Not this: the most stupid gifts that people received for the New Year (12 photos)

Surely they were made from the heart. But the recipient somehow didn’t appreciate them.





Animals

"They gave me a kitten. And everything would be fine, but:

1) I didn’t seem to plan for a cat and was generally not ready for such responsibility

2) I lived in a rented apartment where the owner forbade keeping animals

3) my boyfriend, with whom I lived in that apartment, is allergic to cats

But this is not a stuffed monkey, you can’t send it to the balcony. They closed the doors at night, otherwise the guy would begin to choke when this fluffy monster sat on his head, so she began to turn her tray over and if she managed to do something in this tray during the night, she would definitely smear everything on the floor, and then go climb kitchen table. With grief, they placed her in good hands, gave away with her all the goodies that they had managed to buy, such as a tray, scratching posts, toys, etc., and then forgot them like a bad dream. Never give animals as gifts, these are not things, but a big responsibility."



“My future husband searched on the Internet for a long time: “What should I give my beloved for the New Year?”, and read that a budgerigar is an ideal gift. And I ordered a backpack or the book “The other day,” but for some reason he decided it was too banal. Squeezing teeth, I accepted the gift, although I was never one for animal lovers, much less birds. The parrot lived with us for three years, my husband looked after him, and when I became pregnant, he “became furious” from lack of attention and began to scream constantly. I couldn’t stand it. and gave it to a friend whose children had long dreamed of a bird.





“Colleagues at work gave me a red-eared turtle. It and a 10-liter microaquarium. I’m an aquarist, and this somehow gave them the idea that I urgently needed a turtle. They were happy, they burst with happiness when they presented the gift. I had to look for another owner, although it was worth it However, then tell your colleagues everything in front of you and not take on the task of giving her a living creature like a piece of bread, spending $3 on a gift and “giving” the future worries of buying a normal aquarium and equipment for at least $500. Thank you.

P.S. I can't stand turtles."



Many people think it’s a good idea to give loved ones a living embodiment of the coming year as a gift. However, Moscow Zoo employees remind you that animals are one of the worst gift options. If the person who received the “living gift” does not know how to care for the animal, the pet is in most cases doomed to death. For example, keeping rabbits seems simple only at first glance. In fact, owners of cute furry animals should know many nuances, as well as the characteristics and character of the animal.

Do you want to give your family a rabbit or a cat? Better choose a figurine or decoration depicting these animals!



Plush Toys

“And once they gave me a large teddy bear (125 cm in height). I was about 20 years old then. Even as a child, I didn’t really understand why these “dust collectors” were needed. But the bear is still with me to this day. I can’t raise my hand to give it up or throw it away. I drag it from corner to corner - it’s very inconvenient.”



Wrong certificate

“My boyfriend is absolutely inattentive. Last year, two months before the holiday, I began to hint to him what I wanted as a gift. Closer to the New Year itself, I pointed my finger: “This dress or this bag.” He nodded and apparently forgot Because when we sat down at the table on New Year’s Day, he handed me a bag with a certificate for the dishes. And he said: “You looked at those plates like that this year...” He won’t give me a certificate for a hardware store because I’ve been looking at tiles in a hypermarket all year.”



iPhone

"A girl once put an iPhone under my Christmas tree. You will say that I got greedy, but it’s not that simple. This is too expensive a gift for me. It’s better to ask about such things in advance. I couldn’t give anything equivalent in return. Secondly, this is her third I've been joking for a year that she's my "daddy".



Soap

“For the New Year 2021, I was given soap in the shape of a calf in a lilac baby onesie))) It’s still there in transparent packaging, well, I can’t wash my hands as a baby.”



“Once they gave me a beautiful box, when I opened it I saw... a cactus. Probably the person thought that it would be my New Year tree, which I haven’t decorated for many years. Then I decided to hang a garland on it and painfully pricked myself on each a needle."



Gingerbread

"Gingerbread, which was immediately eaten by the giver while I went for tea."



Wild mix

“XXL size panties, three large packs of coffee, marshmallows and sun-dried tomatoes. This is such a gift. And don’t ask what the connection is between them.”
