Not Too Practical

I’ll never forget our first Christmas after we were married.  My husband bought me the following gifts: a can opener, a doormat and a toaster.  He meant well, and yes, we needed all of those things, but not as gifts for his true love!!!  Needless to say, he learned the tough lesson that gifts aren’t supposed to be practical.  He took it well, and for the most part, still applies that advice today.

Many of you may have fallen into that trap, buying things that you know she needs.  Key bit of advice here – don’t buy her practical household items for gifts.  She may need it, but she doesn’t need it as a gift from you.  She can go to the store and buy it on her own.

That is why, on LubDub.com, we don't have many practical items.  We do have some products for the home, but they are things that she wouldn't buy for herself.  We highlight the best of the best gifts for her kitchen, bath and other little luxuries.

This post is exactly why we started LubDub.com, to help you find gifts for her that aren't practical!
