Q Talk

[Spurt]

I enjoy CIJ (well SOME of it anyway)....but REPETITION must be QVC's and buyers/programmers favorite words...........

Just when you thought you had ENOUGH of those darn gift bags with their what seemed liike a zillion LENGTHY presentations the week before last.......they bring them back again for an encore performance!!!!  They've been on so much I could give the presentation!!!  ---    And YES I did find something else to do when I saw them on....What I don't understand is QVC rushes Harry Slatkin during the presentations of his 3 wick candles and his new figurals........but we get yet ANOTHER presentation on those darn bags!!!!

 And while I'm at it....how many Christmas trees does QVC need to present---the BL Micro Light trees, the Hallmark trees,  Santa's Best trees, the ED tree, and Valerie Parr Hill trees....but of course they are classified as "new" even though basically it's the same BORING presentation.......I think there are other customers that would like to see more VARIETY QVC...........you can look it up in a dictionary QVC since you've forgotten what the word means.....you bring us "new" products but many are THE SAME!!!......meanwhile I think I'll turn off the TV, put my credit card away and tackle some household chores before I fall asleep from boredom, too bad QVC doesn't make the CIJ event really unique and spend time on products that are truly new!  And no the former magnetic blocks that now click into place don't count as "new" either....................

Wonder how long before they start with the Flashpad?

Let me preface this by saying, I love QVC. I've been shopping with them for nearly 30 years. But I must agree with others, that their selection and quality of Christmas decorations is not as good as they were years ago. And the quality control is sorely lacking. Too many items arrive damaged or defective.

But getting back to the OP's point. Where's the variety? They don't even offer different kinds of gift bags. They used to have some good quality paper gift bags, with tissue paper. Now, they're all these mylar bags with draw string ties.

Plus, not everyone wants to "wrap" all their gifts in a bag. Whatever happened to gift wrapping paper and boxes. QVC used to sell different kinds of gift wrap assortments.

They even sold "Gift-Wrap-In-A-Snap". These were various sized boxes, that came with pre-cut paper, that you didn't even need scotch tape to wrap your present. Everything you needed was included.

Okay, rant over.

Yes I bought those "gift wrap in a snap" with the pre-cut paper and boxes---those were fantastic!!!  

Gift bags may work for some gifts, but for a more elegant presentation or a special gift for a special someone, it requires a bit more...JMHO

And I concur about the quality from home decor to clothing Ive reduced my shopping because of returns and am very selective what I buy anmore at QVC

The flash pad is back.  I saw it the other night as I dove for the remote.  Just think you can take a luxurious bath in your Philosophy gallon of bath gel while washing your hair with Wen.  Then jump out of the bath, put on your D&C leggings and a plaid big shirt and play with your Flashpad right before you decide what to give to the school bus driver, the postman, the teacher and the kid that sells you coffee at Starbucks.  Happy Holidays.

I've gotta agree with you, @Spurt.  I flipped over to QVC early this morning, saw Christmas decor, and immeditely turned off the TV and haven't had it on since.  I got busy cleaning house, and I'll tell you what I learned:   It's more fun scrubbing gunk off bathroom tiles than it is watching CIJ.

HI TOTOTWO! I wouldnt go quite as far as you, there are a FEW enjoyable shows I watch, but its mostly the same stuff they've had for a few years....LOL!!!  And sad isn't it when we consider cleaning our bathrooms more enjoyable than watching what QVC is showing.....LOL!
