Gifts can say a lot about what a person thinks of you, but sometimes the presents leave one wondering: Does this person even know me? Neirad Enilno, in its quest to help shoppers, checked around to find out what gifts not to put under someone’s tree. Here is a sampling of horrible holiday kitsch collected by students.
Sophomore Addie Calcagnini
“My aunt spelled my name wrong on a monogrammed model train,” said sophomore Addie Calcagnini. Imagine trying to smile and say thank you when your butchered name lays there in front of you, forever etched into a chunk of metal
Junior Ashleen Szanto
Every girl loves a Barbie, right? Junior Ashleen Szanto, was on the path to gender equality. “I really wanted a dump truck for Christmas; instead I got the stereotypical Barbie doll.” Dumping Ken just wasn’t the same.
Sophomore Keri Byrne
If you’re 70+ years old, please don’t buy your granddaughter clothes. She will dispose of it as quickly as humanly possible. “My grandma bought me a really tacky Hawaiian shirt. I threw it out,” sophomore Keri Byrne said guiltily.
Senior Mackenzie Milne
“One year a friend gave me a plaque from a thrift shop with printed fruits on it."
Senior RJ Irizary
"Last Christmas, I exclusively asked for a MacBook, nothing else, and on Christmas morning I unwrapped a box that looked like a computer. Turns out it was a computer, but it was a Dell Inspiron, not what I asked for."
