We’re all for self-love here at Scary Mommy, but there’s a difference between that and vanity. This gift is hilariously passive aggressive for the cousin, sister-in-law, or any vain person in your life that you have to buy something for.And you know what, they’ll probably love it.

This gift idea is dedicated to all the slobs we can’t call out. Marie Kondō, however, can do the calling out for us. If you encourage them to watch her Netflix show too, we may be on the verge of a breakthrough

Disguise your disgust by their terrible breath with these *actually* really adorable (and top-rated) bamboo toothbrushes from Nuduko. But if you really don’t like the giftee, feel free to gift them with a pack of Colgate toothbrushes instead—we approve of both.

For all the mamas forced to give gifts to assholes: here you go! The giftee will see a cute baby donkey on a mug and think, “Aw, that’s weird, but useful. Thanks.” But we’ll see an ass mug…because they’re an ass. Enjoy the little things! They’ll never know.

No one likes a Negative Nancy. In fact, those are the people we don’t like most. Gift this self-help book, which is actually a great read! Maybe they’ll learn a thing or two about positive thinking.

For the annoying neighbor or mother-in-law that always complains about your noise level (whether it’s the kids, music, or you just trying to live your life)—this gift will let them know you aren’t changing a damn thing, but will make an effort in helping them adjust. Go mama!

We all know someone who LOVES to talk. They’ll take 20 minutes to answer a yes or no question every. Single. Time. This mug will be seen as hilarious, but hopefully they’ll get the hint that comes along with it. Fingers crossed!

Gift-shopping for someone who is in major need of a wake up call is the perfect time to gift Robin DiAngelo’s best seller White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism. Books seem to be a theme in this gift list, but if they won’t listen to you, maybe they’ll listen to the experts.

What do you get the mean person with no sense of humor? I think this t-shirt will suffice. Will they wear it? probably not. Will they laugh at it? …probably not. But you’ll have a grand time seeing the look on their face when they open this gag gift.
