Sex toys, half eaten jar of jam and nose hair clippings among strangest ever Secret Santa gifts

Sex toys, a half-eaten jar of jam and nose hair are among the weirdest Secret Santa gifts ever received, a new survey has revealed. And in one macabre case, a woman was gifted a personalised mug featuring a photo of her recently deceased husband.

Millions of Brits are expected to partake in a secret santa this Christmas, with the survey finding that most set a £10 limit on gifts. However it also revealed that despite being the season of goodwill, most shoppers are scrooge-like when it comes to splashing the cash.

Barely any break the bank – with most of those polled admitting to spending well under half of their budget on a gift. The poll of over 400 shoppers also revealed almost one in eight shoppers buy secret santa gifts from Poundland, with 63% admitting they would rather buy for a colleague they detest, than one they actually like.
