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.

[–] Pons_Aelius@kbin.social 18 points 1 year ago

How old are they? As that will completely change what presents fit your criteria.

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pennies. Individually wrapped.

[–] bionicjoey@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 year ago

Funny story, my uncle did something similar once as a gag gift for me and my siblings. He gave us each a wad of industrial shrink wrap (the kind used to wrap heavy machinery like boats for storage) with like $100 in coins inside. He had actually heat-gunned it to stick it all together. We had to spend the next day pulling it apart to get all the loonies and toonies out

Glittery slime for their child. It's the cruelest thing you can buy someone and probably costs closer to $10.

Live insects. A quick amazon search indicates that you could buy 2,000 live crickets or 27,000 live ladybugs.

I start jumping off walls if I see a single roach. If I got a thousand roaches flying in my face I'd surely burn myself alive.

What kind of a “friend” are you to ask this question??

[–] NotSpez@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

A glitterbomb and a donation to something they really don’t like. A stripper of the gender they’re not interested in. If they’re italian, throw in a square-shaped pineapple pizza, too.

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.

A glitter bomb?

[–] Chickenstalker@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

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.

[–] SuddenlyNope@lemmy.one 2 points 1 year ago

There was a company once specilized in delivering boxes full of the shit (meaning feces) of your choice to your chosen special person, it was called something like "shitexpress"

[–] TheInsane42@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

A picture of the money.

Assuming you are just a horrible person: Buy them gympie gympie leaves, toss them in a gift bag, and don't tell them what they are but that their present is in the leaves.

The present is incredible pain btw.

a case of Jeppson's Malört

[–] chairman@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

A dildo. So that he/she can go f**k himself/herself.

[–] CookieJarObserver@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

A pile of shit... (literally)

What if they're a gardener?

[–] jimmydoreisalefty@lemmus.org 1 points 1 year ago

A picture of yourself or a mirror?

[–] kworpy@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

What did they do to you??

[–] Susaga@sh.itjust.works 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

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.

A video of Danny Devito burning that money would be even better
