If the ridiculously-early start to the holiday season is making you panic . . . we can't tell you what to buy.  But we CAN tell you what NOT to buy.

 -In a new survey, women ranked the worst gifts that men buy . . . and men ranked the worst gifts that women buy.

 -And clearly people need these lists.  Because the study found more than HALF of women and about one in five men say they've opened a present from their significant other, and wondered what the hell they were thinking.

 --The survey also found about one in six couples have gotten into a MASSIVE FIGHT over a present . . . and one in 20 have actually BROKEN UP over a bad present.  So here's what NOT to buy . . .

 The Ten Gifts Men Should Never Buy For Women:

 #1.)  Underwear.

 #2.)  Toiletries and cosmetics.

 #3.)  Perfume, because men never quite pick the right scent.

 #4.)  Kitchen utensils.

 #5.)  Cheap jewelry.

 #6.)  Chocolates.

 #7.)  Shoes or slippers.

 #8.)  A vacuum cleaner.

#9.)  Flowers.

 #10.)  Exercise clothes, a workout DVD, or anything else that suggests she NEEDS to work out.

 --A few other things that just missed the top 10 are ADULT TOYS, anti-aging products, and luggage.
