Amazing! According to the Motley Fool (www.fool.co.uk), the average Briton received £90 worth of unwanted Christmas presents this Christmas. This is on top of a figure I heard last year (can't remember where from now) that said the average family in Britain spends £2100 on Christmas, and that by Christmas 2007, most people were still paying off their credit card bills from the previous Christmas. That's a whole lot of pressies.
So, if you did receive £90 worth of unwanted presents, most charity shops would probably be glad of them, especially if they're still in their boxes. Our nearest will be getting a haul fairly shortly.
And Sainsbury's (and no doubt the other major supermarkets) are doing their annual recycling of Christmas cards, with proceeds going to The Woodland Trust. Well done Sainsburys.
