Worst Christmas Presents

1. Golf Clubs

NO WAY

"My nan saw my brother as the golden child which meant he got everything he wanted and, to be fair, I got the same but cheaper. One year he wanted golf clubs, so guess what I got..."

Kirsty, Senior Campaigns ExecutiveSLAY

2. A Fitness Watch

NO WAY

"A Fit Bit I didn't ask for... #needtobeinthegym"

Fran, General ManagerSLAY

There's only one kind of fit we want. Treat yo' self to the Maybelline Fit Me range, ideal for oily to normal skin types.

3. A Banjo

NO WAY

"A very expensive banjo"

"Every year my Nana buys me gin and gin related gifts... even though I'm allergic"

Izzi, Head of TradingSLAY

Tonic presents you can’t use with our edit of botanical beauty products.

6. A Pink Knitting Set

"A pink knitting set. I've never knitted. I still can't."

Rahoul, Senior eCRM ExecutiveSLAY

Don't tie yourself up in knots - figure things out and straighten up with Tangle Teezer.

7. The Apprentice DVDs

NO WAY

"My secret santa specially ordered me a DVD of the Apprentice - it even had extra scenes"

Melissa, Content ExecutiveSLAY

Don't get fired - look fire with our fave red lipsticks.

NO WAY

"A jar of plastic frogs. I was 10 years old at the time and no longer interested in plastic toys... and I never liked frogs"

Rob, PPC ExecutiveSLAY

Swap the frogs for a prince with our fave Lipstick Queen blusher - the green changes to create a bespoke pink hue, perfect for your skin tone.
