Britons' worst Christmas gifts revealed

Used pyjamas, rotten fruit, and a Tottenham Hotspur book for a Chelsea fan rank among the most "disappointing" Christmas gifts, a new survey reveals.

- 

Consumer group Which? found around a fifth (21 per cent) of people received an unwanted or unsuitable present during Christmas 2024, according to research conducted in January 2025.

Other notable examples of the worst gifts ever received included a rotten coconut and pineapple.

One person surveyed had received a Tottenham Hotspur book even though they supported Chelsea and another was gifted a helicopter ride despite having vertigo and a fear of flying.

When asked what they did with their unwanted gifts, a third (33 per cent) of people had kept it and will use it. One in six (15 per cent) had kept it but would not use it.
