These are very quaint.....what a different time. When you think about it, a vacuum cleaner might have cut a workload in the home substantially. I remember my MIL telling me how wonderful it was to get an automatic washer and dryer when they came out. She said it was like heaven. Thanks Hermione. hugs - lillie
Hermione.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing just thinking about my wife's reaction to some of these adverts.
I am sure Ron will have some fun items for you.
Hug,
joey
Lol, I was looking at those bad ads the other day, too! I love that she's laying next to the vacuum, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat wife doesn't look interested in the Kenwood chef. I think she has chosen for "Le chef de la Famille".

I can tell you those are not Christmas, birthday, Mother's Day anniversary gifts for any woman I have ever known. Those are necessities not gifts.
ReplyDeleteMy husband made that mistake the first year we were married - he has learned well.
I'm happy to say P has never bought me an essential house gift for Christmas or birthdays.
ReplyDeleteThe old ads do make me smile. Thanks Hermione.
Have a great weekend.
Love,
Ronnie

My Man has yet to try to buy me something like that for a holiday. He is a good man.
ReplyDeleteThe last ad made me LOL it might as well have said "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" ;-)
This are definitely appropriate for Friday Fail! lol Have a nice weekend Hermione! :)
ReplyDeleteHermione, I actually have that Kenwood Chef! And the remark is exactly what Starman would say! Help!!!
ReplyDeleteI remember our first Christmas after we were married. We were as poor as Church mice, so we went halves on a coffee maker.
And I have to ask you, does it really make us any happier if we ask for something with Dior on it for Christmas?
Have a great weekend. Hugs, Ami
Joey - Probably the sane as mine:)
ReplyDeleteElle - So submissive!
Bas - I think so too.
Lillie - I remember the old wringer washers, and before that my gran had a scrub board.
Sunny - I'm glad you have him trained.
Ronnie -Ron gave me a pressure cooker on our first Christmas together.
Young Lady - I hope he gives you lovely, frivolous gifts this year.
Grace - Fails indeed, for this day and age.
Ami - Welcome! No, it doesn't make us any happier. (Actually, I would LOVE a Kitchen Aid mixer.)
Hugs,
Hermione
I better never get a vacuum as a gift! Thank goodness my darling is not like that!
ReplyDeleteEpic Fail! If I got a vacuum for Christmas Bucko and I would be having a serious talk... it wouldn't be pretty.
ReplyDeletedefinite fails. What many women who blog would choose though would be a spanked bottom.
ReplyDeleteMay your Christmas wishes come true.
bottoms up

Minelle - I gave Ron one once, but he had requested it.
ReplyDeleteTL Bucko - Not a gift most women would want.
Red - That's top of my list, and best of all, it doesn't cost anything, but it's priceless.
Hugs,
Hermione
