Friday FAIL

All I want for Christmas is...


Hmm, I don't see anything there I want. Maybe I need to shop around.



That's it!



Ron has his own ideas about a suitable gift.

  1. Hermione.

    I 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,

  2. Lol, I was looking at those bad ads the other day, too! I love that she's laying next to the vacuum, lol.

  3. That wife doesn't look interested in the Kenwood chef. I think she has chosen for "Le chef de la Famille".

  4. 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

  5. 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.

    My husband made that mistake the first year we were married - he has learned well.

  6. I'm happy to say P has never bought me an essential house gift for Christmas or birthdays.

    The old ads do make me smile. Thanks Hermione.

    Have a great weekend.

    Love,
    Ronnie

  7. My Man has yet to try to buy me something like that for a holiday. He is a good man.

    The last ad made me LOL it might as well have said "barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen" ;-)

  9. Hermione, I actually have that Kenwood Chef! And the remark is exactly what Starman would say! Help!!!

    I 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

  10. Joey - Probably the sane as mine:)

    Elle - 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

  12. Epic Fail! If I got a vacuum for Christmas Bucko and I would be having a serious talk... it wouldn't be pretty.

  13. definite fails. What many women who blog would choose though would be a spanked bottom.
    May your Christmas wishes come true.

  14. Minelle - I gave Ron one once, but he had requested it.

    TL 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
