Gifts

It’s also a little strange for parents to give it, like saying, “Here’s something to help you survive my tricky child this year!”

I know some people probably have their reasons for not wanting a gift.... I guess you're gonna have to take the knowledge I've given and just... apply it to your situation.

And nobody will kick my bag or make strange comments about my weight. 

And to be real, I'm sure some of you have dealt with this - if you have one of Those Husbands, you won't have a Christmas Gift under the tree unless YOU put it there.

These things are so cute!

My dad used to work as a door greeter at the Hannibal, Missouri Walmart, so I consider myself something of an expert of the trillions of strange things you can get there. Limiting it to just the strangest 7 is difficult.

Struggling to find the perfect gift for a country music-loving mom this Mother's Day? Check out Taste of Country's new spring merchandise line!

I will admit that I'm not a great gift giver, so perhaps I shouldn't be the one giving tips on what you should or shouldn't give your wife for Mother's Day. However, now that I think about it, I really am an example of things you should never give your wife if you're a Missouri man like I am.

If you're significant other loves animals, The Kansas City Zoo and Aquarium has a cool Valentine's Day gift. Best part, proceeds benefit the zoo's animals!

My dad worked for the US Postal Service in Missouri for more than 3 decades. He never brought gifts home and now I understand why. There are rules about what postal carriers/mail men/mail women can accept as gifts and I'm genuinely surprised at the list of do's and don'ts.
