7 Things You Should Absolutely Not Buy for Your S.O. This Holiday Season

There are a lot of resources out there right now telling you what to buy your significant other for the holidays. And the good news is that the internet can be a truly incredible place, full of opportunities for creative gifting and cool presents that will have your special someone singing your praises for months to come. Whether you’re in search of the perfect budget-friendly stocking stuffer for your S.O. or a gift that’s a tad fancier for the techie you love, you can pretty much bet we’ve got your back with our handy holiday gift guides.

But who’s out there raising the red flags on what not to buy? Who’s making sure you’re checking yourself before you hit “purchase” on something that seems really cool to you, but might send the totally wrong message? Who’s protecting you from the pitfalls?

Well, we’re doing that too. Keep scrolling for seven types of gifts that could quite possibly be the worst things for you to give your significant other this holiday season. Consider yourself warned.

1. Anything That Feels Inappropriately Extravagant: Are you in a new-ish relationship? We’re talkin’ to you! We know you want to do something super nice for your first holiday with bae, but going over the top with a big or expensive gift is just not the way to do it. Focus instead on something that feels thoughtful, simple, and sweet. eHarmony‘s Chief of Advice Jeannie Assimos recommends whipping up a batch of homemade baked goods or making a donation in your S.O.’s name to an organization that’s meaningful to them.

2. A Pet: (Cue groans and sighs of disappointment all over the world.) Sorry. We know it’s pretty magical to imagine a fluffy kitten or floppy puppy jumping directly out of a box and into your significant other’s lap on Christmas morning, but gifting a pet is just not the smartest move. “Everybody loves cute animals, and receiving a puppy under the tree sounds so romantic,” says Jonathan Bennett of The Popular Man. “However, animals are ultimately a big investment, and getting one should be a carefully thought-out decision made by the future owner — not a surprise gift.”

3. Anything That Seems Like It’s Meant to Help Them Complete a Chore: While many people love a practical gift, it’s important to toe the line between “practical” and “Hey, when are you going to clean the garage?” Lifestyle blogger McKinzie Pack wants you to toe that line extra carefully when shopping for your special someone this holiday season. “It’s one thing to give your car enthusiast husband a detailing kit,” she says. “It’s another to give your wife a broom and dustpan set.” Oh no, you didn’t!

4. A Gift Card: Three Matches relationship expert Margaux Cassuto calls impersonal gifts like cash or a gift card a big no-no. “It shows a lack of thought and attention and defeats the very purpose of a gift,” she says. Take the time to figure out what your S.O. would actually buy if you gave them a gift card — then go buy it!

5. Anything Related to One of Your Passions or Interests: It’s one thing to encourage your significant other to test out one of your favorite hobbies with you, but don’t make that the theme of their holiday gift! If bae’s never been golfing before, they shouldn’t be on the receiving end of a new set of golf clubs this year, no matter how much you love the sport. If this sounds like you, Candice Baehr — founder and CEO of gifting company Dashing in the City — recommends that you gift your S.O. with an experience that he or she can enjoy while you’re out golfing (or doing whatever else you love to do). Go for something that will be more their speed, like a trip to the spa or tickets to a show.

6. Anything That Might Feel Mean-Spirited, Even If It’s Given With the Best Intentions: These kinds of gifts are just a recipe for an awkward holiday. Need examples? TopCashback.com consumer affairs expert Natasha Rachel Smith lists diet-related items and self-help books in this category. Stay far, far away!

7. Household Appliances: If you’ve ever seen Father of the Bride — and if you haven’t, you’d better get on that ASAP — you know how this can end (“I thought something for the apartment… maybe a new clock or a cool phone or a great art book or something… but a blender? I mean, what is this? 1958? Give the little wife a blender?”). Justin Lavelle, chief communications officer for BeenVerified, drives this point home, with a few exceptions. “If he or she specifically asks for an item… then by all means, go ahead,” he says. “This may [also] not apply if you are buying for someone who is a hobbyist. They may very much appreciate and look forward to getting a toolbox or the latest cooking gadget for the holidays.”

New year, new relationship status. At least, that seems to be the rule for our favorite celebrities. While J.Lo and Ben Affleck settled their divorce and Austin Butler and Kaia Gerber split, it looks like Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson might have gotten married! They've been one of our favorite celebrity couples since they started dating in 2018 — and even more so when People confirmed their engagement in 2023. Well, according to one DeuxMoi source, it appears that the couple tied the knot over the holidays.

Here's everything we know about those Suki Waterhouse and Robert Pattinson wedding rumors.

Suki Waterhouse & Robert Pattinson rumored to have a "cute and sweet" wedding.

According to the rumor, it appears Rob and Suki entered 2025 as a married couple. "Robert Pattinson and Suki Waterhouse got married at NYE at the Caribbean resort I work at!!!" the source told DeuxMoi (via Daily Mail). "They were so cute and sweet, their baby was there in a gorgeous little bridesmaids dress."

"Their family was there as well," and the couple proved they're still some of our favorite celebs because they were "so nice" to everyone, according to the source! I didn't doubt it for a moment ;).

Although rumors from InTouch Weekly claim the couple were already married as of June 2024, so we'll have to wait to see if Rob and Suki decide to share with us!

When it comes to their family, Suki Waterhouse recently shared that Robert Pattinson is "the [best] dad I could have hoped for...It’s an actual love story."

"[Having a baby] makes you feel very old and very young," Rob said during Paris Fashion Week. "She's so cute...You know, I'm amazed by how quickly their personality comes. So even at three months, I'm like, 'Oh…I can kinda see who she is already.'"

Suki Waterhouse & Robert Pattinson aren't the only ones with marriage on their minds.

Suki Waterhouse & Robert Pattinson's marriage rumors come after Tom Holland and Zendaya's engagement — and rumors that Rob could wind up in their wedding!

“As Tom and Zendaya move closer to having a wedding next year, basically living like a husband and wife already, and continuing to book multiple film projects together, Rob is cheering them on,” a source tells Life & Style. "If things keep going in this direction, Rob is going to figure into their wedding as a best man or groomsman and he absolutely wants the new, little families they are starting to be close going forward."

Consider us the leaders of the Suki Waterhouse & Robert Pattinson fan club! For more celeb love stories, check out why Tom Holland Says Working With Zendaya Is The "Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me."
