They run 45-75 dollars now – not a bad present.

Yep. Nor will we be giving people walk-in baths, car tires or hair styling.

Well, they are more interesting than the political stuff that filled the recycle bins until Nov elections. Really glad that’s over and dreading the big one.

I did notice on Black Friday that my UBlock wasn’t working. The ads slowed my computer to a crawl, and I don’t exchange presents, advertisers!

Much better than clothes they will never wear or a book they will never read.

Why not?

I guarantee you know someone who would LOVE a free oil-change for christmas.

Well, I could use a wheel alignment.

Actually, that’s not a bad gift for college students, young families, etc. Anything, that helps them avoid costly car repairs is a great gift. :)

Hey, Experiences are better than Things, right? Who wouldn’t appreciate being able to go through the oil-change-express-lane, for free???

I must have an amazingly small electronic footprint. I get almost no spam ads on my phone and very few (less than one a day) spam calls.

My USPS Mailbox, however, gets every ad, political flyer, request for charitable donations, etc., that has ever been printed. There are almost no bills since I handle them electronically.

My driveway is about 300 feet long. I pass the recycle bin on my way indoors. Most of the mail stops there.

If it’s synthetic, take it!!
