If it’s been more than a week since Christmas and you still smell of cheap perfume and summer sausage, you were bad gifted. And if you missed last year’s Sam Goody Bad-Gift Boycott, during which hundreds of bad-gift recipients tossed their unwanted presents in trash bins outside Sam Goody stores, listen up. “It is estimated that $1 billion worth of gifts will be returned this holiday season,” explained Laurie Bauer of Sam Goody. “The Bad-Gift Boycott is part of our quest to rid the world of bad gifts.” Jill Bocher of St. Paul was on hand at the Minneapolis Bad-Gift Boycott with her mother. The youngster hurled the princess clock she received from her grandmother into the trash container. “Sometimes Grandma forgets that Jill is nearly 11 and her princess’ stage has long since passed,” her mother, Gail Bocher, told Goody officials. To get the process started, Sam Goody officials offered a list of their “Hall of Shame” : the Top 10 worst gifts collected at the Bad-Gift Boycott and offered comments of explanation for each. Clown art: “Whether it’s a happy clown or a sad clown, the receiver of your gift will resemble the latter.” Homemade sweaters: Recipients can find some small amount of comfort in remembering that “the person who knitted the garment at least thought enough of you to take the time to create it, regardless of how itchy and ill-fitting it may be.” Puzzles: “Be wary of giving a puzzle to anyone between the ages of 15 and 25. This age group sees the concept of working on a puzzle akin to watching grass grow.” Tube socks: “Retro is in, but not THAT in.” Ties: “Ugly ties, along with the fruitcake, have become a bad gift cliche.” Exercise videos and diet books: “A gift/hint of this nature is as subtle as a battering ram.” Undergarments: “Women typically choose boxer shorts with overly cute designs that men can’t wear to the gym. Men typically choose something too risque.” Padded toilet seat: “What were you thinking?” Sausage sample pack: “Very few people, really, truly have a need for 10 different kinds of sausage at any one time.” “Drugstore perfumes: “It’s cute if a very young boy buys it as his first gift for his mom, other than that, cheap perfume is wrong on too many levels to actually list.” Perhaps the only thing worse than finding a gift you received for Christmas on that list is finding a gift you gave to someone who supposedly was a loved one.
