If you’re sick of having the “Yes, all lives matter, but right now..” conversation, this bumper sticker is sure to shut your racist relative up. If you don’t think they’ll put the sticker to good use, feel free to just stick it on their Buick Regal for them.

8. Golden Girls Fuck Donald Trump Magnet, $4.50

This present speaks for itself, but it’ll go over even better if your racist grandmother has to ask who RuPaul is. Explain with caution… or not.

11. Just be Nice Face Mask, $18

Let me guess, your favorite racist relative also has a tendency to get unnecessarily mad at the minimum wage worker at Newport Creamery? Well, this “Just Be Nice” face mask will not only remind them that waiters are people too, but it’s also a pretty great segue into why the president should not have instructed civilians to inject themselves with bleach.

12. How to Be An Anti-Racist, $27

If your more subtle gift choices haven’t been getting through to your racist grandmother, it might be time to just give it to her straight. Tough conversations like these need to happen, even if it makes family reunions a little more awkward.
