But when an email dropped into our inbox from goal setting website wishbomb.com we were intrigued to discover what the 10 most unusual New Year’s resolutions were.
Turns out stroking a giraffe, becoming a better lover and saving up for a boob job are just some of the New Year resolutions being made by members of the public for 2012. Boob jobs, really? Come on ladies, there are tons of better ways to spend a few grand that don’t involve major surgery for a bigger bra size.
Wishbomb.com asked thousands of members what was on their lists and found that many were making unusual resolutions, far away from the typical ‘lose weight’ or ‘cut down on drinking.’ Although we’re sure they still feature heavily.
If you fancy making your goals public visit Wishbomb.com where you can set your goals and then blog about your progress, receiving motivational feedback from other users and turning those vague dreams of a better you into a reality.
Founder Ricky Cooper says it’s great that people are setting ambitious and fun targets in a bid to improve themselves, "each year people make the same resolutions which nobody ends up sticking to, so I think it’s a real positive change to set unique and ambitious targets for the year ahead."
Well, here are the 10 most unusual New Year resolutions for 2012:
Stroke a giraffe
Be a better lover (if this was you we can help you with these fab sex tips)
Meet Lady Gaga
Become a famous actor
Get skinnier than my sister
Dump my boyfriend
Save up for a boob job
Grow my hair
Do 50 things I've never done before
Get a date for New Year's Eve
Interesting. But quite frankly Team Handbag have more important things to do than worry about being skinnier than our siblings and going goo-goo over Gaga.
