christmas gifts: don'ts

So many websites and blogs are listing some great Christmas gift buying guides. Undoubtedly helpful, especially to those of us that have yet to complete their shopping, there is however room to commit some major faux pas. Nothing is worse than the disgusted look or glazed over frozen faced "thank you" from a loved one as you give a present that says "I don't even know you" and/or "I hate you", rather than the intended "you're the best, Merry Christmas". The swiftest way to avoid disastrous results is to simply spell out what not to give. Here is my best advice for you all.
