Re: When I hear the hosts name all the people they buy gifts for, I realize that I

I know what those homes and properties look like in and around West Chester, PA.   Those hosts can afford to be that generous, and so can some others in the good ole USA.   Not me, I'm just your average every day person working and doing what I can to pay the bills and have a little saved for the future, and a little for treating my self here and there.

We never have the same mail carrier two days in a row. Altho I think this year we will give a gift to our vets office. The workers and doctor have been so kind to us and it has been a tough year for us-pet wise. We will probably give a plant.

1.)    I wish I had an extra closet to designate as a "gift closet", so I could store gifts to be  given out through the year.

 

2.)     I don't know enough people who would  NOT rather receive a practical gift of cash or  gift card for a grocery store or gas station, instead of ...........well, you name the gadget being sold on air.

For sure a sales tactic, an incredibly stupid one. My best guess is that most qvc customers are good middle class folks that are keeping there heads above water after 2008. Come on QVC , we are a little more intelligent than you give us credit for.

That's quite a gift.  I think JRT also suggested one year to gift the teacher  a Dooney handbag.

I'm thinking I must be cheap!  Only gift immediate family members and tip no one.
