Christmas Gift Ideas For Your Bestie’s Partner That You Secretly Hate
I’m gonna be honest here: I barely like any of my friends’ significant others. Maybe my standards are way too high, but I think they can all do WAY better.
However, to keep the peace, sometimes you just have to grin and bear it. Or, you could gift them something passive-aggressive for Christmas. If you’re in the unfortunate position of having to spend money on somebody you simply Do Not Like, I’ve got some nifty suggestions below.
Here are the best Christmas gifts for your best friend’s partner that you secretly hate.
A Bag Of Onions, $3.20 from Coles
Starting the list off strong. A perfectly practical gift that elevates food dishes and it’s as cheap as chips onions. You can tell the recipient that you believe they have many layers like in Shrek, convincing them that it’s a heartfelt and metaphorical gift… when really, it’s to make their breath smell bad so your friend dumps them.
The Wishing Lamp bath bomb, $20 from Lush

This one seems random but stick with me. Firstly, it looks kinda fancy so the giftee won’t be instantly offended. Secondly, a soap-based pressie is a great idea because, you know, they STINK. And finally, it’s a wishing lamp… because we all wish they’d disappear.
3L Rubbish Bin, $7 from Kmart
Yes, this one is simply to convey the strong message that your bestie’s significant other should get in the bin along with their entire relationship. If they ask? You’re a fan of Kmart and this item reminded you of them. Leave it at that and watch them drive themselves crazy trying to understand your main motivations.
Personalised Jar of Vegemite, $9.99 from Myer
This novelty gift is quite fun for any Vegemite lovers out there. My tip is to spell the recipient’s name slightly wrong – but close enough so that they’ll buy that it was an honest mistake. If you’re questioned, it was simply an innocent typo! Bonus points if your bestie’s partner hates Vegemite.
Penis and Testicle socks, $18 from Sydney Sock Project
These socks will convey that you believe the recipient is a dick… or a set of hairy balls. The great thing about this gift is that it benefits ANZUP, helping to fund research related to urogenital cancer. You get to subtly take a dig at the giftee while also helping charity. It’s a win-win!
Gift Bag, $9.99 from Myer
If your friend’s SO asks why you gifted them an empty bag, please let them know what it says in the description: “Premium Paper Lovely Silver and White Design Designed in Melbourne, Australia.” Or just pretend that it was supposed to have a gift inside that mysteriously got *lost*.
Fingers Socks, $9.99 from Typo
It’ll bring you great joy to know that whenever your bestie’s SO is wearing these socks, there are a million cartoon hands flipping them off.
