My Mom Went To Australia And All She Got Me Was This Lousy T Shirt But What Else Could She Get Me?



What should I bring back for the relatives and friends?

This perennial question exists for holidaymakers wanting to return home with gifts for families and friends.

Boomerangs and Didgeridoos are items representative of native Australian culture.

These hand painted artifacts are usually colorfully adorned with paintings and etchings and look great in the store, but would end up in the basement with all the other useless stuff.

So what are you going to do?

Stick with the unoriginal, unimaginative, yet pragmatic.

Buy them a T Shirt.

It will always be useful. If they like it they will wear it, but if they don’t, then they can give it away to their friends.
If none of their friends want it and it gets handed back, they can still use it for sleeping in.
If they refuse to sleep in it then they can use it to wash the car.
If they prefer automated car washes then they can use it to clean the bathroom or wipe down the dog’s kennel.
Heck, at these low prices and with all these alternative uses, it’s a best buy. Even as a cleaning aid.

t-shirts and towels seems to be the safest gift item to everyone...it's basic unless you want to be unique and intend to impress, then give them ferrarri sports car.
