How festive, QVC! Could it get any worse? Oh wait, yes it can, how about a toothbrush?

That may be your opinion, however...

The motor on my Soniccare tootbrush died 2 weeks ago so I needed the Toothbrush TSV and ordered one.  My first Soniccare toothbrush was a xmas gift many years ago - a practical gift I appreciated because I wouldn't have spent that much money to buy it for myself at the time.

We are also in dire need of a new mattress so the mattress TSV may be something I actually need.

These mattresses sold without a box spring baffle me.  Many of us have a bed frame that require a box spring. What are we supposed to do?

Oh, I get it!  Order from a mattress store where we can get what we need.

My guess they are targeting the practical, lets-get-this-for-each-other-for-Christmas crowd.

Meanwhile, they are putting the rest of the audience to sleep.

The mattress in a box craze is huge right now.  There's no way QVC can ignore it and not present it themselves. 

They still have plenty of traditional mattresses on QVC that still get air time (unfortunately )..

So here are my questions  -  what kinds of things do you want to receive as gifts - and what kinds of things (besides gift cards) do you like to give others?

I'm at the point in my life at which I don't even know what to do with all I already have, so it makes choosing the few gifts I give hard to choose.   don't even like goft cards as gifts although that's what I use for most life-changing events such as weddings and graduations.

Haven't seen a Serta TSV in a while.  Q is liking these bed in boxes more including the Northern Nighs and Scott Bros.   I would still be hesitant about the bed in box.  For one thing, what do you do with your old mattress?  Getting rid of it yourself could be a hassle not worth dealing with.  Then there is the boxspring question that Carmie talked about.  Something about bed in box just doesn't seem right.  Like what are the chances all the springs and everything straightens out and expands correctly without little dips and what not?

@Carmie.  Use your old box spring.  By the way, my picky sister has this mattress and loves it, even with serious back issues.
