I’m always on the lookout for interesting gift ideas but sometimes come across some bizarre ideas I wouldn’t recommend.
I tried to list some of the main pitfalls of gift buying in 8 Gift Ideas to Avoid and listed examples of real life bad gifts on the Big Fat Balloons web site. I even posted a recollection of funny gift mistakes collated from friends’ experiences on this site.
I have to admit missing this one out. The actress Amelia Warner reportedly expressed her unusual taste in gifts last Christmas. She apparently confessed to giving her girlfriends vibrators as gifts - and commented, “some were appreciative, others just plain embarrassed!”
Now you’ve been warned and have no excuse to get hen night gifts and Christmas gifts mixed up!
