How about the bow maker?  Does anyone remember that? Well, I bought one and it proved that I'm just not supposed to make bows!  Oy!

There was a kitchen gadget to use to close snack bags (chips, Fritos, etc.).   You were to slide it across the top of the bag and it would seal it close.  It had a magnet so you could hang it on the fridge.    Did not work as demonstrated!

@alicedee  I forgot about that moose, I gave one to my son years ago and haven't seen it lately. I'll ask him where it is. 
  It's probably been regifted !

I never bought it, but I remember it being presented and the enthusiastic callers they talked to who purchased it!  That was back in the day when the Q offered a wider variety of items.,.often not things readily available other places....and reasonable prices.  I wouldn't swear to it, but it seems that moose was in the $30 range.

1. The gadget that is used to shave hair off your face--what a "charming" gift for all your "hairy" family/friends---LOL (presented by the same vendor that filed callouses off the feet).....Sorry but I dont think hygiene gifts are a good idea unless someone actually BEGS for one....

 

2. The INFAMOUS Flashpad! 

 

@Spurt I am still suffering from PTSD from the FlashPad overkill, lol!

I still have a bread machine but the cost of the bread mixes, if you can find them, are almost what I payed for the Machine.  To bad.  I loved the bread.
