You’ve learnt how to fake a smile when Great Aunt Mildred offers you a birthday gift.
But what do you do with the garden gnome/Princess Diana doll/Manhattan snow globe once she leaves?
Take your lead from Jade Gallup, who used her background in ceramics to turn an obsession with tacky objects into Me Me Me — a collection of quirky porcelain jewellery. Get playful with a bunny necklace or strike a pose in whimsical lightning-bolt earrings. A glazed engagement ring will get everyone talking, while multicolored skull, bird and anchor brooches are so wrong they’re right.
Still uninspired by that crocheted toilet roll cover? Give your unwanted gifts to someone you don’t like.
When it comes to you, it’s all about me, me, me.
