We will use enough plastic this Christmas to make 2.4m Frozen Snow Glow Elsa dolls

Novelty underpants, dubious-smelling perfume sets and chick-lit novels are just some of the most ‘rubbish’ presents that will be given this Christmas.

According to Repak, which is hoping for a green Christmas, more than half of the gifts received will be considered useless.

Six out of 10 women put dodgy-smelling perfume gift sets at the top of their unwanted gift list, followed by bath sets (25%), decorative boxes (23%), and chick- lit novels (22%).
