Why give expensive keyfobs? THEY ALREADY HAVE ONE THAT WORKS JUST FINE!

The hard truth is this: you can do better. You can find a better and more thoughtful gift to express your feelings other than an expensive keyfob. More so, your friends and loved ones aren't typically impressed with a keyfob. They already have one and it works. There is only one good situation to give a keyfob and that is when someone has purchased a new car.

More so, here is the most unbelievable part - the below item is an expensive $48 plus shipping! Yikes.

Whoever thought a paper weight was a gift - was WRONG!

Each weight below is $19.98 plus tax and shipping.

Who needs another spa basket with grocery store items?

We've all contemplated giving a spa gift basket to someone who needs more relaxation in their life - which is a loving thought. However, many of the affordable gift baskets sold at local retailers contain low-quality products with foul aromas.

Do you know what fragrance your recipient likes? If they don't like cherry, then wild cherry lotion and soap are bad gifts. Also, who needs another $1.00 sponge to wash with?

Everyone typically appreciates any type of gift in some manner. Although, when the gift contains items that your recipient could buy during their next trip to the grocery store…be prepared when they don’t respond with glee while opening your “spa gift basket.”

If your recipient actually needs new soap or is strapped for cash…then ok, maybe get the basket. But if not, Don't Give That!

Buyer Beware!

We couldn't believe our eyes when we saw this "gift," while conducting online shopping research. It is extremely impractical to give someone you care about a bag of "compliment stones."

What do they do with the stones? We were bewildered. So, our Creative Consultant staff decided the answer is...nothing!

Individuals would be crazy to believe that someone is going to keep a bag of small stones - almost too small to read - on their dresser and pick one up everyday, believe the compliment written on it and think of you. Crazy! Did we mention that this silly gift is going for around $28 plus shipping? You can do better. Don't Give That!
