Top 8 worst Christmas gifts

ONE of the greatest joys of Christmas is the anticipation before ripping open a gift.
But that joy can be quickly dashed when you open the present and what inside is — well, I won't sugar-coat this — absolute crap.
Call us Grinches, but we can do better Australia.
Customer satisfaction research company Canstar Blue surveyed more than 3000 Aussies to find out what were the worst gifts they had received at Christmas time. Needless to say, if any of these gift ideas are on your Christmas lists for others, you'd better think again.
So what is the worst gift to give someone this Christmas?
According to the survey, that would be cheap jewellery. Twenty-eight per cent of respondents identified the tacky stocking stuffer as the worst gift they had received.

The second-most loathed present is toiletries, such as deodorant, body spray and perfume, according to 25 per cent of those surveyed.
Coming in third is the old-faithful gift for dads across the country, socks and underwear, which 20 per cent said they hated to receive.
Other yuletide no-nos include:
● Clothes: 14 per cent
● Food and chocolates: 12 per cent
● Household appliances, such as vacuum cleaners, toasters or blenders: 9 per cent
● Gift cards and vouchers: 6 per cent
● Flowers: 6 per cent.

Besides these disappointing gifts, the survey also threw up some hilarious left-of-field responses. Items people identified as the worst gifts they'd ever received included washing powder, a toilet brush, stationery, soap on a rope, sex toys, second-hand shoes, a shovel, clothes pegs, a laundry bag, a barometer, an axe and a tube of toothpaste.
The survey revealed that most of us feel pressured to spend a certain amount on gifts and that about half of us tend to leave buying gifts to the last minute.
One in 10 admitted to buying a last-minute gift from a service station.
Most of us, about 30 per cent, spent $50-100 on our loved ones at Christmas.
