It's all very well getting the Christmas shopping done early - but what if the recipient of your largesse doesn't like their present, it's faulty or it doesn't fit?

According to classifieds website Gumtree, Brits spent over £2 billion last year on unwanted Christmas presents. However, only four percent of people said that when they didn't like a gift, they'd ask the giver for the receipt. A fifth said they simply stashed the present in a cupboard, and a quarter passed it on to someone else.
