Q Talk

Is it me or is anyone else finding the so called "gifts" this year on QVC boring, lackluster, what other adjective can I use??

[stevieb]

Yes, pretty much every year though. Other than a few 'speciality' shows, all the trinkets, gadgets, 'practical' presents, electronics and so on are a big reason I watch so little QVC anymore. Not only are the products almost universally boring but they tend to be self-explanatory and do not require endless, redundant and repetitive presentations.

I bought a set of Berkshire blankets for a friend who loves them. I'm doing my other gifts -and I don't have a lot- - elsewhere.

It is a real snoozer. I call those shows "hard goods" shows. Those consisting of blenders, vacuums, computers, the Halo of course and plain old household gifts. I don't bother with those shows.

  Have checked a few times,  bought  a few  items, but finding great sales at other  websites .

Gems En Vogue  web site having a big sale and free shipping & extra 10 %off . 

Already received the sweaters  sent via UPS from Talbots that I bought pre Black Friday sale  and some toys from Mondware  which were Black Friday  pricing . Yippy !

What specifically do you want to see QVC offer that you are not seeing?

[Etoile308]

Many of the gift are the same type you see at other retailers. They must hold some interest or they wouldn't be repeated at this time of year after year. 

I find most are on the practical side, so I guess many find that appealing.

It doesn't bother me.

I refuse to watch Q's Christmas shows. I find the products boring and overpriced. The repetition year after year is boring and I have better things to do.

I guess I'm confused at the expectations of Christmas shoppers.  When I had a number of gifts to purchase I made a list of items I wanted to purchase and the recipients.  I never wandered around a mall or watched home shopping channels to figure out what to buy. I had my list and checked off the items as I found them.  

The holiday on-air items on QVC I'm mostly buying for stocking stuffers or "thank you" gifts for my letter carrier, delivery drivers, hair dresser, waste management team, book club members.
