Pic: Man’s tweet embarrassingly proves why you should NEVER wrap a vacuum cleaner as a present

ALWAYS keep it in the box...

Have you bought anyone a vacuum cleaner as a gift this Christmas? If you have, then you might want to think twice before taking it out of the box and wrapping it up. Because if you do, it'll end up looking like a giant... well, it'll resemble a huge... ahmm, it won't be unlike a gargantuan... Ah, feck it. Just look at the picture taken by Mark Stephens, who certainly had good intentions when he bought his Mother a brand new vacuum cleaner. There really is a lot to be said for, ahem, packaging...

In retrospect I think Mum's vacuum cleaner would've been better wrapped in its box. Just sayin'... pic.twitter.com/S6SlnQeg8q — Mark Stephens (@MarksLarks) December 24, 2014
