There was some research done on this very topic, and Oberlo has released the list of items you shouldn't buy if you don't want your gift returned.

These are the 3 most commonly returned gift items for 2023 from 3 to 1.

Shoes. It would seem to me that there are so many variables when it comes to shoes, that you'd want to avoid them anyway. And here's another reason. They're the third most returned item.

Bags and accessories. These items also can be a slippery slope because taste in them is such a personal thing. That is why they are the second most returned items.

Clothes. You had to see this one coming from a mile away. There are colors, styles, and sizes that can go wrong, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. That is why clothes are by far the most returned gift item in the past year.
