The modern copout of buying someone random online tat as a present is annoying. I would rather you just don't bother getting me a birthday/christmas present than showering me with cheap, nasty plastic shite.

@anon_opin But simply attempting to have this conversation with the buyer seems to generally lead to little more than resentment and more tat.

I read it as buying someone random online *a* tat as a present, like here honey, I had this German bloke tattoo some flowers and your name on his lower back, happy anniversary!

@lykrast @anon_opin in this context it means cheap garbage plastic crap I'd imagine.

Useless but usually decorative or novelty items
