As the nation starts planning for Christmas, new research has revealed the most misguided gifts you could ever give a loved one - according to those unfortunate enough to have received them.
The research from Argos found that three in four people (73 percent) have been given an terrible gift for Christmas in the past, ranging from cleaning products to useless vouchers.
Apparently we get an average of two unwanted presents every Christmas, with one in 20 (three percent) of those surveyed admitting they have never received a gift they have truly loved, despite 80 percent dropping hints to friends and loved ones about what they want.
If you are thinking about gifting any of the following, it's time to think again. There are the 17 most unwanted Christmas presents.
