Mass Manufactured ToysChildren love toys, making this an easy holiday gift idea. However, mass manufactured toys are one of the worst holiday gifts for 2007. There have been lots of toy recalls from large toys companies throughout the year. That should be a cause for concern when shopping for holiday gifts to give children. Mass manufactured toys seem more dangerous now than ever. Board games and puzzles may be a better holiday gift idea for 2007. If you must get a toy, try to find handmade toys from local artists or popular museums. SocksHollywood actor, Vince Vaughn actually named this item as one of the worst Christmas gifts that he received. That was addressed during an interview on television and may be true for more than celebrities. Socks are inexpensive and can be purchased at any other time of the year. The holidays are not the best time to purchase socks and give them as holiday gifts. Children may be able to get away with this, but adults will not. The only types of socks that may be received well as a holiday gift are hard-to-find items. Novelties and socks that cost more than average because of their material may be good selections if socks are being purchased as holiday gifts. ToolsThis is one of the worst holiday gifts for 2007 when thinking of gift ideas for men. While tools can be great gifts, they are not the best items to give any man this year. However, it may be suitable if he has placed tools on his holiday wish list. Otherwise, do not assume that a man wants tools for the holidays. You cannot get away with this holiday gift unless you are under 16 years of age.
Men who may actually enjoy tools are mechanics, painters or construction workers. Still, even they may get tired of tools sitting around after a while. It may be best to get men something that they have wanted for a long time, but never got around to purchasing it for themselves. Think about items that he has mentioned from time to time and never received it. This could be anything from sports tickets to sporting merchandise or fishing gear. Makeup KitThis is one of the Worst Holiday Gifts for 2007 to give adult women. Much like tools for men, it is not wise to give a makeup or cosmetics kit unless the person has placed it on her holiday wish list. However, you can still give makeup or cosmetics kits to teenagers and young girls so long as it is allowed by her parents and is age appropriate. Most adult women have some type of income. That means they can buy their own makeup. This is a touchy area to get into because every woman does not like the same brand or shade of lipstick, blush, eye shadow and other cosmetics. Assuming that a woman you know will love the 25 piece cosmetics kits that you picked up on sale for $19 is not the best idea. Think before you buyDo you own tons of items that were given to you for the holidays that are rarely used? If this applies to your situation, it is because the giver probably assumed that you would like something even if it may not fit your personality. Many people have items that they do not use or even enjoy. Comparing the gift to the person will help in making the best decisions. This is one of the most important tips for making sure that you don't give the Worst Holiday Gifts for 2007. Do not buy jewelry for people who rarely wear jewelry and do not buy cosmetics for women who never wear makeup. Buying a football jersey for men who play golf is not a good idea. By Ms. Nicole A
