Emjoi Hair Remover as a Holiday or Hostess Gift??

handygal2 — Thu, 08 Oct 2015 00:25:02 GMT

Jill B. and the Emjoi vendor are touting this device as a holiday or hostess gift. WTH?? I don't know about you, but l would be offended if someone gifted that to me!! Lol.

Shawn has said that the inside joke among the hosts is that anything can be considered giftable.

I loathe epilators. It is not a gift I want to give or receive.

LOL... I would be too.

I remember my Mother telling me that she would be very offended if she received soaps or bathing stuff as a gift!! Times have sure changed haven't they? *Cough*Philosophy*Cough*....

Fill up the ole gift drawer with Emjoi Hair Removers -- you never know when friends or relatives will drop by around the Holidays with one for YOU.

Unless it's someone you know really well, and you know that she wants one, I would say NO!

Well, I suppose it's a little classier than giving some deodorant............

A hair removal tool isn't something I would ever consider giving as a gift nor would I like to be the recipient of one either. These are personal items that should be considered as such.

This would be something I would give as a holiday gift to my sister or SIL only if they told me that is what they wanted.

I would never give this to someone who didn't ask for it and I'd never give it as a hostess gift. That is just silly.

Oh and don't forget, it makes an excellent gift for your child's teacher, the school bus driver, your Sunday School teacher, your manicurist, your neighbor, etc. etc......

Or bathroom de-stinkifier... (aka poo pourri)...

The emjoi vendor works my last nerve anyway, but I was flummoxed either last year or the year before, (I really don't remember which and it really doesn't matter, since this is one of those things the Q insists on selling year after year after year... world without end... as a holiday gift...) when she sat there with a Cheshire cat grin on her face and suggested giving the heel scraper as just 'the perfect hostess gift'... 'And so much more original than that predictable bottle of wine', she went on to say... Really? All I could picture was sitting around a fancy holiday table and the hostess throwing her leg up in the air to begin scraping her heels before serving dessert... They really stretch the bounds of reality (not to mention even marginal taste...) with some of their 'perfect' gift ideas... For me, this one took the cake and is one of the many, many reasons I pretty much stopped watching QVC's all too plentiful 'generic' holiday gift shows...

If you give me an emjoi as a hostess gift, you better check your food.

LOL, just kidding. I'd be gracious and no one would realize I was also hurt.

LOL, it's started already. All the ridiculous suggestions for gift recipients. Last night I heard a new one - the violin teacher. I don't think a personal thing like a hair remover is a good gift to give someone, unless you are very close to them or they specifically ask for it. Otherwise, I think they'd be offended!

Don't forget the nose hair clippers for the men on your gift list.

Why not just make up a nice little gift basket for them and throw in some Poo-Pourri as well?
