Secret Santas are in full swing at the moment. Of course, as luck would have it, you’re bound to end up with that friend you kinda-sorta-massively hate. It’s a tough one, you love buying gifts but you also begrudge splashing out on anyone you secretly roll your eyes at whenever they open their mouth. Luckily, we’re here to help you out with your indirect shade. Take your sub-tweets to the next level with these hilarious gifts full of double meanings…
Soap and glory box set
Starting out slow with the subtlest passive aggressive gift you can buy someone: bath stuff. This gift can basically masquerade as either 'you smell like shit' or 'here’s something to clean your ugly soul,' whichever suits your hatred best.
We recommend Soap and Glory, because it genuinely smells SO GOOD, and they’ll just think you’re an amazing gift giver. Always get this type of stuff off your nan? Yeah, she probably hates you.
Slogan tee
This could be hilarious. Depending on why they’re your frenemy, the following slogan tees are perfect to imply that secret hatred while giving them a gift that’s actually super IN right now.
Did they get with your boyf once upon a time? It might be too long ago for you to still hold a grudge, but you do anyway because let’s be honest… you’re a psycho (we all are its fine). Here’s the perfect tee to pretend you’re laughing it off while plotting your sweet revenge inside….
Are they a secret bitch but have brainwashed all your friends into liking them? This one can be teamed perfectly with a "I just thought it was SO you!".
Are they constantly going on about themselves? Send them a clear message with this one…
Ready to cut all ties for good? Follow this one up with "I’m gonna be super busy for a while by the way…"
Purse
Can’t be too obvious? Then go cheap. You don’t want to spend more than a tenner on someone that you secretly hate. River Island purses are perfect because they’re super stylish but also relatively inexpensive. It also does basically imply there a cheapskate… we can find passive aggressive messages in anything tbh.
An ugly Christmas jumper
This is our favourite because there’s just NO WAY they can say anything no matter how ugly the jumper is. It’s the gift that keeps on giving because you can continue to ask "how come you never wear that jumper I bought you?" all year round.
Tickets to a SUPER shit comedy club
Does your frenemy have a respective boyfrenemy that you equally hate? Then splash out and buy them tickets to an event you KNOW they’ll hate. Maybe even promise you and your boyfriend have got tickets too so they have to turn up (and then cancel once they’re already there lolol). You basically get to pretend you’re living in F.R.I.E.N.D.S. circa the Vagina Monologues episode.
Impulse Gift Set
You can play this off as a cute reminder of your school days, while silently implying they smell and have the mental capacity of a 12-year-old.
