GH Tried and Tested: A retrospective

All I want for Christmas...

'Christmas is a housewife's pleasure' - so wrote the GHI back in 1954. In the gift guide that year, readers were told that the perfect present for a woman was a mop, a whisk and some Tupperware. For better present ideas that will be more gratefully received, keep an eye on the Good Housekeeping galleries in the run up to 25 December.
