We have to bring a $15 guy gift, and a $15 girl gift for the Secret Santa with one side of Marmot’s family.

I hate being like this, because it sounds like I’m ungrateful for being given a gift. I’m not! But come on, pass-around gifts are truly the worst gifts. They have to be something that can go to anyone, from 12 year-old cousin or 90 year-old Gramma. Which means that as a woman, you are limited to smelly bath stuff or food that can be chewed with dentures.

Why do we put ourselves through this? I would so much rather shop for someone in particular, because if I have to go generic, you’re getting my Secret Santa gift from last year. Which is a lovely rose-scented bath set, still in the plastic wrap.

So tell me….what is the worst generic Christmas gift you’ve ever gotten?
