I love getting fun, nonsensicle gifts. Even though I need a new shampooer to make my life better, I'd rather get a basket full of my favorite candy and some fun socks. My friend on the other hand loves practical gifts. More of a "Here are all the things I need for my house that I have not been willing to buy myself, so now I am going to ask someone else to get it for me."
Practical Gifts Vs Fun Gifts, what kind of gifts do you like to receive? The winner will be announced later this week.

Vote for your favorite and we will announce the winner on Friday so stayed tuned!
