Texas-based content creator Leah, who goes by The Gift Girl online, posted a TikTok about “three items you shouldn't gift to women.”
She believes it's best to avoid household cleaners, scales and anti-aging skincare products when making your Christmas shopping list.
Leah claims that 'these items may be seen as offensive or send the wrong message' to the recipient.
Texas-based content creator Leah, who goes by The Gift Girl online, posted a TikTok about “three items you shouldn't gift to women.”
In the clip, Leah fittingly declared 'let's unpack it' – before revealing the items to avoid.
The first on her list of no-go's was 'hcleaning supplies of any kind.”
She believes that if a gift “can be perceived as a chore,” it “definitely sends the wrong message.”
Leah proudly proclaimed that “gifts should be happy.”
Next on her list was a scale, as she also stated that “supplements, weight loss or weight gain are a big no.”
Her argument is that it is 'ccould simply be taken as downright insulting.”
She continued, “And I know what you're thinking. Who does this? aaccording to the comments in my other videos, a lot more than you think.'
Her latest item to hit grocery store shelves this holiday season is an anti-aging skin care product.
Leah believes that when making your Christmas shopping list it is best to avoid household cleaners, scales and anti-aging skin care products.
“Don't get me wrong, I love a good skincare regiment and I think there's a place for that, but anti-aging specifically sends the wrong message,” she stated.
Leah concluded her video by admitting that all of her no-go items “could definitely be considered a great gift,” but she added, clearly, only “if asked.”
The expert believes that donating one of these items would mean knowing someone 'well enough' and trusting that he/she would 'really like' these items.
And when it comes to finding the perfect gift, Leah insisted that one shouldn't “just guess.”
Leah's video has received more than 73,400 views, 4,045 likes and dozens of mixed comments to date.
Some commenters backed her stance, with one writing: “I think if you don't know if they like it, just don't buy it. Better to be safe than to have to pay for a divorce right after Christmas.”

Another commenter added: 'Yes, I thought you were going to say kitchen appliances and things like nice vacuum cleaners. But this was on a completely different level.'
“Skin care in general can be bad for a skin care junkie because they are probably picky,” a third person wrote.
A fourth user wrote about their personal experience, adding: 'My in-laws gave me a scale when I was six weeks postpartum with my first baby. Downright insulting is right.”
Leah responded to the comment, writing, “Oh my god. I'm so SO sorry!!!'
But other users were fans of functional gift ideas.
One person wrote: 'I just gave a friend anti-aging skincare for her birthday. She was ecstatic. Disagree on cleaning supplies. Money is tight for everyone.”
Another commenter added: 'Okay but my grandma made me a new house basket for Christmas when I moved and I loved it because it had some food, cleaning supplies and little things in it.'

'You are wrong as a mother of four. That stuff gets expensive. I would love to get a lot of cleaning products,” another user wrote.
A fourth person commented, “I love organizing so just give me a Home Goods gift card. Or an Ulta gift card so I can get into a whole new routine.”
Leah replied: 'Loooooooooveeee a whole new routine!!!'
One follower wrote: 'I want a spark plug vacuum cleaner this year. I told my husband and he asked if he could do that,” and Leah replied, “Slayyyy, we love the communication.”
