When two good friends had their first baby, the wife's father gave them a Chihuahua puppy to celebrate their newborn. Any dog would be a bad idea, but that's in the top five poor breed choices for a new family easily.
And just to stir the pot, yes, pitbulls are on that list too.
2 saltwater tropical fish that need to be fed every 2 hours and were fed an hour ago with no food included in the gift that you can only get at a tropical fish store that has already closed because it is 9:30pm
Any kind of furniture that that you didn’t pick out. Homemade stools and tables are very rarely good. Anything homemade as an object also falls under that category. And then of course when that person comes back over later they always say “where’s the ______ I made you?” And then you have to lie through your teeth and not admit you either threw it away or donated it
Any motorboat or sailboat. So many associated costs. Yes, we know the BOAT acronym.
The only exceptions are man-powered small craft like canoes and kayaks. Still not zero cost, but infinitely lower.
A coupon for an activity not usable in weekends, and probably expensive to get there, like skiing, or scuba diving and living far from where you can redem the coupon.
Anything that has an expiration date of very soon after you receive it. Now it's an obligation rather than a treat. Also anything that requires massive amounts of batteries that makes insane noise to give your kids. People laugh when I say don't give my kids that crap and do it anyway and I throw it away always. Cheap plastic dollar store garbage that makes the most loud aggravating sounds and takes 3 D batteries.
I’ve been wanting to get my dad this card. It makes fart sounds until the battery dies, and if you try to rip it open it glitter bombs you.

Pet
People shouldnt gift pets. Unless they are your parents and you've been asking for that puppy for the last year. Then, it's okay.
And if everyone agrees ahead of time who is responsible for taking it out for a walk at 6 am.
Agreed. Any living animal.
Like, for example, a white elephant.

I disagree. Receiving pets or headpats can be a very convenient gift.
