It was the most popular present at this year’s family Christmas!
Instead of drawing names as you have in the past, this year your husband’s family decided to have a white elephant exchange. For your part both you and your husband purchased and wrapped one of the most popular insulated cups with a lid and combined that travel gift with a car adaptor that provided both electrical outlets and USB ports. You were pretty proud of your decision and were pleased when both of your gifts were stolen the three time limit.
When the gift giving was over, however, you had to admit that the even more popular gift on the man’s side was the package that contained beer gifts. Two large insulated stainless steel beer growlers and a pass to next year’s Oktoberfest were a great idea for a family that loves to drink and taste new beers.
