Poundland 'gift of nothing' sparks criticism

[Still Waters]

It's the thought that counts when giving presents - or is it?

Discount retailer Poundland has caused controversy with its latest Valentine's Day gift, a heart-shaped package with nothing in it.

The Gift of Nothing, naturally priced at £1, is intended as "a bit of fun", says the retailer.

But Friends of the Earth and other campaign groups have complained that whatever Poundland was thinking about, it certainly wasn't the environment.

Don't see the bit of fun in it.  If you're going to give nothing for Valentine's then give nothing.

I'm with the environmentalists on this one.

Thank you, I was looking around for ideas!

And what did you come up with? Nothing.

How to end a relationship lol

It wouldn't be so bad if there's another gift given straight afterwards, but I think the recipient would still need to have a good sense of humour first.

Not so much a sense of humour, but the ability to forgive.
