Among Britain’s most unwanted gadget gifts, and a clear sign of a complete lack of imagination when gift buying are, digital organisers, electronic Sudoku, bread makers , foot spas and digital photo frames.
In a recent survey it was revealed that one in three British adults had received an unwanted gadget as a Christmas gifts which has remained unused. Maybe the recipient didn’t know how to use it or they already had a better model. The study found that of the 31% who were given the high tech gift that had remained unused, 39% had admitted that they didn’t have time to use the device, 23% felt the gadget was pointless and 7% didn’t know how to use them. Furthermore, there were 18% who said that they just particularly didn’t like the gadget that much. Buying a suitable gadget involves some research.
