<\/a>The EZ Scrambler.<\/p><\/div>\n
That may sound spoiled of me, to assume that anyone would ever give me presents to begin with, (and trust me\u2014few do<\/em>!,) but I\u2019m just trying to save everyone the money and hassle by eliminating so many possibilities.<\/p>\n But, I promise you, I\u2019m tickled pink to receive any<\/em> gift from anyone<\/em> at anytime<\/em>! I love seeing what people pick-out for me, even if they\u2019re a tad nutty. For example, for one of my birthdays, Lynn Redgrave gave me an e-word scrambler, which was an \u201cAs Seen On TV\u201d product. First of all, it was a tacky item from the get-go, and worse, as most of you know by now…I hate e-words! But I loved the craziness of the product, so I still have it. Even crazier is that, in my overfilled abode, I know where it is!<\/p>\n For a different birthday, a very wealthy, handsome, and hip man gave me a gallon-container-size statue of…a cockroach! From a very expensive and happening store. My friends and I screamed when I opened the box. The card stated some romantic sentiment, which was even nuttier than the bug! But it\u2019s one of my few long-ago bday gifts that stands out in my mind to this day.<\/p>\n A version of my “Multiple Heads” planter, but mine was even worse!!!<\/p><\/div>\n And then there was the infamous \u201cMultiple Heads.\u201d That was my gang\u2019s name for the weirdo planter that a male pal gave me for yet another birthday! Besides the unattractiveness of it, the bigger news is that…I don\u2019t do plants! Shockingly, the friends who were here when I opened it vied for me to regift it to them<\/em>. The winner was thrilled, and one of the \u201closers\u201d still bemoans not getting it. Go figure.<\/p>\n But, I swear\u2014I really do<\/em> like good<\/em> presents better than these nutty ones. Even so, as the girl who has much, if not everything<\/em>, in life, I really do appreciate the creativity.<\/p>\n All that being said, just so there\u2019s no confusion in the future, (hopefully the near<\/em> one,) here\u2019s a list of items I absolutely do not ever need<\/em>! And I guess I\u2019ll find-out which of my friends are supportive enough to read INAM<\/em> by if they still give me the products on this list. (Clever, eh?)<\/p>\n So here goes:<\/p>\n ITEMS I NEVER NEED<\/strong><\/p>\n Gold Jewelry<\/p>\n Wallets<\/p>\n Skin Creams (except ones for the neck<\/em>!)<\/p>\n Lip Balms<\/p>\n Socks<\/p>\n Nail Polish<\/p>\n Make-up of any kind<\/p>\n Shampoos and other hair products<\/p>\n Writing instruments<\/p>\n Notebooks<\/p>\n Nightgowns<\/p>\n Robes<\/p>\n Slippers<\/p>\n Vitamins and supplements<\/p>\n Blankets<\/p>\n Towels<\/p>\n Cell phone accessories<\/p>\n Books<\/p>\n Alcohol, of any kind (because I don\u2019t drink! Duh.)<\/p>\n Hand creams<\/p>\n Tee-shirts<\/p>\n Caps<\/p>\n On the flip side, you\u2019ll never believe the one thing I really, really, really do<\/em> need. I\u2019ll give you a second to think of it.<\/p>\n After an hour of searching on the internet, I still could not find an image of a bowl that even comes close to the one I broke! But this one makes my mouth water, so here it is.<\/p><\/div>\n Ready? It\u2019s…bowls! Of all<\/em> kinds\u2014serving, cereal, and especially big salad ones. (I just broke my giant flat-ish salad serving bowl a few weeks ago, and I can’t find another one like it!)<\/p>\n And I can never get enough of silver jewelry and high-end dark chocolate candy. And good knives. (Not to use on Mr. X, I promise, though I have<\/em> threatened. But that\u2019s a story for another time.) And, of course, services are my fave gifts ever. I need<\/em> them all (massages, manis, pedis, facials\u2014you name it,) and even better\u2014they don\u2019t take up any room in my house, for Mr. X to yell about! So it\u2019s a win-win-win, meaning a no-brainer for the giver<\/em>, (and easy to send for them, too,) something I love, and Mr. X<\/em> is happy about it.<\/p>\n<\/a><\/a>
