Mark Pearson, chairman of MyVoucherCodes.co.uk, said: 'We continually keep an eye on what our customers are searching for, so we can offer more discounts on the things they want.




'This time of year, we always see more bizarre product searches than usual with this year no exception; so we decided to take a look at some of the most unusual product-searches on-site in the past 12 months.
