10 worst secret friend gifts anyone can get

Phone book – with modernity and the various cell phones and applications, there is no longer the need to have an agenda. It may have been from the heart, but it’s best to avoid the climate, isn’t it? Invest in gifts that are more similar to the person’s personality.

Kitchen Utensils – Instead of a simple dish towel, give something that can surprise and mark your secret friend in a positive light. If the winner is not a culinary fan or a chef, then it may be best to avoid this type of gift.

Keychain – Even if your friend is one of those friends who loses everything except her head because it’s glued to her body, this isn’t one of the best choices, as it’s pretty boring. Opt for something that is trending, an interesting book, or even a very modern accessory. What matters is making a good impression.

Underwear – The name says it all, if it’s intimate then it’s not up to the other person to decide what to choose. Imagine your co-worker’s reaction when she took the gift out of the packaging and came across a red lace panties? It can be funny, but it is advisable to leave lingerie for a friend, right?

Erotic accessories – As much as it was in the game, trying to make the situation more fun, an erotic accessory is very daring. No matter the level of intimacy between you, this type of gift can make your colleague a little uncomfortable and create an awkward atmosphere. It’s best to cross this option off your secret friend gift list.

Pen – Right off the bat this seems like a good option, but no one ever expects to get a pen as a gift. Even if the model is beautiful, expectations will always be higher. If your secret friend is a boss or someone you’re not so close to, it’s advisable to try to approach or talk to people who are already close to him, and then choose something that matches.

Perfumes – Another very intimate and relative item is perfume. The possibility of your secret friend not liking the chosen fragrance is huge. And it can disappoint both him and you, of course. But if you still want to gift him a perfume, bring some samples and let the other person choose.

Old gifts from you – That t-shirt you got years ago is still sitting in your closet and, at the last minute, you decide to give it as a gift. This may seem a little cold, and your coworker will think you didn’t try so hard and were sorry to spend. The best thing to do is to donate the shirt and buy something that has more to do with your secret friend.

Hygiene products – Soap kits or bath items are common gifts, but your friend might be a little offended and take it personally. Pay attention to the types of creams or beauty products she already uses, simple can make a difference.

Biscuit or do it yourself – Saw a cool tutorial on how to do something yourself and decided to take a chance? The intention may have been great, but it can be a bit complicated, since the result must be perfect so it doesn’t look “barely finished”. Just in case, settle on something your friend has already mentioned that she once wanted.
