14 Home Gifts No One Wants

If you want to go with flowers, opt for a fresh bouquet every time.

Anything that can be interpreted as clutter is a no-go. That includes all type of tchotchkes, especially those that are personal only to you – such as a commemorative plate from your trip to DC. If uncle Bob wasn't on the trip, he definitely doesn't want a memento from it.

We don't care how hilarious that Snuggie is. The joke will soon wear thin, and your poor gift receiver will be stuck with a giant, space-sucking blanket.

Let's be honest, miniature figurines are almost always creepy. Even if you find it adorable, it doesn't mean that the gift receiver will too.

Not only are you sending the message that the receiver's house stinks, but you're also assuming he or she has the same taste in scents as you. Play it safe and assume they don't.

Cleaning tools are depressing enough to buy for ourselves, let alone receive as a gift. Skip the sponge and give something more fun.

Instead of generous, you'll look like the ultimate passive aggressive mean girl by giving a self-help book. And don't try to argue that it will look so pretty on their coffee table, because we're not buying it.

This little gift has weighty implications. Avoid any potential hurt feelings by giving something else.

It's pretty darn disappointing to reach into your stocking and pull out a mini tube of toothpaste. Trust us, we've been there.

The only person you can get away with giving a framed picture of yourself to is your mom. End of story.

You can argue tools are handy, but they're certainly not fun and we definitely don't want them as gift.

Art is just too personal to buy for someone else. Unless you know the receiver wanted a specific piece, let them decide what they want on their walls themselves.

Do I really have to explain this one?

From the Banana Guard to the hottest "As Seen on TV" gadget of the moment, no one wants these trendy but extraneous accessories cluttering their kitchen.
