15 Worst Holiday Gift Ideas

It's that time once again. You rack your brains trying to think of suitable gifts for everyone on your gift list. In my case, I'm trying to come up with ideas for soon-to-be family members (Eric's family, so I guess "in-laws" would be the correct term) who I'll be meeting for the first time at Christmas, as well as those I met earlier in the year. With Eric's help, I think I've got some ideas that won't break the bank.

However, I heard about this article on the radio this morning and had to check it out. It's amusing and it will help you avoid some of the traps of gift-buying.

The great thing about Eric and my relationship is that we can gently make fun about such topics as MEN and WOMEN. So when this arrived in my mailbox, I felt comfortable sending it to him, knowing he'd find it amusing and not be offended by it.
