Was it just plain shampoo and conditioner or one of those gift sets? I actually love the little gift sets with bath products or shampoo. If it was just plain shampoo that's kinda different but at least you can use it - better than some tacky statuette from Boy Howdy, isn't it?

Why not? I want to make this coming Christmas special by presenting my parents nice gifts. I saved money for this purpose. I am going to buy an e-book reader like Kindle for my dad as he’s a book worm. I have already bought a gift basket for my mom.

Someone who felt an obligation to provide a gift but couldn't afford more.
That old adage, "Never look a gift horse in the mouth," applies.
If you're fortunate enough to be able to give better presents, be happy.

What is wrong with that? I don't mind "useful" gifts, at least they don't have to spend money buying bath stuff for awhile, even though other people think it's tacky. It is the thought that counts.
It is like women receiving lotion, bath soap, and scrubs as a gift.

People who let others buy their gifts for them, someone without much money who wanted to give a 'useful' gift, or someone who just wanted to GIVE *something* and didn't realise their effort would be sneered at because it wasn't some expensive PlayStation costing thousands of dollars.
After all, I'm assuming these guys are old enough to wash their own hair?
Cheers :-)

My aunt who owns a beauty shop used to do that to me all the time! But try to squeeze a free haircut out of her and I'd be staring at the business end of a hissy fit! :)

Someone that stopped by a Walgreens on the way over and bought the first cheap thing they saw....

It's about the thought that counts. I know it sucks, but at the same time be grateful that you got something rather than nothing.
