We’ve all gotten a present that wasn’t our favorite, but what’s the absolute worst one you’ve unwrapped? That’s what a new survey from online gift site Merchoid wanted to find out. They asked 3-thousand Americans about the biggest holiday gift fail they ever received and got some enlightening responses.

  • The poll also finds that a quarter of respondents think their partner’s gifts aren’t very thoughtful and for 39%, that’s a potential dealbreaker.
  • The way a gift is presented is important to 63%, while 47% feel a gift’s cost is equal to its emotional worth.
  • And nearly two-thirds (65%) say a present can change their perception of the giver forever.

The Worst Holiday Gifts People Have Ever Received

  • Diet books or weight-loss program membership - 28%
  • Donations to causes they don’t like - 18%
  • Personal hygiene products - 16%
