It's a special occasion, and you want to celebrate it with someone special, or offer a token of your esteem. Maybe you just want to be nice, or show that you aren't such a bad guy after all. So you search around and finally come up with the perfect gift and... she doesn't like it? She hates it? She's running away? But you had a pet goliath spider when you were a kid - doesn't she know how cuddly they are? Welcome to Don't You Like It?, a subtrope of My New Gift Is Lame where the gift in question is inadvertently horrifying or disgusting because the giver was raised in an environment where this was considered completely appropriate - but this doesn't match up with the standards of the recipient. |

Happens in Dork Tower when Ken Mills gives his girlfriend Sujata a 1,000-point Korn Demon of Kaos High Priest of Pain Blood Champion miniature figure as a token of his affection. Needless to say, she didn't take it well. | |

In The Super Mario Bros. Movie, not only does Bowser's plan to court and marry Princess Peach completely repel her, but his idea of a Grand Romantic Gesture involves conquering other kingdoms and sacrificing prisoners in lava. | |

Inverted in Alien Nation: If you give flowers to the Tenctonese make sure the roots are intact. Dying flowers are unpleasant. In one of the movies, a Purist poisons Emily and Susan with infected flowers, and he's shown buying them at a stand and asking specifically for live flowers as a gift for Newcomers. The cut flowers Matt brought to the hospital were especially inappropriate because of the Tenctonese practice of surrounding a sick person with living things, even animals. |

The SCP Foundation entry SCP-4666 is primarily a Santabomination that murders families and abducts their children during the yuletide season, but 15% of the time, it instead leaves a gift. Said gifts are made from the children it abducts, so unless you're a fan of knives carved from bone or drums made of human skin, you're probably not going to enjoy them much. | |

This is at least part of the story behind the Lone Power's exile in Young Wizards. At the beginning of the universe, It wanted to make something completely new and original and different from the other Powers' creations. However, while the Lone Power may have originally been misguided rather than malevolent, It stubbornly refuses to believe that there's anything wrong with Its "gift" and therefore is not exactly in a hurry to fix the problems It caused. |

Our Miss Brooks: In "Mr. Boynton's Parents", Miss Brooks is dismayed when Walter Denton and Harriet Conklin are representing a student delegation naming her their "Mother away from Mother". To make matters worse, they present her with a shawl as a gift for Mother's Day. In "Mr. Boynton's Mustache", Miss Brooks, Miss Enright, Mr. Boynton, Mr. Conklin and Mr. Stone frantically try to avoid being presented with the Home Economics students' class projects. The girls sewed up a suit and a dress out of an old horse blanket. In "24 Hours", Mrs. Conklin is furious with her husband for gifting her with a pair of expensive andirons for her birthday. |

In Land of the Lustrous, primeval-era doctor Rutile vowed to save Padparadscha and has been trying ceaselessly for centuries to do so. There's a lot of angst, romantic subtext, declarations of devotion, etc involved... until some kid takes Pad's comatose body off-world, without Rutile's knowledge or permission, to a highly advanced civilization where their medical condition can be healed. Rutile is not pleased. | |

Once on SpongeBob SquarePants, Patrick gives SpongeBob a giant ball of chewed gum as a present. SpongeBob was too polite to say anything, even after he, his house, and half the population of Bikini Bottom get tangled up in it. Not to mention Spongebob's sweater that he gave to Squidward ("Do you love it??"), which was a little itchy because it'd been made out of eyelashes. |

In one episode of Sushi Pack, the Pack is chosen to greet a group of delegates From The Planet Citrus, and present them with gifts. However, because they were too busy to read up on Citrusian culture, their gifts of cut flowers, chocolates, and a painting titled "Making Applesauce" don't go over well with the delegates, who are essentially living fruits. | |

In Heart of Steel, Alistair has been virtually alone for the last ten years, but leaps at the chance to make gifts for Julia, with whom he is smitten. Romance and mad science turn out not to mix terribly well, and his initial gifts (her bisected diving companion turned into a cyborg and a pet chimera) horrify and confuse her. | |

Sousuke does this on occasion Kaname in Full Metal Panic!, starting off with an apology gift of his adoptive home country's most treasured export—the raw ingredients for opiumnote that is, a bouquet of poppies. After Kaname tries to slap some sense into him, he realizes that he made a cultural error and apologizes for not remembering that cocaine is significantly more valued than opium in Tokyo. | |
