I remember getting some shampoo that was in an ad on tv for Christmas. It was called, “Gee, your hair smells terrific!” and came in a pink bottle. My older brother made fun of me for that, so my joy didn’t last for long.

I got deodorant once. It seemed strange and I was less than appreciative as a teen. Years later, I realized it was a thoughtful and useful gift given by an aunt who was a Catholic nun, and had sort of got herself shunned because of her inability to be tactful and had little to spend on gifts for family members. I am a bit sad for not realizing what a gift it was.

No but I frequently get socks. But it’s a special expensive brand that I request.

Everyone in the family got framed motivational posters from my son a few years ago. His employer went bankrupt a few days before Christmas and he was unemployed. He liberated them from his employers now closed office.

The funny part was, a few months later his new employer bought his former employers shop. Some people were joking about how they even took the posters off the walls. He never told them it went toward Christmas.
