The 25 Worst Gifts Employees Have Ever Received

While this isn't the most awful gift anyone could ever receive for the holidays, it's still a hit or miss. The only people decked out in puka shell necklaces these days are VSCO girls and they average at around 14 years old.

We're obviously progressing here on our list. Who would ever think to themselves that it's a good idea to give someone a potato for Christmas. If I ever received a potato from a boss, I would just wonder why.

Okay, the stale candy might be forgivable, but a used mug? Get completely out of here. You couldn't move $10 of the company budget around for the sake of keeping things sanitary? Gross.

Candy in a mason jar? Cute. Just a mason jar lid? I'd rather not get anything at all.

Nobody uses wall phones anymore. Sorry.

If you forgot to get a gift and this was the last spot you passed on your way into the office, this may just be a personal opinion, but you could've done worse. It's from a gas station, so yuck. But, at the same time, at least it's wine.

Since we're in Jersey though, this wouldn't be what we ended up with if our boss stopped at a gas station.

Miss me with your foot fetish, boss-man.

This might win the title of "most random Christmas gift". If you have kids, this could make a good bath toy. If not, don't know what to tell you. Maybe, repurpose it as a pet toy?

Don't understand why lottery tickets are the 17th worst gift you could ever receive from your boss. He basically just gave you a chance at maybe never having to walk through your office's front door again. You'd have to win, of course.

If you don't know what a Squatty Potty is, it's basically a step that rests at the foot of your toilet. Why would you ever give an employee a Squatty Potty? What are you trying to say, boss?

Shampoo is not an objective gift. Everyone has a different hair texture, therefore everyone uses a shampoo that fits their head's particular need. Don't give it to anyone. Just don't.

Enough said.

If you use the excuse that you car's battery died a few too many times this year, now you know why your boss gave you jumper cables.

Depending on your sense of humor and maturity level, this will probably go right in the trash.

Nobody loves bananas enough to receive them as a Christmas gift.

Are you trying to call your employee a witch? Do you want them to also put in overtime as part of the office's maintenance staff? A broom, though?

Not the right time.

Depending on the expiration date, this might not be the worst gift to receive.

You clearly just grabbed these out of the supply closet, but thanks, I guess...

This could be interpreted one of two ways, neither one of which would you want your employee to think.

Thanks, but that's what GNC is for.

Don't be assuming someone's religion. Where's HR?!

Remember the viral 'It's an avocado" video?

Slap of Spaghetti X via Youtube

That will be the reaction.

See above.

You know why a stress ball is the absolute WORST gift you could EVER give to your employees? Because YOU are the ultimate cause OF their stress. Give me a stress ball and thanks for the giant slap in the face, ya jerk.
