“Crafty” presents aren’t presents. It’s cheap crap and you’re trying to save a buck.

Outside those with real actual talent, it’s the most awkward gift ever. Every year people giving others something they made or personalized. Real talk. I don’t need my initials on something. I don’t need something you made.

Take that crap and leave it on Etsy.

I feel like this makes me a jerk but I never could stand the crap growing up and hated it after I was grown. We all know who those people are in the family. I rather just be given nothing. I can’t stand the awkwardness after you open it and they just stare at you. Thanks...for this plant pot you made in ceramics class, Linda.

Man. It’s awkward. The thought is appreciated but this stuff never gets used. It just clutters the house.

Every now and then I feel like I’m a huge a-hole. Then this board reminds me I’m a pretty good dude IMO

I'd rather have something that someone made and put some thought into than a generic $25 gift from Walmart.

it’s the most awkward gift ever


A buddy of mine decided he needed to get me a gift this year even though we have never exchanged gifts. He chose to take the only picture he had of me and my fiancé and blow it up on canvas so we could hang on our wall. That picture happened to be when we were on vacation and by the pool.

So this dude gave me a picture of my finance in a bikini blown up to 24x36 with expectations of me hanging it in my wall.

Again, if you’re talented and turn out quality things, fine, but there is a whole other group of gifts out there that’s just junk.

Let me list the crap I’ve received recently:

-Wind chimes out of PVC
-Half socks. What’s this? It’s socks for half your foot. Don’t even ask me why.
-Plant pot that’s not even symmetrical

I’d rather have something heartfelt and original than more crap from a store.

You deserve nothing. You are fortunate that anyone cares enough to have you in their thoughts at all.

He's probably hoping you get as much use out of the picture as he did.
