People shared the worst christmas gifts they ever got – and these 18 go straight into Grinch territory

As Christmas 2020 was so rubbish it barely counted, a lot of people have pinned great hopes on this year’s festivities – if the Boris Johnson effect doesn’t kick in before then.

They’re splashing out on treats, flashy decorations and carefully chosen gifts.

And ‘carefully chosen’ is definitely not the right description for these 18 gifts, given to unfortunate Redditors, who shared their tales in response to this –

One that stands out was a car crash kit. It had a disposable camera for recording the scene, a form for both parties to fill out, a tape measure for measuring… I dunno stuff. And some chalk, for what I assume was for marking out where the dead bodies landed, or something, I dunno.
