You might as well face it, the world is full of jerks. Sometimes you are faced with having a jerk in the family or at work. While you might not feel like spending money on jerks, to leave them out would be too noticeable. Your next instinct is probably to buy them something really cheap or awful. That's not really a good idea either, because other people will notice, and that would be a bad reflection on you. So what do you do? There's an old saying that is perfect for this occasion, "Kill them with kindness."
If your jerk is married, pick out something that will benefit both of them. There are a lot of things you can choose from. You could get them something for the home, like a candle, a candy dish, or fruit bowl. There are also a lot of gift sets you can buy with different foods. You can find everything from cheese to hot cocoa. Movies are also a good option. If you don't know what kind of movies they might like, just pick out one that you like, then you know you did your best.
For a jerk with young children, a child friendly movie and a box of microwave popcorn might work nicely. If the children are older, you might opt for a familyboard game.
Maybe your jerk is single, but has a cute dog or cat. There are a lot of nice gifts for pets. You might buy a dog some nice toys or a sweater. A cat loves to play with toys, especially toys with catnip inside. There are usually some nice gift sets for pets around the holidays. You can even find gifts for other kinds of pets at your local pet store.
A potted cactus makes a nice gift. It requires hardly any care at all, unlike most other plants. This a way to express your feelings about the person without anyone being the wiser or making you look bad.
Probably one of the best gifts you can give anyone for Christmas this year is to donate to charity in the recipients name. There are a lot of great charities on-line to choose from, and you can choose how much you want to donate. Your gift is also tax deductible. You can donate to a fund for children, in this country, or anywhere else around the world. There are gifts that purchase animals for families in other countries, to help them provide for themselves. You can donate to various different animal funds. There are even donation cards you can buy that allow them to choose what charity the money will go to.
These are just a few ideas of ways to buy a Christmas gift for the jerk in your life. Remember, just because he or she is a jerk, doesn't mean you have to be one.
