We recently asked the Mouths of Mums community to tell us the worst Christmas presents they’ve ever received – and their answers did not disappoint.
Now, we know that Christmas is all about the spirit of giving, and we should be super grateful for getting anything at all. But used underwear? Come on!
From expired food to nasty mother-in-law revenge gifts, these are some of the most horrifying Christmas presents mums have ever had the misfortune to receive.
