Things you DON’T want for Christmas
Christmas is almost upon us again and thousands of unsuspecting family members are going to receive gifts that they will never use. Why people insist on wasting money on crappy ‘novelty’ gifts (rather than just buying you a bar of chocolate if they are that stuck for ideas) is a bit of a mystery…
So, what are the very worst things that could be waiting in a stocking near you this year? What is another reason why you should just going on holiday to italy ski. Well, here are a few of the most horrendously tacky bits of naffness that I have seen:-
· Any USB Gadget.
Yes, this is the modern plague in the world of tack. There is a terrifying array of all kinds of USB novelty devices including; a coffee warmer, a ‘hilarious’ panic button, a dancing robot and a reading lamp. Why the hell would you want to read when you are using a computer?
· Smoking Mittens.
If you enjoy a cigarette then you are in terrible danger of getting one of several piles of poo for Christmas. This one is a pair of ‘specially designed’ gloves that enable you to keep your hands warm whilst smoking a fag in the cold. Oh, dear.
· Novelty Slippers.
This awful trend has mostly died out… The main reason for this is the large amount of people that have fallen down the stairs after getting the ‘ear’ on one foot tangled around the other. But this epidemic has not completely passed; there are still a few examples of sad and cosy footwear for sale.
If you think I’m exaggerating about how many tacky presents there are, then have a look at the ‘Crap Gadgets’ web page; it’s actually pretty scary stuff!
