Interest rates are down, are they not?
Petrol is down?
Food prices may come down next year.

So ... time to spend and drive the economy -- the Chinese economy that is.
 
While I didn't think of myself as a "practical and value gift" kinda shopper, the article kinda hit home based on what I bought for people this christmas.
However, it's what they wanted, rather than what I thought to buy them, so I guess people's wants have changed, and the buying pattern is the result.
My useless Captain Obvious post for the year :)
 
Hell no... :D...

I have better things to spend my money on, than useless gifts that people will throw away soon after I've given it to them....

LOL, and a new ironing board, new broom, new vacuum cleaner, some mops, lots of detergent and some toilet brushes. Yeah practical gifts I think are great. On the other hand she can reciprocate with a home appliance for you - a new big screen TV. That's a home appliance, no?
