I strongly dislike this man, but since he is crashing our Christmas, I would look rude not getting him something, and I don't want to hurt my mom's feelings. Something subtley insulting would be awesome.

Get one of those cheese and sausage gift set things... but get the worst one you can find. That way, your mom will see it as "aww, the nice food giftset thing", but he'll see it as "nasty sh!t i will not be eating" - remember to get the grossest one.
OR... you could just tell your mom that you really dont know what to get him since yall arent very close. Hopefully she'd listen to you, and maybe sign your name onto one of her gifts for him. And you buy him nothing.

You call this guy a self centered jerk....I vote you buy him a mirror. You can get a really nice, ornamental framed mirror at K-Mart or Wal-Mart for very little money, and he can spend his Christmas looking at that which matters most in his world. Himself. :-) It's subtlely insulting. But it's blatant enough that he should get the insult without you having to explain it to him. Oh yeah, and don't forget the old $25 stand by, the toiletry set from Brut, with soap on a rope and deodorant, to help remove the offensive smell when he's in the room. That's how you say "Take a bath you stinking bum!", wihtout actually saying it. But the mirror? The mirror is a classic gift for someone self absorbed.

Um, I suggest to only get the mother a gift. You could give the brother a gift if he's under 11 years. If you gave the dad a present, it would be awkward. What im sayin is: Get the mom a basket of things she might need, such as cookie packets, jewelry, a card. Giftcards! A movie the family could watch. Suggest PG 13 Etc.

I would get him something he could truly use and a self-help book seems to be something that comes to mind. so yes, I would agree with those others who recommended it.
Also, anything impersonal or generic. It might not insult him unless he's been in the picture long enough for you to know anything about him and his likes/dislikes and interests. Aftershave or a cheesy tie might work! Just pretend you like the tie and dont' see why anyone wouldn't! Or get socks and tee-shirts! Typical no-brainer gifts for men when you couldn't care to bother.

Here is the perfect copout without you having to waste time looking for a present for this jerk weed. A gift card. This way you dont have to put any thought into it at all. You get it over and done with ASAP like ripping off a band aid. That's what i get for people i'm not too fond of. PLUS nothing says........merry christmas you weren't worth my time to waste looking fo ran actual present here's a gift card cause i'm too damn lazy to give a care about what you think

We have a similar situation, and every year we give the person food...usually bacon, cookies, beer of the month...something that they think is very useful and delicious but is subtly saying, "eventually all of this bad food will build up and lead you to a bad end." It's sort of funny. We all smile when this person opens food item after food item. Ah, the spirit of the season.

For $3 you can "give a Gnome a hug" and put the message on the Hidden Urban Gnome Reserve & Refuge. Send the "hug" to whichever Gnome looks most like him, and make the message say whatever you want, really. The message will stay on the website for as long as it exists. Maybe he'll like seeing his name on the internet, but not really like it.

Get him a pink or salmon golf (polo) shirt :) Some men are very confortable wearing pink. If he's a jerk like you say, I'll bet he's not confortable with it. Another Idea: Get him a sweater with a deer on it and a ball cap with antlers on it. They sell these. Hope these ideas help.

Something that looks and is CHEAP! It will get the point across that you could give a crap about him. It says"I had to get you something - but I wasn't about to put an ounce of thought into it.
