Be careful with what you gift this Christmas as that could lead to your ultimate break up. A new survey conducted by the British dating site freedating.co.uk revealed that bad Christmas gifts could make women dump their partners. Topping the list of prohibited Christmas gifts are cooking utensils, cleaning products and a tape dispenser.

"It would make me rethink the person I am involved with," said Loiett Gore, of Weehawken, N.J., who once broke up with a guy who got her fake jewelry. "It wasn't the reason, but it did start a downward trend. Why give me something that could rub off?" Gore added.

While 17 percent of the men felt they could dump their partners over bad gift ideas, a huge 36 percent of the women strongly felt the same. A wrong gift followed with a other relationship problems eventually lead to breakups.

According to the poll, highly educated women largely in the legal field are most demanding of all. Lauren Mondello, 26, of Baldwin, L.I., said she may consider kicking a man to the curb for a lousy keepsake. "For a set of knives - I probably would," she admitted. Where as Rutgers student Katie Antos, 18, also wouldn't go splitsville over a no-good gift, but "if I won't get anything - maybe," she said.

So pull up your Santa Socks and be sure you please your lady love if you wish to stay in love
