Tacky Gifts
Which side of the fence are you on?
What do you think about tacky gifts?
Ah relax, get a sense of humor...if it's all in fun, then who cares? They're funny!
JaguarJulie says:
I LOVE tacky gifts -- I don't really CALL them tacky, you know, but either unique, eclectic, or CREATIVE!
noobeegin says:
Sometimes tacky gifts are warranted depending on the person giving or receiving.
annmackiemiller says:
good for a laugh with the right people. in a group of badminton friends there was one gift that was handed round every year, it just kept getting passed on.
All tacky gifts everywhere should be burned and no one should be allowed to sell tacky gifts to inexperienced shoppers.
prosperity66 says:
I'm generally open minded but I definitely hate to get gifts that I don't like neither want to keep in the house. What a waste of money...
While I hate them, I generally give them to associations which can have use of them.
whitemoss says:
I hate tacky gifts! I agree- at most, give a tacky card if you must.
jillian22 says:
Well, each gift given should represent true insight into another person's likes and or taste; if you do not know enough about someone, give them a gift card, cash or a restaurant coupon they can use.
fanfreluche says:
I don't give them (or at least I try not too), but did receive a couple of them. One was funny, the other was just that..tacky and unthoughtful.

- great lens! I agree 100%...inexpensive tacky gifts have a purpose, but we really should spend our money wisely to ensure the receiver enjoys the gift for years to come!
