Gifts for People Who Hate Christmas

Joel Dear gifts & gadgets

Yesterday marked 15 years since the release of The Grinch movie; feel old yet? This adaptation of Dr. Suess' classic tale, tells the story of a grumpy, green guy who decides to ruin Chritmas for everyone, but learns the error of his ways when he is given a taste of human kindness.

Seeing as we all know someone who isn't as keen on the Christmas cheer that surrounds us at this time of year, we thought we would give you a gift guide that might help you put a smile on their faces.

Full Wine Bottle Glass

For people who love Christmas, the season of joy and good will can’t come quick enough, but always seems to whiz by too soon. For people who aren't so keen it seems to drag by, leaving them to sulk in the corner only to appear every so often to ask in earnest; ‘Is it over yet?’ Thanks to this genius full bottle glass, the Scrooge in your life can drown their sorrows without having to share their plonk with any merry souls…

Gnome Range

These hilarious gnomes make perfect gifts for your rude, crude and cynical friends and family. Taking innocent, jolly garden gnomes and transforming them into twisted parodies, these ornaments are certainly not for the easily offended.

T**t Mug

Whether this statement is imposed or self-proclaimed, it certainly makes a fitting gift for all the miserable gits you know.

Buy here.

Poo Emoji Pillow

Have you ever asked a person who is anti-Christmas what they would like for Christmas? Have they then responded with any of the following statements: ‘I don’t want s**t all!’, ‘Christmas is Bulls**t’ ‘I don’t know, any old crap’ and so on… Well now you have the perfect response, in the form of this Happy Poo emoji pillow. Subtly suggest that they cheer up, while also fulfilling their request in a creative way.

Petron Stealth Archery Set

Some people hate Christmas so much, it makes them want to wipe the smiles off the faces of all those happy, Christmas-loving idiots. Now these people can take out all of their frustrations without causing any serious harm, with this Petron Archery Set. Perfect for: silencing carol singers, target practice with pictures of Santa Claus.

There you have it, our not-so-cheerful Christmas gift guide. If you're looking for some offensive, funny, alternative Christmas cards, check out these.
