What's a good way to make someone mad with an awful Christmas gift?

I've never been a fan of going for “awful”, but I'll give you two ideas. One option is to just make a gift that’s not related to the other person, or whatever is a major part of their life. It’s not particularly practical or likely to succeed, but I can see why it might be fun. The other option is a prank gift that someone else will know is a prank. You might even like their reactions, and it might improve the quality of your social life, because your social circle will know to be cautious about how they give you gifts. In the specific case you asked, you could’ve just made a donation in the name of the other person, or otherwise make it clear it wasn’t your gift, and that you didn’t intend to give a gift at all. If you want to have a less negative conversation about your gift, you could also buy something you genuinely enjoy, give it to the other person, and tell them it was a gift from you, rather than a gift from you that you like.
