While we were salivating with envy at some of the best pressies
we were staggered at some of the worst presents you have endured.
The most frequently-cited, gasp-worthy gifts include:
(Un)sexy undies:
While M&S's best lace knickers can make a woman swoon with delight,
tacky PVC thongs or, as one poor lady had to contend with, crotchless
knickers really don't push your buttons. Same goes for socks and
sex toys, guys!
DIY tools/household goods:
These, for men, may be to DIY-for, but most ladies prefer something
more luxurious than practical. So forget the screwdrivers, dimmer
switches, jump leads, steering wheels, chip fryers, toasters, blenders
and paper slicers.
Other appalling presents! No, we didn't make these up!
- 'Video docudrama on some gang from America. Why?'
- 'Prawn salad.'
- 'Water pistol.'
- 'Second-hand clothes.'
- 'My fiancée farting in bed and saying: "Happy Valentine's Day".'
- 'Can of lager and bag of crisps.'
- 'A safe.'
- 'Jamie Redknapp figurine.'
- 'An Erotic Dot-to-Dot book (bought by my MUM!!!!).'
- 'George Foreman Lean Mean Fat Machine.'
Imaginative idea! (Though not romantic…)
Darren Wilson and his wife Kath Rose beat off stiff competition
to win a divorce in a Valentine's Day radio competition in 2000.
Their story even beat the complaints of one wife who moaned that
her husband wore his underpants inside-out so he could use each
pair twice before washing them. Wilson blamed getting married too
young on their decision to divorce, while his wife Kath Rose was
more specific in her grievances, including Darren hogging the TV
remote control and leaving the toilet seat up. The exes both won
a 'divorce-moon' which enabled them to go away with their new partners.
There were no shocks (or socks!) here. The
best present you could receive, with 52% of votes, was to be whisked
away for a romantic weekend. Following closely (at 42%) was dinner
in a fab restaurant. Flowers, jewellery and a lie-in scored similarly,
while 5% of women ticked 'something else'. Wonder what that would
be...
