Poll: Have you opened a present you had bought for someone else for Christmas?

Give it to us straight. Be honest.

THERE WAS A telling survey from Lir chocolates this morning that claimed around two-thirds of people end up eating a box of chocs that they have bought for someone else.

No comment.

But let’s extend that to all present-giving. We have all bought a gift for someone that we would really love for ourselves.

Have you ever given in to temptation and kept it for yourself? (And yes, we include edibles in this).

Poll Results:

No (3850)

Yes (2075)
