Yellow & Turquoise

"'Selling gifts from an ex makes sense - I feel fantastic and I'm £20 richer,' says Natalie, 26, from Putney, who sold a yellow and turquoise Puma tennis dress on eBay. 'It was a horrendous birthday present from my boyfriend of two years. I forced myself to wear it twice but after we split I wanted it gone. I cringed remembering the moment he gave it to me - in a plastic bag in front of my friends in a beautiful restaurant. I'd already binned my photos of him and the dress was the last reminder I had left.'"
