An escape hammer in case of a car accident, gifted to a person who doesn’t have a car; black toilet roll (I didn’t even know that was a thing); a toe-nail clippers set; jaffa cakes (this one’s definitely about perspective); and then there’s the woman who gifts her sisters vibrators each year. These are just a few of the weird, and sometimes not so wonderful, gifts some of our readers have received for Christmas, leaving them scratching their heads in wonder at what on the earth the bestower was thinking.
It seems everyone has a tale of terrible gifts to tell. And we’d love to hear more of yours. What’s the worst, craziest, or most unexpected gift you’ve received? Have you ever gifted someone an unusual present? Or has someone ever reacted badly to a present you gave?
