I saw a family friend give a vacuum cleaner to his wife for Christmas once years ago. It didn't go over well and you could cut the tension with a knife. It was returned the following week.

I wonder when it became unacceptable to buy "Mum" household goods for Christmas? And on her birthday. It seems the concept was still going strong in 1979!
