The Gift That's Two Sizes Too Small

Nothing is more discouraging than receiving a shirt or sweatshirt (or any item of clothing for that matter) that doesn't fit you. Maybe it's that aunt who lives across the country and has a little trouble keeping up with how fast you're growing... so she buys you clothes you probably would've worn two years ago. Maybe it's the penny-pincher of the family, buying you T-shirts that "you'll grow into."



Either way, undersized or oversized outfits are only cool if you intend them to be cool... but these gifts pretty much always are not. Is it really that hard to call someone up and ask them how tall their child is? Or maybe look at some recent pictures?

Clothes that are the perfect color or have a neat design somehow manage not to score the perfect score when they could fit someone half your size.
