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.
Genius.
Does anyone know who gets the tax receipt?
It’s a gift so of course you let them have the tax receipt. That way sometime next year they’ll end up getting 17% back of that as a refund on the taxes they had already paid.
That’s why I donate to The Human Fund with its motto “Money for People”.
How old are they? As that will completely change what presents fit your criteria.
Glittery slime for their child. It’s the cruelest thing you can buy someone and probably costs closer to $10.
Why be a dick?
Pennies. Individually wrapped.
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
What kind of a “friend” are you to ask this question??
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.
“This is fine.”

superglue the money to birthday card
Convert it all to pennies and give it to your friend that way.
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 friend of mine once gifted me some lottery tickets and one fake one. fake one said I had won like 30K but when you read the back to see how to collect there were things like redeemable at yo mamas house etc.
that was probably 20-25 years ago, I still can’t fully forgive him.
A glitter bomb?
5x $20 lottery tickets. Most lottery tickets have a 1:3 - 1:5 win rate, so if you’re lucky enough he might win literally nothing. Nothing else on this list gives the friend hope. Hope unfulfilled is the definition of cruelty.
I’d go one further. Scratch off the verification code of each of the lottery tickets scan it. And remove any winning tickets. You don’t have to hide this. We’re trying to give a crappy gift so if they look and see that you’ve already scratched them. Your gift then becomes here’s $100 of losing lottery tickets. It’s beautiful
This is dumb because even if there are winners in the pile, now you can’t even cash them in yourself because the codes been scratched. So the joke will be on you when it turns out one was actually worth a million
He was going to spend $100 on a gift without getting anything in return in the first place, whether the gift was lotto tickets or 1000 pairs of used socks. Also, many (most?) states don’t have prohibitions on revealing the validation code, and unless you have some information not presented in this post, you don’t know what state OP is in.
