It’s official, your in-laws will give you the worst Christmas presents this year!
A poll has revealed that mother and father in-laws top the list of bad gifters.
Work colleagues, aunts and sisters are also likely to hand over less popular presents.
Bad romance novels, knit-wear and mug sets top the list of most unwanted gifts to receive.
It’s wise to steer clear of toiletry gift sets, socks, bubble bath and ill-fitting clothes too if you want happy faces on un-wrapping.

The most wanted gifts are tickets to see bands perform, sentimental gifts and handmade gifts.
Oliver Harcourt, Head of Vistaprint UK, who commissioned the study via OnePoll.com, said:
“The survey found Brits had received gifts which included a broken toilet brush, an already opened pack of peanuts and an out of date cereal bar!
“But despite receiving some less than desirable presents, overwhelmingly people felt it was the thought that counted.”
Partners are mentioned for giving the best gifts and people admitted to hiding gifts around the home, re-gifting or donating to charity rather than saying they didn’t like a gift.
8 out of 10 adults shared that the thought counts more than the gift.
