So, Gifts Can Be Lame Sometimes, But Let's Face It, Everyone Has Gotten The Lamest But Worst Ones
- Sometimes Truth in Television. Everyone will probably have gotten at least one present they didn't like at their birthday. And do you remember the vase from your great-grandaunt that passes through the entire family, because no one wants it? Or that lame gift on Christmas? And yes, Christmas isn't about the gifts...
- Any gift exchange/white elephant will have at least one of these, often something re-gifted from a similar event.
- Averted with the help of any online store that offers to let you set up a wishlist of items you really DO want... until you wind up getting duplicates of the same gift.
- Noted that people's opinion on gifts can change over time; whilst receiving socks as a kid is considered lame as you probably would rather get a cool toy, getting funny, colourful, or nerdy socks as an adult is considered charming as a person can get you something practical but still potentially fun.
- In the UK, gift sets of Lynx deodorant (Lynx being the Market-Based Title for Axe) became so common as a throwaway Christmas gift for men that it reached memetic levels, followed by it becoming something of an ironic Christmas tradition for that reason (something Lynx's marketing team is perfectly happy to encourage).
Well, Christmas Gifts Can Be Lame, But Cool! - R.T
