Not so model gift exchangers…
15 pc Drink Set
Sushi Set
Martini Set
Quesadilla Maker…
All gifts that my friends and I brought to an optional $20 dollar gift exchange for a work party. What did I end up getting?……a 1999 cd-rom edition of the World Book Encyclopedia for Kids with the box falling apart from years of moving from bargain bin to bargain bin of various Kmarts. What compels this model citizen to bring such a crap gift to an OPTIONAL gift exchange? This is worst than last year’s bottle of Preferred Stock cologne that I received from the gift exchange. At least that one was a $5-10$ gift exchange, so such a gift is expected.
Not only that, as I was opening the gift, I overheard somebody saying “that’s a gift for kids”. Gift for kids?!! Why did you bring this to an adult Christmas party? What are you thinking?! Not only is it a cheap crappy gift, it’s a gift for kids that you brought to an adult function, AND it’s also 7 years outdated!
So there you go, the first of many holiday model citizens to come. Check back for next years gift, maybe I’ll get Beaches special edition DVD or something…
