warehouse clean out! Honestly, I laugh at some of the "gift sets boxed & go" ITKWD offerings have been.   I've seen only a few but today topped my 🤔:

garbage disposal stopper w/scraper - gift boxed set of 3

MC peelers - gift boxed set of 5 

Although, I do admit when the small knife sharpeners were first on I bought a set of 2 and gave one to a friend.  Love it!

To me these aren't gifts. JMO

I've owned two KitchenAid peelers for years, use them almost daily, put them through heavy dishwasher runs...........both still going strong, although I'm thinking the blades might be getting a little worn and maybe I should replace them

Don't understand how a peeler can break, and I'm sincerely asking anyone how it happens, what do they think causes it, what was brand name?

I was thinking about this, too - veg peelers, kitchen drain covers, little knife sharpeners - who knows what else.    Is there some kind of a 'I have to purchase a gift for a bunch of people I don't like' thing in parts of the country? 

BTW, those Genie drain things are great.  I have a couple of the original ones and one of the ones shown this morning.   One or two extras are greatw so one can be in the dishwasher.  So, for that if I didn't have 3 already, I'd buy the 3set for juste my needs.   I wouldn't give something like this, or a veg peeler, etc, as a gift though.

these odd kitchen things are perfect for the gift box i do for one of my sisters.  she appreciates practical gifts.    i have made the mistake of unpractical in the past,  yikes!

one other sister is a clean freak,  the duster set is part of her gift.

i have one nephew who gets a huge box of socks.    i have done this for him since he was 3 or 4.   he looks forward to this , he is now 25.  once i deviated and that did not go too well.

so yes, what are giftable items can be odd to some.

i do get to shop for more traditional gift type things for other family members.   i have a brother in law who is a tech head.   i got him the jam wireless earbuds.   anything not techy is a huge fail.

You forgot to mention the Scrub Daddy/Mommy

I think it was this past Wednesday when the dude was on again and a caller was about to hyperventilate over how happy she was getting the set in COLORS and giving them as gifts.

So glad I'm not on her gift list.

@TheMemphisVette

I agree with you re: practical presents - I've done many of these  in the past for my sons & friends.  I don't recall Q ever presenting such IMO ridiculous things in multiples.

(For example, I can buy scrub daddy, scrub mommy etc. at my local Bed Bath and Beyond 3 different colors in nice box for $9.99 less 20% coupon & no shipping).  

Yes, some of these items are useful & practical yet why not offer "multiple gift packaging" of some other items they carry - not just kitchen, cleaning.

plus, maybe better pricing since multiple would be appreciated.

@novamc1,The peeler blades lose their sharpness.

i did a search  gift sets.   many are individually boxed.  i noticed most categories  populated.

I am using a very old peeler that my mom received as a shower gift when she got married.  She used this peeler her entire life and I've been using it forever.  It's as good as new and works wonderfully.  I peel butternut squash without breakage or strain.  My parents were married in 1939 and those were things brides received back then. As the old expression goes, 'they don't make them like they used to,'   docsgirl
