As the holiday season approaches, it can be difficult to know exactly what to buy the women in your life. Whether you're shopping for an office Secret Santa, a significant other, or your mother, there are certain gifts that scream insulting and rude. Last year, a gifting expert in Texas revealed the 'three items you shouldn't gift women,' which were household cleaning supplies, scales and anti-aging skincare products.

Content creator Leah, who makes videos as Leah's Gift Guide, previously posted a TikTok explaining why 'these items can be seen as offensive or send the wrong message.'. Many commenters agreed with her, with one writing, 'If you don't know whether they'd like it, just don't buy it. Better to be safe than paying for a divorce right after Christmas.'.
