STRETCH mark cream, hair salon vouchers for baldy and a book on the star sign Leo given to the Virgo – these were among the hilarious, cringeworthy and weird gifts given people surveyed by highstreetvouchers.com.
The company, which has gift cards and vouchers for top shops so you don’t have to buy naff presents, carried out a poll which revealed the worst gifts people have been given for Christmas.
Kent respondent Wendy said her worst gift was: “A pair of earrings that had been previously worn – they weren’t on a card or in a box but were wrapped in toilet roll.”
The top 10 worst gifts
1. Jumpers
2. Irons
3. Perfume
4. Saucepans
5. Slippers
6. Diet books/memberships
7. Socks
8. Chocolates
9. Clothes in the wrong size
10. Granny knickers
What people do with their unwanted gifts
1. Shove it in a drawer/cupboard
2. Use it/wear it
3. Donate it to charity
4. Bin it
5. Take it back to the shop and exchange it for something else
6. Throw it back in the person’s face
