Unwanted Gifts Reviews

Okay, okay, okay ... the high spirited, totally irrational, shock of the new, over reaction of the weekend has now finally had time to settle down, and the Dooyoo site seems to be returning to at least some semblance of order and effective working, so I'll tone down some of the bitching and moaning and ranting that came out at the time in my ...  Read the complete review

What things you ask?,well bubble bath and not just one lot usually three or four different ones!, yes i do like bubble bath but the sets always have body or hand cremes in that I NEVER use, so they end up on the bathroom shelf to collect dust. ...  Read the complete review

Christmas is an expensive time, it is stressful and even the grand day itself is full of dangers, you know the ones the top that is too small/big, the wrong type of underwear, an ornament too far in fact the list is endless. I would suggest that you all go out and buy some post it notes (little self adhesive pieces of paper). After ...  Read the complete review

I was reading one of the tabloids at the weekend, which had some startling facts about unwanted presents. Did you know up to 2 million presented given each year or unwanted and that’s a total of 95 million pound. Wow, just imagine what you could spend that kind of money on. Six out often adults have hated at least some of the presents ...  Read the complete review

Un wanted christmas presents are the worst arn't they? what do you do with them, let the clutter your room, bin them but feel really guilty, wear them?????

I used to always get those Novelty Animlas slippers every single Year (and I still had years of wear in the last pair!!!!!!!!!!!) It was usually the well meaning Aunt that bought them. Although I just love getting smellies and whilst other people don't like this as they think it is a hint on their personal hygiene I am ...  Read the complete review

As a successful competition person, I am always awash with runner-up prizes that I do not want and have no use for, it's kind of like unwanted Christmas presents all year round. My solution to this problem is pretty simple. I get rid of them. Don't get me wrong, I don't ever remember throwing anything away, but I tend to be ...  Read the complete review

We all moan each year about unwanted gifts that great aunts etc buy, but why aren't we grateful that someone cares enough about us to get us something. I do it myself,laugh or moan at what someone has either bought me or my kids but really its not fair as someone has put alot of effort into choosing you a gift. My hubby's aunties are the ...  Read the complete review

Reading through the opinions on unwanted gifts, it would seem as though we have a common problem reaching epidemic proportions. All over the land, gaily/gaudily wrapped concoctions, collections and condiments are languishing away, getting in the way, taking up valuable space. And this in a land obsessed with storage solutions because of ...  Read the complete review

This is a tip from my mother, every time she recieves an unwanted gift, she simply wraps it back up and passes it on to someone else! As she says "waste not, want not!" I only discovered this last year. In sheer frustration of not knowing what to buy for her, she ended up with a basket of smellies. She gave an oscar winning ...  Read the complete review

It’s 25th December (Christmas day 2000) you could not sleep the night before because you wanted to know what was under the wrappings that you had tried so hard not open the night before, though you’re an adult and constantly told how much kids love opening presents we can’t help being excited. You open the presents ...  Read the complete review

Well, we've all received them haven't we? And sometimes you have to give an Oscar winning performance when you open a truly awful gift and thank the giver; when all you really want to say is "You shouldn't have. No really. You SHOULDN'T have". When I first saw this category my initial thought was "how ...  Read the complete review

Unwanted gifts, bit of a touchy subject as no one wants to appear to be ungrateful but we've all had those wonderful gifts haven't we! My partner laughs when he tells the tale of how every year an elderly relative who he can only remeber seeing the once sent him a bottle of matey's bubble bath! The last occasion being when he ...  Read the complete review

Why is it that when Christmas comes, some people presume that a person will be over the moon to receive smelly gifts such as talcum powder (I can't remember the last time I used that!) bath cubes (Oh dear!) and body sprays that are not the well-known ones, but a cheapie stores brand version. I wouldn't dream of buying people these kind of ...  Read the complete review

My husband's aunts always think of us at christmas. They are lovely people but I wish they would not give us anything for christmas. We have had all sorts of strange present but the best I think was a ceramic gazebo about 5" high and the ultimate in tat. It was not so bad when my great aunt was alive as she used to get them the following ...  Read the complete review

Over many years I have collected an assortment of necklaces, bathcubes, talcum powder,perfume and various other items (including hideous ornaments), that I never wanted and will never use. I just said 'thanks', smiled sweetly and put them in my 'present' box. Every Christmas and for some birthday presents (not the special ...  Read the complete review
