffs and what kinds of teddy bears or stuffed toys she likes.

6. COUPLE SHIRTS
 Those lame ones. Yung pang-JEJE. I guess that includes prints which says “I love him/her (with an arrow)”. Be creative. There are lots of cute other couple shirts available out there like those seen in Korean online shops. When designing, It is better to Stay simple like a little “King/Queen” prints.

7. FLOWERS
Not everybody likes flowers. One out of 10 girls doesn’t like flowers because they just dry up and wants his man to be practical than spending a thousand for just a bouquet of roses. Pang-kain nalang daw sana.. But I guess that depends on the type of girl you’re dating.

 Here are other stuffs that other girls consider as worse gifts:
8. FOOD THEY DON’T LIKE

9. CLOTHING THAT DOESN’T FIT THEIR STYLE 

10. FIGURINES 

11. BABY FROM ANOTHER WOMAN 

12. BULLSHIT EXCUSES 

13. NO TIME 

14. GIFT CERTIFICATES 

15. DIET PILLS 

16. BREAKUP LETTER 

17. GOOD MORNING TOWEL 

18. PAMPAREGLA

19. REJECTION

20. CHOCOLATES

21. SUYOD

P.S. swear.. Tawa nalang ako ng tawa sa epic answers that I got..

 I also asked boys their opinions and here are the WORST gifts they don’t want to receive from their girlfriends:

1. BRIEF/UNDIES
 Boys find it awkward. Maybe if you two are already married for a long time, pwede. For now, well.. siguro you could give him other stuffs instead.
But one random guy find this one as a cute gift. (You know who you are. *winks*)

2. HANKY/TOWEL 

3. PICTURE FRAME 

4.  HYGIENE SET 

5. UTENSILS 

6. RETURNED GIFTS
 It would be really painful if you are giving him a box filled with everything he gave you before just because you two are breaking up. I find it really rude. Better not give him anything than doing that. 

7. BRACELET 

8. SHIRT or SANDO 

9. BALLPEN 

10. CASH 

11. RECYCLED GIFTS 

12. TEDDY BEARS 

13. SMALL PILLOW 

14. SLIPPERS 

15. ALBUM OF A BOY BAND (unless if it is their favourite)

16. For a guy who’s life is dedicated to the military: AMMUNITIONS THAT DOESN’T WORK 
WITH ANY OF YOUR GUNS IN THE ARMORY, SWORD THAT BREAKS ON THE FIRST SWING AND GUNPOWDER. 

17. HATRED

18. REJECTION 

19. PRIDE

20. PAIN 

For me, Giving your loved ones NOTHING because you FORGOT the occasion is the WORST . People aren’t choosy and will appreciate EVERYTHING if they truly love you. I know some who even give their BFs and GFs couple underwear just for fun. You just have to explain it to them why you’ve chosen the gift and laugh as much as you want. Always try to give him or her little surprises or if you have a small budget, a little love letter would do. It is the thought that is important. So I guess this entry served as a huge signboard of gifts you should think twice before giving to your loved ones. :)
