It doesn't matter if you believe in Santa Claus or not; we can all agree on one thing - everyone loves getting Christmas gifts. And although Noel is primarily a time to be selfless and generous, some savage trolls view it as the perfect opportunity to have a little bit of fun at their family or friends' expense with their ever so unique gifts.
From using zip ties for packing to getting someone a Mercedes-Benz key-shape USB, the culprits who are featured in this gift ideas list just want to see the world burn. Sure, these gag gifts are funny sometimes, but other times it's just plain annoying and entirely unnecessary.
Bored Panda has collected some of worst (or funniest) Christmas gift ideas people found under their festive evergreen trees, and this hilarious series will make you appreciate the coolest gift ever which is a good old pair of socks you're definitely getting this year as well. Scroll down for proof that "holiday spirit" is a loose term, and upvote your favorite funny gifts!

All of these look the same to me. They look like love. You don't do this for the sibling you are indifferent to.

I don't have pictures of our Christmas troll. Dad bought mom a necklace and used about 5 rolls of duct tape to wrap it up. He only gave her dull scissors. After a few minutes, she gave up and didn't open it until months later, when dad eventually used other tools to open it up... It still took him quite a while haha

I think these will only work if you have a reputation as a joker. You can make somebody really angry if they do not expect it.

For our anniversary, I kept telling my husband that I got him a blanket. I found a fluffy Star Wars blanket for sale and wrapped it around his real gift, which was a signed copy of Nikki Sixx's book "The Heroin Diaries". And then I upped my game for Christmas. I told him that I was getting him ALL the Transformers, so he was thinking I somehow found all the new series figures. Instead I had purchased a munch of electrical pole transformers for model kits and put them in his stocking. He laughed so hard, he fell over. It was worth it to hear that amazing laugh. :D

For my 30th birthday, my best friend and his wife, who is also my good friend, got me a Turles doll, a Turtles mask and a Turtles themed Kimble, which is finnish version of Trouble boardgame. Just because when I was around 3 or 4 years old, I said that when I grow up, I'm gonna be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. Best friends ever!
