This week on the show we present a different kind of Gift Guide. Rather than present well-researched gifts for this season, we discuss how NOT to give gifts!
Show Notes
Topic: Gift Mistakes – based on the article: The Biggest Mistake People Make in Choosing Gifts By Dr. Bella DePaulo

- Worst gifts we have ever given
- Travis – deployment purse
- Brandon – Bunch of Chelsea mistakes
- Mistakes we make
- Trying for the wow factor
- trying for immediate enjoyment instead of over time
- Thinking the more thought you put into it the better
- More expensive does not equal better/more thoughtful
- trying to impress with high quality, but it is hard to use (tech)
