Well, they say good things come in small packages, but this gift was packed in a huge one instead.

We’re not sure what that says about it other than “this is why we have a lot of landfills.”

That’s what brothers are for, right – to torture you even while they’re technically doing something nice?

It’s going to be a while before she finds out what’s in there – and we sure hope it’s worth the effort!

Grandma doesn’t suffer fools well.

You ask for a ridiculous gift, you get it! Or 100 of them in this case!

This little girl is going to be much more specific in the future when she asks for Frozen swag.

Do you think this is the year she learned the truth about Santa? Or did her parents say it was from them?

There’s nothing that guarantees disappointment more than putting a gift in a box it doesn’t belong in – especially when that box is for something luxurious.

Where does one get so many iPad boxes anyway?

We’re not sure if this is real, but it’s hilariously awful.

In fact, we’re pretty sure it can’t be real, otherwise we’d see A LOT more kids getting this for Christmas as a joke.

And since when did “digging” become a chore?!

Ouch.

Talk about raising hopes only to dash them and slash them.

Apparently, some people really like to see their loved ones let down on Christmas.

Technically, it could be worse (or “worst,” in this case).

The real question is whether or not she’ll ever wear it.

Maybe to do chores?

The person who posted this photo said: “My wife asked for ‘laser hair removal’ for Christmas…she was less than thrilled.”

Yeah, we would be too – unless we liked to watch the cat run around while we shave. And that just sounds dangerous.

Bold move. We imagine it either came with a break-up note or a better gift.

Tinfoil is plenty shiny, but we’ve never described it as “pretty.” Nice try, though.

Well, to be fair, it’s pretty disappointing to get a gift that doesn’t come with the needed batteries.

Alas, we found something worse.

But, hey, free battery!

Three carats worth of anything makes for a pretty pricey piece of jewelry.

So if you’re asking for something so elaborate, you probably should prepare for disappointment.

But at least he got part of the request right.

Actually, this is worse than re-gifting. We’re all for recycling, but finding junk around the house is next level.

It does make for a good joke though. (We just hope it WAS a joke.)

Wow, that’s a bad one.

Do you think it was a joke – or did someone re-gift the card because they forgot to get a real gift and didn’t realize they had already used it?

Well, frankly, you can get away with this one without ever having bought the lottery tickets.

It almost feels generous at first. Until you do the math.

We don’t want to know about any “ornaments”!

Laundry on Christmas is a pretty crap gift.

Then again, we suppose someone’s gotta do it.

There’s so little point in buying gifts for children who are too young to know what’s going on. Basically, you’re just buying something for the parent to use or discard.

We kind of love this shirt though.

Let’s just hope this tot doesn’t have any older siblings though.

To be fair, we’ve opened the fridge before when we were hungry and felt like everything was a great gift.

But that doesn’t mean we want to upwrap it like one.

It’s funny – but the joke’s time has come and gone thanks to most people trying to create less waste around the holidays.

Well, technically that’s a frozen doll. It’s just not a Frozen doll.

Kids really need to learn to speak in italics if they want the right gift.

Hey, what else are you going to do with all of those extra boxes sitting around the house around the holidays?

People seem to love playing this “nesting” game with gifts.

It’s just better when there’s something good inside the last one.

Excellent girlfriend gag!

Grandma got some awkwardly sexy panties and the boyfriend got the shaming he deserves for making his girlfriend pick out Christmas gifts for his family.

But, damn, where did she even find that color?

There seem to be 100 ways to give someone an “Apple Watch” without actually having to shell out hundreds of dollars.

But, hey, at least they’re wearing it. And it does seem to fulfill its main functions, which are to tell time and get noticed.

Just like Apple products, people have been hanging out in the produce aisle to get the latest “Beats by Dre” headphones as well.

Maybe we need to stop naming things after food so there are no more mix-ups!

Wait, you didn’t say Eggs Box 360?!

Huh.

If you meant Xbox, you really should have learned to pronounce it better.

Not only is this cruel, but it had the added disadvantage of making the recipient go to each place and try to spend the gift card (or at least every website) before they figure out which one is worth something.

Clever trick though!

When dads take dad jokes one step too far, everyone feels awkward.

But we have the feeling he was probably laughing his butt off at pranking his daughter who wanted an iPad.

We hope he at least went to the store and bought those pads himself!

Want to give your kid nightmares for Christmas!

Just wrap their doll so it looks like it comes to life and may or may not attack in the middle of the night.

Kids love that.

Nice one, mom.

See, this is why you have to be good to your mama. She will prank you until the end of time – and she’ll do it in a way you can’t even argue about.

Geez, people are CRUEL on Christmas.

No one really wants a frying pan (that’s the kind of thing you can buy any day of the week).

But to open it up and see an iPhone is something special!

Then to open that up and see socks is just tragic.

Wow, and we thought the Apple gag gifts were bad. Apparently, it could all be worse.

You can’t even eat a raw potato.

That a new level of random disappointment.

Huh, so they make Steve Buscemi leggings. Color us surprised.

