Did anyone hear Jane Treacy's Christmas gift suggestion with the Clark's shoes ?

I think it is probably wise not to watch hosts you don't enjoy. Jane's not going to change, you're not going to change. It is a pretty predictable recipe for frustration.

Gazelle, don't be so ridiculous. I didn't say a thing about ME gifting shoes. I know better! I'm discussing the fact that Jane would think it a logical gift from a parent to a child's teacher. Does that make sense ?????

Enjoying a host has little to do with a thoughtless comment like suggesting that you give shoes to a teacher. First, shoes are a strange gift to give anyone, since you really need to try them on. They are not like a scarf or a piece of jewelry. And then of course there is the cost factor. Even if you could afford to give a teacher (and what child just has one teacher, even in primary grades) a $75 gift, it would be inappropriate to give such a personal gift as shoes! As a former teacher I would have been a little weirded out if a student gave me a pair of shoes. Seriously. Some of my favorite gifts were very simple, but everyday things, like a Christmas decoration, cookies, or even a Mrs. Prindable's apple.

I don't usually watch when she is on. She is way too pretentious for me.

I suspect that 99.99% of viewers don't take such suggestions seriously. Honestly, I don't. The hosts have a lot of air time to fill. I just can't get upset by it.

Aside from it being a stupid, ridiculous teacher gift, Chrissy is too old to have to buy teacher gifts. She's a lot older than Jane.

Weird sales pitch.

That is just ridiculous!!
