A new survey has revealed that nearly 50 percent women are ready to break-up with their boyfriends over awful presents.

The survey, conducted on 1,700 women by online marketplace AskHerFriends.com, found that some women have received windscreen wipers, mops, compost, a cement mixer and beard trimmer as gifts, the Daily Star reported.

Meanwhile, almost a quarter of women reported getting no gifts at all from their partners and five percent of married ladies said that they pretended to like their Christmas gifts.

The survey also found that women in Northern Ireland were 70 percent more likely to sleep with a man who bought them the perfect gift.
