What NOT To Give

I came across a website with some vintage magazine ads for Christmas gifts.  Here are a few of my favorites:

I can’t remember for sure, but I may have actually given someone a carton of cigarettes – not Chesterfields, though – I do know we used to give my grandfather a big canister of pipe tobacco.

It wasn’t just movie stars making suggestions; even Mrs. Claus got into the act, promoting an ironing board with legs designed to let you sit down while you work.

And finally, anyone who would give this last one as a Christmas gift had to have a death wish:

SCALE
