ExcitedEYE Unique Gift Shopping

Tommy asked:

I remember one year I went to buy some rapping paper and Christmas lights and everything there said “holiday” on it. Even the Christmas trees were called “holiday trees.”

When I look at comercials that have someone putting a present under a tree, and then saying “Happy Holidays” to his wife or kids I find it a little absurd. Hershey also had a section for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, but no section for Christmas. Even now there are tons of items for Hanukkah and Kwanzaa but very few that say “Merry Christmas.”

Why would a store that is selling items to people that are celebrating Christmas not put Christmas on the package, or use Christmas in their ads? Who gets excited about buying “holiday cards” or “holiday gifts?”

About 90% of American celebrate Christmas, and something like 96% enjoy Christmas. I don’t anyone would be offended by a store calling Christmas trees Christmas trees. What’s going on here?
Look at the items Hershey sells under the Christmas heading.

I can’t find a single one that says “Merry Christmas.” Contrast that to the ones under Hanukkah that say “Happy Hanukkah “.

Is anyone honestly offended if a store offers a candy under the “Christmas” section that says “Merry Christmas”? Who are the people making these decisions?
I still don’t understand this from a marketing perspective. You know 90% of people are coming in to buy Christmas presents. You play Christmas music in your store. You seel Christmas trees, cards, lights, and all the rest. But you don’t put Christmas on anything you sell and instead put “holiday?” I don’t think anyone that does not celebrate Christmas is offended by having a Christmas tree called a Christmas tree or a piece of candy that you can buy that says “Merry Christmas.”

OK. After watch my Christmas gift under the tree for several days I just jump there and took out a little (very little) piece of gift wrap in one corner, just to see what color the box was. Well, the box is black in the sides and white with a few red stripes above… It is big, like 22 x 14 and is very heavy! I don’t have any idea of what it can be since I have like two months trying that my husband understand that all that I want is a purse… but of course it is not a purse and honestly I am not expecting a purse because my husband always give me something that I don’t ask… To be honest something inside me was wishing that it be a plain box just for imagine my purse inside but now that I know is a white box with black and red stripes…
I know is a little silly but I just want to play a little and maybe feel I’m a little girl again… any suggestions about what can be??? Remember, 22×14, black in the sides and white in the back and front with a few red stripes… Lol
Mitzy: He always do something like that (put the gift in another box) but I am the one that keep boxes in this house and I never saw a box like that one. For that I was thinking it maybe was a normal box (like the ones you receive in the mail) with something heavy inside + my puuurse…. but now I feel like… ooookkk
Another thing is that my husband hate shopping because of the crowded in holidays one day I woke up and he don’t was here. Suddenly he was in the house with bags from Target… and the next day I saw the box there…
My purse is not from Target.
My husband is in vacations, he is always in home so I know he don’t went any place different than Target…
I feel guilty because is s many people without gifts in the world but man…. honestly I feel a little sad now… Haha
Jesse: It is heavy. I can’t shake it.
I was thinking about electronics but I don’t need any thing like that.
Well, my husband gave me in Chritsmas 2 years ago …. a printer!!!!!!
After that everything is possible.
Update!!!
I was looking very carefully in the “little hole” that I made and I saw something like “133 pieces” so I went to Target.com and I found that this http://www.target.com/Black-Decker-133-pc-Home-Project/dp/B000V4T0N8/sr=1-1/qid=1198303334/ref=sr_1_1/602-9050938-6699054?ie=UTF8&index=target&rh=k%3A133&page=1 have 133 pieces!!!
My husband will give me this? I am sure. Just see: the box is black, white with red stripes, super heavy… if is not this I will change my name! Maybe I should buy some makeup for him? I think is a joke.
Seriously… I want to cry.
