Do you have kids on your Christmas list who don't want the latest toy or video game? They want something different and different isn't always easy to shop for.
Every year, we get together and exchanged gifts for Christmas, Hanukkah, Festivus...and we spend time trying to think of the perfect gift for everyone on the list. Usually we do a pretty good job, but sometimes things come out a little wonky. Maybe it was Uncle Raul who likes Barry White, and not that Slayer CD you gave him? Who knows.
What weird gift did you get this year? Something that made you
Trans-Siberian Orchestra isn't making its traditional Holiday swing through El Paso or Las Cruces this season, but they've certainly made an impact here. However, the band's greatest impact in the Borderland may have come off-stage in 2008.
Today is apparently "Christmas in July". Did I get anything? Nope. Did I get anyone else something? Not really, just a contribution to a retirement gift for one of the nicest ladies I know. But this made me remember a conversation I had a few weeks ago during a wedding, when I learned that people don't shop using the baby/wedding registries!
What kind of stupidity is this?
‘Tis the season to receive gifts. Inevitably, some of the presents your friends and loved ones will be nice enough to give you won’t be anything you particularly want or need.
So, do you try to make these unwanted gifts usefull by wrapping them back up and giving them to somebody else who might actually appreciate them?
Spent all your money on one really great gift, but think you should also get a small gift so your loved one has something else to open? Think again. New research shows that a small gift could decrease the value of the more generous one in the eyes of the recipient.
If you’re thinking of buying us something for the holidays, just to show your appreciation for how awesome we make your lives, here’s a perfect idea: a water powered jetpack.
