So, while searching for an unusual Christmas gift I found many things that I found were useless and wasteful. But I wanted to find things that made us lazier or tried to modernize our way of living. I also wanted something that requires a lot of batteries or light just to look good (Yes, I was working for the extra points). This is what I thought was insane:
1. Lighted Oval Mirror.
This product requires light bulb : 2 -25w B9.5 Cand F Incand
What I find insane is that this mirror costs $320.00!!! Just because it has a light next to the mirror.

2. Smart shopper- Electronic Grocery List Organizer.
This product records and prints your list of groceries or other spoken commands and prints them. It requires 4 AA batteries. Why not just use a paper and pen to make your list? It cost about $95.00.

3. Bright feet Lighted Slippers.
This product is a pair of slippers with lights so you won’t stumble over yourselves. What ever happened to turning on your light or lamp? The slippers are LED lighted and
each pair requires 4 CR2032 batteries. It cost almost $40.00.

While these gifts may not be straight to the trash I think they are pretty useless. If we just the conventional way of doing things we will realize that it is a waste of money and energy to purchase these products. Trust me anyone can live without them.
