[Fluff time] Is a lousy Christmas gift with a possible use would be as worse as a lousy one with no plausible use?

There is always those gifts some think are lousy gifts for the opposite sex, etc. such as fishing poles for women or bath sets for men. If a gift is seen as lousy to the reviver of it, if it has some plausible use or advantage is it at least a little better than a gift seen as lousy without any advantages or plausible benefit in the future? For instance, if a woman gets a kayak for Christmas and she is not the outdoor type, if she also got an electric screwdriver with multiple drivers but she is not a DIY type of person, would both gifts be lousy for her, or would the electric screwdriver eventually provide more benefit than the kayak, or because she was not incline towards either gift, any benefits aside, they were both equally lousy?
