1. Fruitcake: What a gift to give someone, food in plastic wrap that could double as bricks for the house if the need arose. For whatever reason, these are still sold each year and enough people buy them to add to the profit of the companies that make them.
2. Christmas Boxer: Nothing expresses Christmas spirit like wearing Santa boxers in July. Giving boxers that you can only wear during one season is like providing a delicious drink during one month of the year.
3. Stuffed animals and Santas: Stuffed animals are nice but let's be honest, once the initial warm fuzzy feelings wear off, the stuffed animals and Santas are going to end up in a closet somewhere or in a garage sale where someone else can buy them and start the whole process all over again.
4. Chia Pets: It is like a plant except it looks like hair coming off an animal. The perfect gift for people who like constantly taking care of something someone else gave them.
5. Nut Covered Cheese ball: Mmmm... thanks for the gift of cheese during this holiday season, way to break a fiver.
6. Beanie Babies: Unless you are giving one of the collector items that are worth hundreds of dollars, do not bother with these. They lack the cuteness of stuffed animals and the practicality of beanbags.
7. Pet Rocks: This was a brief fad in the 1970s when someone had a stupid idea and got rich off it. If you don't know this amazing invention, it is a rock that people buy and treat like a pet. It is sad really when people buy rocks from the store when there are so many stray rocks out in our world.
8. The Clapper: This is the best gift for someone who lacks the motivation to walk ten feet to turn off a light. Instead, you can just clap and presto, lights are off. Nothing says 'I think you are lazy' like this gift.
9. Ginsu knives: They slice, they dice, they cut through cans. If you know someone who has the need to cut cans in half, maybe you should look at getting them counseling rather than knives.
10. Big Mouth Billy Bass: This is the exact kind of gift that everyone loves for ten minutes but by the end of the night, everyone is ready to smash it to little pieces and send it back to hell.
Looking for unique ideas and gifts for the holiday season for your whole family? If you're like me, your favorite accessory probably has fur, four legs and a tail. I adore my constant companion and she definitely gets treated like royalty. When shopping for the holidays, I get the most excited shopping for my dog. I know she likes the bones and treats, but this year I couldn't resist trying a few new gifts on for size.

Festive holiday dog apparel is just one of the seasons hottest trends in fashion must haves. From dog dresses, dog sweaters and hoodies to t-shirts, pajamas and pretty dog collars for Fluffy, fashion is no longer just for the upright type.
Sure some people think this kind of behavior is frivolous and frown upon dressing up you pet like a little princess or donning your stout bulldog in a tough and gruff hoodie, but who cares what they think? There's always the people that judge and critique and forget that life is meant to have a little fun. Some people express concerns about whether or not pets like being dressed up or not, who knows? Until we can speak the same language as the animal kingdom, we'll never really know for sure if Batty likes posing and wearing Chanel, but one thing is certain is that a pet adored and paid attention to, is far happier than one neglected and abused. So what's the harm in pampering our four legged friends?
Dressing up the pups has been around for ages, but it’s only been in recent years that it has grown in popularity. From celebrities carrying their precious chihuahuas, to people like William Wegman who makes a living by playing dress up with his weimaraners and taking funny, beautiful and unique photographs of his four legged models. Jessica Simpson, Nicole Richie, Paris Hilton, we’ve seen all the celebrities dress their pets to the nines and holiday apparel is no exception.
