Are these the worst Christmas presents to get given ever?

A pair of marigolds, a dead plant and anti-cellulite cream are just some of the most-hated Christmas presents to have been received on Christmas Day.

One unlucky recipient was given a tax disc holder, another unwrapped a mop and bucket, while someone thought a vacuum cleaner was an appropriate gift for a loved one, according to the Daily Mail.

The disastrous gifts uncovered in a poll of 1,500 people in Britain by breakfast spread Marmite, found one in four said they could not remember the last time someone gave them a present they actually loved.

Hand-made gifts like jams and chutneys also made the list of most-hated presents to have been received, as did half-drunk bottles of wine, push up bras, work out DVDs and sexy underwear.

Mums were named and shamed as the most likely to give a poor present according to the poll.

A quarter of people surveyed who get landed with a rubbish present like to exchange it for something else but 34 per cent give it straight to the charity shop.

A philosophical 83 per cent agreed that it was "the thought that counts" but the remainder, 17 per cent, said the cost and extravagance of the gifts you receive that was important.

Marmite spokesman Shannon Lennon-Smith said: "There is nothing worse than having to pretend that you love a present that you really hate."
