InstagramDo you feel that? Christmas is in the air.
It's in your kitchen, where you're going through gallons of butter in an attempt to be the next holiday Martha Stewart. It's in your car, where you can't help but tune to the radio station that plays Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas" on a continuous loop. It's in your office, where you hung a super sad wreath and called it "decorating" (what would Martha say?).
But most of all, the Christmas is alive and well because of all the shopping. Try as we might to focus on all the cozy, feel-good aspects of the season, the gift part is pretty darn good. And there's no better reminder of the joy that a present can bring than a celebrity's Instagram. They've been reminding us of our gift-giving inferiority for years now—isn't that what celebs are for?
So while most of us are in the midst of combing through every single gift guide known to man, we thought we'd take a little detour and check out some of the most ridiculous celeb prezzies from year's past. Some of them are incredibly over-the-top, some of them are actually super thoughtful, but they're all special in their own way (just like celebrities!), so we decided to award each gift with an award that could only befit Christmas.
'Tis the season, indeed.
The Most Fashionable: The time Patrick Schwarzenegger gifted Miley Cyrus this pizza-print onesie. Their love may have fizzled, but leisurewear like this lasts forever.
The Most Telling: Exactly one Christmas ago, Justin Bieber received a brand new private plane...and suddenly everything made sense. It's hard to be sure whether this was a gift to himself (you know, for all his good deeds that year), or whether someone took pity on him and decided to lift him out of poverty and misery with a present that can literally fly, but either no one should have been surprised with what came next.
The Most Bitchin': Seriously, this ride! One look at this shiny blue beauty that Iggy Azalea bequeathed Nick Young and we immediately forgive her for all her Twitter transgressions.
The Most Likely to Make Us Want to Switch Bosses: This is a tie between Jennifer Hudson, who gave her assistant a house, and Jillian Michaels, who gave her assistant a car. How about we just work for both of them and get the ride and the pad?
The Most Paris Hilton-y: The time Paris Hilton bought herself a pink Bentley. Because nothing says "I love you, me" like replicating the life of Barbie.
The Most Martha Stewart Gift Not Actually Gifted by Martha Stewart: Step right up and earn your rightful spot as the next craft queen, Lorde! Last year she blessed all her besties with...wait for it...handmade cards. Sure, they were a little late, and sure, they look super handmade, but this is Lorde! She's kind of got other stuff on her plate, okay?
The Most Swiftiest: And yes, before you say anything, that is a word. During Christmas 2014 Taylor Swift's dad decided to bless her with ten lint rollers—not because of concern over the hair from her two cats, but because she "always has glitter all over." Carry on.
The Most Obvious Attempt to Buy Love: Last year, one of Rihanna's friends presented her with an original Jeff Koons sculpture. It's of an inflatable dolphin sitting on a stool, but still very valuable. Might we sense an ulterior motive here? Not that that's a bad thing, of course.
The Most Envy-Inducing: That's right, we're not jealous of the professional basketball player who got the new car or the professional singer who got the plane; we're jealous of the baby who got baby clothes. But darn good baby clothes. True to form, North West celebrated her first Christmas by draping herself in the latest Stella McCartney and Hermès duds, straight from the designers themselves. She's got to teach us her Santa letter-writing skills.
The Most Worth of Oprah's Favorite Things: Don't ever tell Jimmy Fallon that he can't do Christmas right. This is on fire.
