Old is new again

Not that we’re suddenly turning selfish, solely out to buy our ten items or less. In 2003, 51% of gifters shopped for themselves. The buy-for-me increase is a direct result of Gift Card availability, something a lot of husbands are undoubtedly grateful for, I’m guessing.

Then there’s the, “I do not like to give presents…” folks. One person polled said, “I have started giving “experiences” to my loved ones who expect ‘gifts’. For my nephew’s birthday (he was 3) I adopted a Siberian Tiger from the Columbus Zoo for one year. He got the adoption papers, can visit it anytime he wants and the zoo sent him a stuffed tiger toy and a pair of binoculars.” Our Pollie adds, “I also started a subscription from National Geographic.”

She continues, “Nieces and nephews who expect presents get train trip certificates.”

Her brother and sister-in-law? Parmesan cheese, spaghetti, sausage, bacon, pancake mix, sauce, a calphalon pan, plus a calphalon griddle and a cabin weekend at a State Park.”

Good News, retailers now believe over 66% of gifts are recycles, and nobody seems to mind at all. So if you don’t like one of your 10 Items, or 10 Gifts when your own birthday rolls in, not to worry. Somebody will appreciate what you were given.

Happy 2007 Shopping.
