HUDDERSFIELD, England, Dec. 29 (UPI) -- A British woman says she is selling still-wrapped Christmas presents from her cheating ex-boyfriend on eBay to benefit a hospice.

Leanne Joseph, 24, of Huddersfield, England, said she dumped her 29-year-old ex-beau, identified only as Mark, three days before Christmas when she was made wise to his philandering ways, The Sun reported Tuesday.

"I was out with friends from work and one of them said, 'I've slept with your boyfriend,'" Joseph said. "I was gobsmacked. We'd been together for three years. I thought she was a good friend, so I've lost a mate, too."

Joseph said she decided not to open the Christmas gifts Mark gave her and is instead selling the items, which she theorized might include perfume, jewelry and a thong, on eBay. She said the money from the auction will be donated to a local hospice.

"Things are still really raw, so I don't want anything from him. I hope someone else can enjoy them," she said.

The auction had topped $75 Tuesday.
