Why Do People Hate Christmas? These Crappy Vintage Christmas Gifts Were Worse Than a Lump of Coal

Gift buying is an art form, and not everyone has the knack for it. But do you think the gifts you get now, in the 21st century, are crap? Because it could be so much worse. Let us take you back to the 1960s, ’70s and ’80s.

Because the terrible vintage Christmas gifts your about to see will show you once and for all that thing were not better in the old days.

The old days were even cheaper and crappier than they are now…

There’s something sweetly nostalgic about gimmicky gift items, but who out there really wants to be repping Burger King? This is basically like giving someone the free toy that came with your kids meal, only you had to pay a little bit more for it.

Teen Talk Barbie

For that special young, impressionable family member, Teen Talk Barbie was a 1992 iteration of the classic Mattel doll that actually talked.

Only instead of saying fun and interesting things, she liked to relay messages like, “Math class is tough.” Because if there’s one thing kids need to know, it’s that using your brain is hard.

Stoneware TV Dinner Tray

Shopping for someone you know spends 90% of their time in front of a TV, and whose cooking skills are limited to pressing buttons on a microwave?

The Stoneware TV Dinner Tray is the perfect way to let someone know how much of a loser you really think they are.
