Gee Thanks - Gee Thanks – Sponsored by American Express® Gift Cards

Submitted by Boy Genius Report on December 4th, 2008

When I think back the countless numbers of gifts that I have gotten, many stand out in my mind as those “wow, this is just what I needed” presents, and then there are those that make me shriek every single time I think about them. The one gift that makes me wish so much that I could turn back time and erase one 5 minute segment of my life is the day that my friend gave me a laptop.

I know, a laptop might not sound bad at first — in fact, I am sure that most of you reading this have already asked for a brand new laptop on your wish lists for the upcoming holidays. But once you hear my story, you will be surprised to say the least. READ THE REST…

Since Trend Hunter is all about innovation, we see a lot of incredibly
unique gift ideas. In reality, however, good gifts are hard to come by.

On that note, have you ever received a really bad Christmas present? One
where you just knew the horror was showing in your eyes when you grinned,
grinding your teeth in an attempted polite smile, as you thanked the
generous gifter? Yah, so have I. It’s tough because I am so grateful
when people think of me, but honestly, sometimes a card or a nice afternoon
stroll with a cup of coffee would be giving me so much more. READ THE REST…

Contrary to popular belief and a 200 year old song, a partridge in a pear tree would not make a good gift. Even if you can get past the logistics of seeing your uncle Hal walking through the foyer with a large, planted fruit tree in which a bulbous pheasant is residing, the obvious question is where in the heck are you going to plant this tree, and, more importantly, what does a partridge eat? You better hope it’s pears.
