However, I cannot imagine anyone giving any one of the above items as a Christmas gift, except maybe for the football helmet hanging lamp that would be enjoyed by some football fans. Similar lamps are still popular in some circles but now mostly are replicas of actual team helmets.<br /><br />But back to the trash/treasure idea . . . Some years ago [maybe 12 to 15 years ago] some well-meaning person gave me a rather large gift certificate to a snooty restaurant. Sorry, that's not my style. I never did use that gift certificate. The Brussels Boy would have at least served a purpose, even though I would have only used Coca-Cola in it. :) Felix09noreply@blogger.com
