Receiving one of these as a gift must be one of the saddest experiences known to man...

I'd rather just get the generic men's gift starter pack of Lynx/Axe deodorant, socks, and a DVD of [insert movie that was popular a few months ago]

DVD, not even Blu-ray? Damn

Depends. It can be a good joke gift in your early twenties between men, but on any other occasions it can get pretty depressing.

wdym those latter gifts are rad as hell

High-quality socks are a great gift, but these socks usually aren't that

I don't know which is sadder to receive, this gift card or a gym membership.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 5 months ago (2 children)

Some people actually enjoy fitness so i am sure they could appreciate it.

I am not one of them, they are alien to me but they do exist.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 months ago

True, although they would probably already have a gym membership. I was thinking more about how some people will give a gym membership as a gift to basically send the message that the recipient is fat.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 months ago

Yes but these people cheat by being fit in the gym from the start. That's not how it's supposed to work, he completely ruins the montage.
