Great gifts are awesome. Terrible gifts are not. Want to avoid the drama this year？ Here are nine most hated gifts you should avoid：
好的礼物人人爱；糟糕的礼物人人嫌。怕今年圣诞选错礼物吗？以下是你应该回避的9种最糟糕的圣诞礼物：
1. Ugly Sweaters
难看的运动衫
Some sweaters are so ugly that they are incredible， like when your aunt thinks she knows what is really “trendy” these days and the department store was having a sale.
有些运动衫实在是难看得不可思议，比如我们自认为很懂潮流的姑妈给我们买的运动衫，或者商场打折的时候出售的运动衫。
2. Surprise Pets
作为“惊喜”的宠物
Unwanted responsibility？ Check. Destroyed furniture？ Check. Emotionally scarring pet funeral after finally coming around to loving the little furball？ CHECK CHECK CHECK.
这样的宠物意味着无端临头的责任、遭破坏的家具，当我们终于喜欢上这毛茸茸的小家伙时，说不定还会因它们去世留下感情的疮疤。
3. Anything “Made With Love”
But Unwearable
一切“表达爱意”却不能戴上街
的手工制品
I mean， thanks for the effort...
呃，还是谢谢您的心意……
4. A Heartfelt Ballad
一首感人的情歌
You are not English famous singer Elton John， and your gift is not your song.
你又不是英国著名歌手艾尔顿·约翰，你送的情歌又不是自己创作的情歌。
5. Gifts You’ve Clearly Grown
out Of
对你来说太幼稚的礼物
Or maybe this big schoolbag is the perfect way to carry books between classes at law school.
或许对于法学院的学生来说，这是一个完美的礼物，这个大书包足够装他们的大部头课本了。
6. Tech Accessories for a Device
You Don’t Own
你并不拥有的电子产品的配件
Know what would be even cooler than a case for a smartphone？ An actual smartphone.
你知道什么礼物比智能手机的手机套更合适吗？一部实实在在的智能手机。
7. Tech Accessories That Are
Completely Outdated
过气电子产品的配件
1998 called， they want their CD case back.
你的CD盒是从1998年借来的吗？快还回去吧！
8. Regifts
转手的礼物
Box from a different store？ Scotch-taped？ We know what you did there！
另一个商场的包装盒？用透明胶封口？若要人不知，除非己莫为！
9. Anything Christmas Themed
任何圣诞主题的东西
Really pointless the rest of the year.
除了圣诞期间，全年其他时候都没有任何意义。
