Empty gift 'waste of packaging'

A gift company selling empty packages containing "imaginary friends" has been criticised by green organisations.

Friends of the Earth and Waste Watch say the gifts, sold by the Diabolical Gift People, could be the biggest waste of packaging on shop shelves.



The manufacturers describe the ingredients as "air and imagination" and advise buyers to retain packaging for future use.

A spokesman for the company said the product was meant as a joke.
