When you're the leader, you don't have to follow.
I LOVE practical gifts. Baking sheets, pots and pans, a new vacuum. Love ' em all.

As do I!! I remember being baffled as to why she would want 4 different bottles of perfume. Then BF explained that the gifts MUST have NO practical value (after the incident).

I went to the dollar store for a bridal shower gift... spent $50 on household stuff- cleaners, dish towels, dryer sheets, etc... and packed it all into a laundry basket, wrapped it in towels. It was ungodly heavy and made a solid THUNK when it was put on the floor (too heavy for the table!).
The bride absolutely LOVED it. She praised the Basket O Crap and thanked me up and down. Said it was the best present ever.
I'm a big fan of practical gifts too... in fact, I find it hard to gift a 'non practical' present to someone :\
(I got my very first, very own, brand new set of cookware for my birthday and it was like the best thing that's ever happened to me- thanks Mom!)

My mom always buys my brother and I a bunch of practical gifts with a theme for Christmas. One year it was kitchen, once it way tools, and she also throws in random practical gifts such as a rotating fan, and a napkin holder. She started this back in high school and has been doing it ever since. Last Christmas she started getting me teacher supplies, too. We also have a closet filled with teaching supplies for me that my mom never used. In a corner of our storage room in the basement, we have a bunch of old furniture for when my brother and I move out. The rule is whoever moves out first gets their choice of dining room tables and sofas, etc. 
PS- We get other things for Christmas, too. She's not mean enough to get us only those types of gifts.

Nothing like walking outside in a t-shirt expecting it to be warm yesterday morning only to have to run back inside and get a winter coat.
Spring is nothing but a myth.

At least Don Draper has the smarts to look before entering the elevator.

My husband I an electrician and he texted me this morning that the job site was FREEZING - it's an unfinished building without heat and based on yesterday he figured he was dressed OK. Glad I whipped up a quick pot of matzo ball soup this morning for my daughter who was stayed home sick* from school today - sounds like hubby will be looking for a hot bowl of soup with dinner!
* by sick I mean faking sick.
