Wedding Gifts of 24 Toasters
R
eceiving a toaster as a wedding gift is usually something that most people consider to be a certainty, receiving two toasters can turn into a bit of a joke but imagine the surprise of one newly wed couple when they received not one, not two, but twenty four toasters!
Stuart and Claire Linley were married at Howden Minster in East Yorkshire.
When asked about what wedding gift the couple would like, Stuart and Claire answered that they would like to receive either vouchers or cash so that they could put the money towards their honeymoon. As the gifts from their one hundred and sixty guests piled up the couple noticed that some of them were of similar size and shape and on opening the packages, they found that they had received a lot of white two slice toasters from Tesco.
Thirty one year old Claire, who is an estate agent, was baffled at first but saw the funny side of the situation.
Auto-electrician Stuart, also thirty one, was in Ibiza on his stag weekend when apparently the idea was formed by his friends. He had been asked about wedding gifts and made a casual comment about not wanting to receive lots of toasters whereby a friend decided, as a prank, to tell as many people as possible to buy them a toaster.
The staff at Tesco’s was very helpful (amid the laughing) when they returned the toasters. The couple kept just one of them.
What is it about people wanting to buy toasters for newlyweds? Definitely an ideal case of having a gift list distributed or asking for donations – and thumbs up to Tesco’s for understanding!
