The gift needs to be able to come off as a genuine gift so there’s some plausible deniability…

Edit: Just so it’s clear, this is purely hypothetical. I just thought of the idea and thought it would be funny to see what a random person on Lemmy might think. This isn’t a serious request and none of the suggestions will ever actually be used.

Most folks have at least 1 commonplace food item that they can’t stand. This time of year food gift baskets are everywhere and often specialized to certain tastes. So you get them something that looks like a nice goodie basket but then most things in it are tainted by a thing they don’t like.

For me it would be licorice / anise.

The taint is right next to the anise.

I haven’t tried anise but licorice is really good. Especially salted licorice!
