When it comes to presents, a luxury yacht isn't one to be sneezed at. But, if you're Holly Valance, it might be one to be barfed at. Yep, the star's husband, Nick Candy, pushed the boat out (literally) to buy the £26 million gift, even though Holly suffered from seasickness. Awks. While the billionaire was able to cure Holly's queasiness by calling in celeb hypnotist Paul McKenna (as you do), there are some gifts that are just too inappropriate, weird or downright rubbish to be salvaged. As the GLAMOUR team know only too well…
"My great-auntie gave me a used lipstick." Jo Elvin, Editor
"My sister was given a yearly subscription to Weight Watchers magazine by her 'friend'." Leanne Bayley, News Editor
"My ex once brought me a chicken foot (painted gold) back from his American Deep South road trip. Apparently they're lucky over there…" Ciara Sheppard, Features Assistant
"My mum received a dead duck in the post from a friend (ready to cook) - that was pretty terrible!" Natalie Michele Davis, Freelance Picture Editor
"I got a pedal bin for the bathroom, with three complimentary refuse sacks for Christmas from my husband last year… and kitchen scissors for my birthday. He even wrapped them!" Claudia Mahoney, Executive Fashion & Beauty Director
"Someone 're-gifted' me an old jewellery box that another one of our friends gave her a month earlier for her birthday." Estefania Hageman, Fashion Intern
"My mum wrapped up a library story tape for my sister to open. This is an awful gift in itself, plus she had to return it!" Alison Weatherhogg, Lead Designer, Bespoke
"I once got a whoopee cushion. For Valentine's Day, no less." Laura Johnson, Chief Sub Editor
