I personally love the gag gifts, and the funny but practical ones too (windshield wiper fluid – hysterical!), but I’ve learned the hard way you gotta know your audience. I was new to a book club and brought Amy Sedaris’ “Hospitality Under the Influence” book for our holiday gift exchange. It’s jokey and funny but also contains real recipes and entertaining tips. I was so embarrassed by the frosty reception it received that I “stole” it back and let the recipient have my scented candle (or whatever I had gotten, LOL, can’t remember). I didn’t last long in that book club. :))
