Britain’s Worst Christmas Presents Revealed
Christmas is almost upon us and that means only one thing – presents! From our first bikes and video games consoles to hand-crafted gifts from loved ones, a special gift can leave a lasting impression. Unfortunately, so can a bad one.
We all have a story about receiving something naff on Christmas Day, so giffgaff money wanted to find the strangest gifts from across the nation. They asked their member community all about the questionable gifts they’d received, and the stories behind them. So, without further ado, here are the worst Christmas gifts ever received:
“A present from my uncle Barry. Genuine kangaroo leather covered with a soft layer of fur. It feels too weird in my hand and I keep finding it in my dog’s bed, so I need to get rid of it. Never used - apart from by the poor kangaroo.”
“A gift from my great aunt Hilda from the year I was born. One corner has been nibbled - the tight old bat obviously needs new glasses. OK condition - probably not safe for consumption but ideal for a chocolate bar collector.”
“I don’t know what’s worse, the fact a family friend gave me a China penis or the fact they gave my mum one too. Suffice to say we don’t need one of these, never mind two. It’s in good condition, has no chips and needs to go.”
“My mother thought these pasta oven gloves that make me look like I’m holding two halves of a garish frilly pillow case would encourage me to cook. She was wrong. Great condition and ideal for a carboholic - or for use as cushion covers.”
“I’ve dreamt of getting a diamond ring since I was a little girl - just not from the cleaner at work. Good condition, but makes me feel uneasy. Perfect for someone who actually wants to marry you. P.S. HR have been informed.”
“A present from my mum as I’ve now gone bald, but apparently I was “quite the hit with the ladies” when I used to have a mullet. Nothing left to clip it onto, so completely unused - would make an ideal gift for someone stuck in the 1980’s.”
“This was a gift from an aunt who I haven’t seen since I was seven. Having this awful hat in my home makes me cringe every day/ Good condition but might hurt your eyes. Great if you want to look like an original member of the Sugababes.”
