CONTEST – MEN AND THEIR GIFTS #LHLC <\/p>\n

What woman hasn’t sighed when opening her Christmas present? A food processor? A vacuum cleaner?
\nLet’s face it, men don’t know how to give gifts…!<\/p>\n

The studies are clear: 98.4% of men give failed gifts to their spouses (INSEE study, 2012). <\/p>\n

This phenomenon has survived the ages with surprising consistency: from Cro-Magnon man to the present day, the male sociology of the gift highlights this curious anomaly of nature.

GALLERY OF HORRORS” COMPETITION FROM NOVEMBER 14 TO NOVEMBER 28<\/p>\n

To put an end to years of torment, Gemmyo is launching a big contest on its Facebook fan page(http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Gemmyo)<\/a>: the contest for the worst gift ever received at Christmas!<\/p>\n

The principle is simple: from November 14, Internet users simply post a photo of their most disastrous gift, and the winner will be the one whose gift receives the most votes… the one whose gift is the most appalling!<\/p>\n

To cheer her up on November 28, Gemmyo will be offering her a \u20ac400 gift voucher on its site so she can finally find a gift she really likes.<\/p>\n

GENERALIZE POLE THROWING<\/p>\n

For those who weren’t lucky enough to win – and who panic at the thought of receiving a bathroom scale again this year for Christmas – Gemmyo is making pole-throwing the general rule. It’s a matter of survival for women, and a godsend for men, who won’t have to worry about giving the wrong gift. <\/p>\n

How do you do it? Simple: hostage-taking.<\/p>\n
