How many of you bought the $400 Dyson hairdryer for their gift closet!

For $400, I expect more than just drying my hair. LOL

No, but I was at Costco yesterday and bought a $20 Conair.

@nana59 I don't think you are at all curious whether I bought one or ten Dyson dryers for my gift closet.

You don't have to like the hosts talking about products for gift closets, but you do have to be honest. I actually watched most of that presentation and never once did I hear the host or vendor talk about gift closets.

I dislike posters who are dishonest as much as I dislike retailers doing that - although suggesting putting a $400 item in my gift closet isn't dishonest, just funny. I'm sure that's why we don't hear hosts and vendors using that line for expensive products.

@millieshops@However, the hosts do make ridiculous suggestions about who to gift, and what those gifts should be. The poster made an amusing comment, please get a sense of humor, your life will be more pleasant, and so will you. JMO

Not an amusing comment but a rather dumb thing to post!! They never say that about expensive items! It might have been amusing if a host had actually said such a thing!! Seems to me just another post to make fun of anyone who is buying that hairdryer.

@nana59, there are so many to shop for: the mailcarrier, newspaper delivery person, the hair dresser, the pool service, the gardener ... the list goes on. However, I deceided to only purchase 2, one for Rachel, the manicurist and one for Connie, my local librarian. The others will get The Little Giant, Amazon Echo, Bose, a few will get cameras ... the way the hosts sale these products our money or lack of it, should be no reason not to give the Q's very best ... after all we can always return them before Jan. 31, 2017. (HA! HA!)

Ok, has the original post been edited or changed, because I don't see where the OP said anything about a host saying to get one for the gift closet.

And if someone wants to spend that kind of money on a dryer (who isn't making money using it in their business) have at it. Just expect to get some snide remarks. With all the need in the world you are going to encounter many who will think spending money in this manner is misguided and won't hesitate to say so (and I'm not saying that is what OP was doing).

OP was just a cute little joke. People need to get over themselves.

@Pook The the OP wrote the thread as a joke, her intention was not to ridicule anyone for buying the hairdryer. Why so sensitive?

If I found $400 laying on the ground I would not spend it on a Dyson hair dryer. Besides, I always let my hair air dry and don't use one.

@nana59 ...

I "get" what you meant ... and it was facetious, tongue-in-cheek, a little light humor ... however one wants to put it. Dishonest? ... not in the least. Geez, lighten up ...

I was thinking of getting one for my mailman, but then I met him and he's bald! Maybe some Argan Oil for his scalp???
