If you have started your Christmas shopping, you may be wondering if there are any gifts you should avoid buying for your loved ones.
We took to the streets of Dublin to find out what's the one thing people don't want to see under the tree this Christmas. And we got some interesting answers.
There was one brilliant lady who had a great response - a bra. She said she received the surprising gift from her auntie when she was a teenager. "When I was 16 my auntie bought me a bra and I thought it was the worst present she ever gave me. To this day it still haunts me.
"She thought she was being nice and it was the worst present I ever got. I was like 'what am I going to do with this? I haven't even got a boob!'"
Other items mentioned as awful Christmas presents included electrical items such as kitchen gadgets, hoovers, and other practical appliances. One woman said "I would definitely not like to see anything for the kitchen under the Christmas tree." So that might rule out air fryers for a lot of people this Christmas.
Socks was another item that came up a lot. While many would think some cosy new socks would be the perfect little Christmas pressie, it turns out Dubs are not impressed with this gift. "There is no point getting socks for Christmas. You can get them cheap in the shops," said one woman.
Perfumes, aftershaves and gift sets were also on the top of people's list of presents they are sick of getting. "I don't want to see all these gift sets with this stupid perfume or face cream. A lot of them I don't use and I don't want to see them again. I'm fed up with them. I don't mind some quality stuff but a lot of the stuff is just a lot of rubbish. I don't want rubbish anymore"
A young man also said he is not impressed with gift sets, especially one particular product: "Hopefully not another Lynx Africa set. Same thing every year I'm telling ya,." he laughed.. Another a girl told us she hates getting shower sets because "they are useless. I don't use them."
One lady also said she doesn't want perfume because it's "very individual" and she would rather chose her own. Other items mentioned included candle holders, jigsaws, and some people were not happy receiving alcohol.
