This the season.

Rhetorical question: What's the worst possible gift? One that says 'I felt like I had to buy a gift, but really didn't give a damn,' right?

Non-rhetorical question: To whom would you give a gift box of off-brand hot sauce? I live in the Southwest and you can get this kind of thing in specialty stores all year round. But who is buying so many gift boxes of hot sauce that regular stores need to stock them this time of year?

Please share: What's your idea of a really thoughtless gift?

Sadly, I have had too many of these to count -- but I think my top one so far was the gift set of bath-y things that smelled like a dead goat and still had the $5.00 price tag on it. And that from a 'family' member too!

It would be nice if people would take a whiff before they buy, wouldn't it. Even for $5.00!

One year, for one gift, I got about a five year supply of after-shave in one bottle from a friend. It smelled like a corral full of musk oxen. My mother thought the bottle was pretty so we dumped the stink'em and my mother had a new knick-knack. Present saved. ;o)
