- Online shoppers have spotted wrapped and unwanted Christmas presents

- The stacks of gifts are being sold for as little as £1 on some websites
Online bidding sites mean it’s easier than ever to dispose of unwanted Christmas presents – but it seems some people have no intention of even opening their gifts.
Scores of Britons are flogging their unwanted Christmas gifts – many of which are still in their wrapping paper – online, despite having no idea what’s inside.
The opportunist Facebook and eBay users have no information on what the colourfully wrapped presents actually contain, despite some charging as much as £50 for the festive lucky dip.
It’s unclear why the gifts have been put up for sale, although touting them online is one way for internet users to make some quick cash after the expensive festive period.
