Inspired by Christopher Biggins’ interview on the ITV show Loose Women, my friends and I have arranged a Secret Santa…. With a twist.

The purpose is to buy/get the person the WORST present ever, and due to the fact that nobody can keep a secret I have heard of some pretty funny gifts that are going to be opened on Christmas Day.. Here are some that I have heard about:

  • A pillow
  • A Frisbee
  • A coat hanger
  • A scented candle
  • A chlamydia testing kit
  • A Tweenies stationery set
  • A broken smoke alarm
  • Bacon scented deodorant and hand cream
  • A light bulb
  • A collection of self-help leaflets
  • Some rainbow coloured playdough
  • Many pictures of the sender morphed into a picture of Jesus Christ
  • A sachet of cactus seeds

So there’s an idea for you and your friends, if you haven’t already thought of a cool enough idea for Christmas. Feel free to borrow some gift ideas!
