The most unwanted gifts people receive are diet plans, de-icers, and bad romance novels.

A poll of 2,000 adults found 63 per cent receive up to seven presents each year which they’ll never use - with friends, in-laws and colleagues labelled as the worst present givers.

Ties, cleaning products and movies they’ve already watched were seen as other dull items to be gifted on birthdays, Christmas and beyond. Video via SWNS.