Why anyone would waste their money on them for a quick laugh is beyond us, but that’s ok – it’s not our money.

We kind of hope she wears them just to make the gift-giver feel awkward.

Good effort! Printing the photos in color, buying the frame, and getting them all in place is a lot of effort.

It might have been effort better spent on something else, but they he wouldn’t have this great photo of his friend looking massively disappointed.

Well, to be fair, Die Hard is a classic Christmas movie, so why not bring Bruce Willis into your holiday traditions?

This is the final gift though – there’s no topping it. It’s just too meta.

We wouldn’t call paying rent gift-giving, but hey, if you’re going to try and make it special, you could do worse.

The bank is going to be so annoyed when they have to count all of those coins again.

That was a very tiny guitar to begin with – but maybe they asked for a ukelele.

It doesn’t matter though because, in the end, they got nothing at all.

This seems like a lot of wrapping effort to put into such a “hollow” gesture.

Well that’s an eyebrow-raiser!

But if his friend is ok with it, then we have no right to be offended. And since the recipient is the one who posted it, we assume he found it all pretty funny.

Most people don’t actually aspire to be “twinning” with their bestie unless they’re a 5th-grade girl.

But we have to admit that this makes for a great photo.

And the dog seems both willing to wear the shirt AND confused about seeing his or her own face on one.

Seriosuly, couldn’t we all use one of these this year?!

Apparently, it makes the perfect gift for retirees too.

What can we say, when you’re home all the time it’s really easy to forget what day it is.

Now THAT is some foresight.

Lull your relatives into a false sense of security using years of kind gift-giving all in the hopes of someday making them eat soap.

That’s diabolical!

Yeah, we think the joke’s on the partner who made these in the first place.

He’s probably going to wear them until they’re moldy – and then what are you going to do?

We’ve heard of candles that are supposed to help get the wax out of your ears (warning: they’re a scam). But a candle MADE of earwax?!

Luckily, it is too gross to exist. But apparently, you get still get something that looks just as disgusting.

Grandpa will see your gag gift and raise you the delight of seeing him use it all year long!

A coffee cup is a coffee cup, as far as he’s concerned. You can’t read it and drink at the same time anyway.

Wow, people really got on the iPad gag train.

Maybe it’s time to retire this “joke.”

It really is kind of mean to let someone down so hard – even on a regular day.

This is not the start of a good retirement plan.

Is it even legal to break up coins like that?

At least you can exchange Bitcoin for things that have value.

Don’t you hate it when you ask for a gift and people deem it a bad request.

Well, this dad finally got his pizza pan. And engraved to boot!

Hey, at least they didn’t get him boxes and packing tape.

At least these can be used for going on a trip – if someone who is 24 and lives with their parents can afford one.

Why does there always have to be a mean aspect to the Apple gags?

This one at least ended well, even though it started off unnecessarily traumatic.

There’s a lot of self-esteem wrapped up in this photo.

But if she took a photo, at least that means she didn’t just roll her eyes and walk away.

It would have been hard to catch up with her “dressed” like that anyway.

Can you buy these or do you have to take the time to sew 4 extra paws onto a stuffed animal just to execute the prank?

Seems like a lot of effort.

Then again, so does purchasing, transporting, and wrapping a 6-foot-tall Teddy bear.

At first we wondered why anyone would make a jam sample that small. Then we noticed the note.

Yep, that’s a strawberry-flavored condom.

It really would be a miracle if someone wanted to use that.

Looks like someone is headed to HR after giving this prank gift.

And is that a real zucchini? If so, where on earth did he find one that size in winter?!

The poster explained: “I’m poor and my parents don’t need anything, so this is their Christmas gift this year.”

Ok, that’s probably a better bet than trying to guess at a gift and wasting your money.

Frankly, he could have taken a worse photo.

But if she really hated that one, then we trust her brother to know it and to make sure that’s the one that made the cut.

Can you imagine what the people who make these personalized cups have seen during their workdays?!

We just really hope he didn’t have to drive home after opening this at his parents’ house.

Can you imagine being pulled over and asked to open the duffel bag only to have to explain that it’s full of money from your mom and cookie ingredients?

Likely story.

You have to scroll through the photos below to see it all unfold.

But hey, mom told her kids that if they didn’t behave, they were getting broccoli for Christmas.

Don’t mess with mama.

Well that’s certainly worse than the zip ties!

We just hope the heat didn’t taint the taste of the alcohol.

But maybe it doesn’t matter since that’s never coming out of its cage anyway.

Sometimes at the end of all your effort is just more disappointment.

We imagine he could come up with some good ideas for re-pranking his sibling using the same drawing next year.

Yeesh, did he at least wash it for her?

What are you going to do with a giant bow?

Maybe drive around with it on your car? Or does that draw too much attention to the fact that it’s NOT a Lexus?

We’re not sure how much more specific dad could have been.

This is not something we could have expected after asking for a wire stripper.

Then again, that’s kind of a strange gift request.

Well, it’s not a cat.

It’s just another sarcastic sibling.

At least they found a way to put some thought into it!
