A Toaster As A Graduation Gift For Her????

But should they be gender pecific? I think it's the old sexit stereotype that's bugging people here. Isn't a toaster or mini fridge as good a gift for HIM as it is for HER?

You guys are funny, but not that funny, show me the money. Then I can buy my own stuff. I have yet to see a toaster in a college dorm. But then again, I don't watch very much television.

I totally agree. A toaster is a wedding or house warming gift.

I would think that a toaster would be far too messy for a college dorm. But I have never lived in one so I do not know how things work. I know as far as a school and being on time, I would want to keep it simple and fast and waiting for a toaster to pop up just doesn't play in to that.

Exactly, a wedding or housewarming gift is perfect. It also bothered me that they only offered appliances and only two little cheap ones at that. We women are so much more than that.

If you ask for it, that's different. I would be offended to recieve a household appliance for graduation.

Yeah, I read that too, after you sent me. You'e righ. It does go well with this whole discussion. I hadn't thought of that.

Awwww, that is so not fair, but it is true and therefore extremely funny. More fathers do not to teach this to their sons. I believe the world would run so much smoother if they did. I remember when I was in my early teens, my uncle gave my aunt a "Lakers," basketball for mother's day. He had been bugging her about losing weight. That still tops the list as the worst gift ever to me. But as the article stated, men give gifts that they feel will be useful. Then one Christmas when we were planning to move and my aunt was going to rent out the house that we were in, he did not give her a gift at all that Christmas. He told her that the bars that he had put on the house a few months ago, had been her Christmas gift. She ran home to her mother and for the first few days in the new house, she was not there. But somehow he made their relationship work. They were married for 27 years. He passed away this May and they were still very much in love.

I totally agree with what you are saying. Another thing that seems to have bothered me is the fact that the only gifts they had listed for a girls graduation was a toaster in three different colors and a mini frig. The list of gifts for women for any occasion should be the longest list of all. There are so many special things that we enjoy.

LOL!! What if you didn't have one and you were CRAVING some cinnamon toast? Huh?

That's is the way that it should be. If someone gave me a toaster for graduation and I did not ask for it, I would be grateful and probably offended at the same time.

I would think that a toast would be a luxury I could do without in college. They are far too messy anyway.

If it is something that I need, then that is fine. But did you notice on the page that the only gifts for her were appliances. I also think that a toaster is a little messy for a college dorm.

It sounds messy but when you consider that the only food a college student gets is cafeteria food. A few crumbs from the toaster is not bad.

I believe that a toaster would be an excllent wedding gift. But for graduation, I would want something more personal. A toaster would also be a nice housing warming gift.

Are you saying that boys do not make or eat toast?

Everyone wants to feel special when they accomplish something great. If someone were to give me a toaster for graduation, it would be someone who didn't know me very well.

I understand where you are coming from. I wouldn't mind a refrigerator like that if I were going off to college and would be living in a dorm, that would be cool.
