With a sample of Poo-Pourri......really!! Alberti said it would be a nice gift for a friend-or even your postal worker......really!!

I can't believe Alberti said that; he's usually so sensible. IMO a gift of Poo-Pourri to anyone is the epitome of poor taste, even as a joke.

If I gave my postal worker a gift of poo-pourri, he'd probably throw my mail all over the lawn!! And I wouldn't blame him!!

Everyone sees what makes a 'good' gift differently. Some women would divorce their husband for getting them a Dyson or a KitchenAid, others would be thrilled to pieces.

I think the whole Poo-Pourri argument has kind of been beat to death. It isn't the kind of gift one would give the first Christmas they were meeting their new in-laws, but it isn't inappropriate for everyone in every situation.

My mom took some to her primary care physician when she had her annual physical, and they put it in the office restroom. They thought it was the best thing since sliced bread.

Anyone who has ever had to share/use a public restroom knows it might catch the recipient off guard at first, but is one of those things that you love having when you need it.

I guess it's the juxtaposition of the greeting card and poo. Nothing says Merry Christmas like a card and not so subtle message that yes, your $hit does stink.

It would be a riot to listen in on one of those staff meetings where they are discussing how to sell Poo Pourri.

I've given Poo-Pourri as Christmas gifts; to those who have mentioned in the past they would like some. I use them as stocking stuffers and as add-ons. To MY knowledge, I haven't offended anyone and I've brought the company new customers because they've loved the stuff. Having one in the office is WONDERFUL.

I feel for him; bet he was told to say that.

People get offended by everything, it seems. But.... you also must know your audience.

LOL! Coffee right out the nose on your post! Too funny! You said it perfectly!!

You are so right...a greeting card? Really? That is pushing the envelope (literally) IMHO!

I put it in everyone's Christmas stockings a couple years ago as a serious joke! We all laughed our heads off...jokes galore all day.

But every single recipient is a 'user' now!

Mind you, this was immediate family.

I can't even fathom giving it to anyone else let alone my mail carrier.

I wish that I had known about it while I was working. There were 2 ladies in our building that carried lg cans of spray everytime they used the ladies room. They over did it and the room was unusable for quite awhile. Those of us with allergies asked that they please not spray but it continued. The ladies were bldg supervisors so we did speak to them directly. After many complaints they stopped their spraying and installed automatic deodorizing units in each stall that were triggered when you opened the stall door. Now we had lighter scents but they were sprayed directly on us. The ladies with allergies had to unload the bottle of spray from behind closed doors each time before entering. If I had known about the Poo products I would have given them as a anytime gift to all of the ladies. It would have solved our problem in a very easy way. We would all have a good laugh about a "delicate" problem. The "offenders" are nice ladies so I would have had no problem talking to them and presenting them the first bottles. My family loves them. Their lady friends have asked where to get them. It is an item that I give only to those I know well.
