So Buzzfeed did a post called “Practical Things You Should Get Someone For The Holidays” and while some weren’t bad…we got a couple you should definitely AVOID!
- Subscription Box: It may seem ingenious at first, but be wary of buying a subscription box for any hobbyist. First off many are not truly worth the value they promote. Second, there’s always a rule of thumb I’ve kept as gospel during the holiday season. If you know someone really likes something, and you know nothing about it…don’t get that for them unless they tell you to. You don’t want to buy a wine lover a 60 dollar bottle of their least favorite wine. Same goes with many of these subscription boxes
- A Gym Membership: Talk about a slap in the face! Practical? Sure. But you’re also hitting someone with a gym membership during the time most people pack on pounds during the holidays. I don’t think you give this if you’re looking to spare feelings.
- Socks: No. You get me socks I don’t give a damn if it’s practical…you just sapped the magic out of the day.
Truthfully all the rest are decent and you should definitely check the list out if you are having particular trouble finding that special someone anything they might like.
