What are the worst holiday gifts to give?

Americans say giving wine is a far better way to say 'happy holidays' than dishing out the hard liquor.

In a recent survey, Consumer Reports quantified the common complaints of gift giving. People were asked which gifts they considered "undesirable."

If booze is your go-to gift to give, you might want to think a bit harder about how you decide to say thanks to loved ones.

One in four Americans surveyed said it's the least desirable gift to receive.

Wine however fared better. Only 6% said they wouldn't want to receive a bottle as a gift.

The top ten worst gifts include:

•Spirits (whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy, etc.) -- 25%

•Flowers/plants -- 23%

•Home decor (frames, candles) -- 13%

•Books -- 8%

•Kitchen items -- 7%

•Clothes -- 6%

•Wine -- 6%

•Food -- 5%

•Clothing accessories (socks, scarves, etc.) -- 3%

•Gift cards -- 3%
