Perth’s best/worst unwanted Christmas gifts

Rachel FennerHills Avon Valley Gazette

CHRISTMAS is over and the last thing you need is a gifted chocolate fountain or a Dockers’ sign cluttering up your house.

We are sensing a theme here…. it is highly likely that anything considered “sexy” will be unwanted and sold online.

This is just unhygienic. But at $5 a bargain.

The recipient of this gift would rather “kayak in the swan” than “surf at Cottesloe”.

So on Gumtree this went.

But at $299, we’re going to tell the seller they’re dreaming.
