Have you given any strange gifts?
A skydiving experience for a Barbie doll, a bungee jump for a 100th Birthday celebration, and an afternoon tea for a very pampered pooch are just some of the things that Buyagift.com team members have been asked to book.
Buyagift.com today announced the weird and wonderful requests that the customer relations team have experienced since the online retailer launched in 2000.
With nearly 1,000 calls and requests received each day, some of the other more bizarre requests include an enquiry into a pop-star singing experience for a parrot, a break up message delivered by a Barbershop quartet, a rain free day for a customers visit to The Shard, and a lovers leap bungee experience for a customers soon to be ex-husband and his mistress.
One loved up couple even requested a three for the price of two offer on a scuba diving experience so they could bring a priest with them to renew their wedding vows under water. Further more, a customer who had booked a decadent Chocolate Indulgence Full Body Massage, a treatment that uses essentials oils and warmed 100% pure cocoa butter, requested the spa use dark chocolate as she was watching her weight and it would be the less fattening chocolate option.
