As per title, what’s the best worst present I could buy for under 100 dollars?
Donate the money to a charity in their name.
Like an honest Good Charity whose cause they believe in.
That way, you’ll have done a nice thing in their name but they’ll be a piece of shit for feeling bad about it when they find out what you did instead of giving them the money directly.
Genius.
Does anyone know who gets the tax receipt?
It’s a gift so of course you let them have the tax receipt. That way sometime next year they’ll end up getting 17% back of that as a refund on the taxes they had already paid.
That’s why I donate to The Human Fund with its motto “Money for People”.
Glittery slime for their child. It’s the cruelest thing you can buy someone and probably costs closer to $10.
How old are they? As that will completely change what presents fit your criteria.
Pennies. Individually wrapped.
Live insects. A quick amazon search indicates that you could buy 2,000 live crickets or 27,000 live ladybugs.
superglue the money to birthday card
Convert it all to pennies and give it to your friend that way.
A glitter bomb?
a video of you burning that money
A video of Danny Devito burning that money would be even better
A picture of the money.
A goldfish. Just the fish. Ask them to name it on the spot so they have to keep it. Now they need to rearrange their home to make space, and buy a tank and such for it.
Plus, it’s cheap, so not much of a refund going on if they decide to just give it back.
5x $20 lottery tickets. Most lottery tickets have a 1:3 - 1:5 win rate, so if you’re lucky enough he might win literally nothing. Nothing else on this list gives the friend hope. Hope unfulfilled is the definition of cruelty.
If the friend is Chinese or East Asian, buy a black picture frame with a black and white picture of them already mounted. Or buy them a set of knives. Or give them money in a white envelope.
Knifes are actually kinda good…
Could buy a bunch of cheap gas station knives then put sand in the pivots. Ideal loosing them up first then tighting them after. Maybe wash them to remove oils and let them rust some.
That might be over board. Especially if the dude is a knife guy. Not sure if messing up a new $100 knife would be worse though.
Deodorant
An office chair. For that price it will be terrible and too big to do anything with it besides gifting it or throwing it out.
