Gentlemen,

For gifts from my beloved wife, daughters and good friends, this year I have selected to receive gift certificates from my favorite shaving product vendors.

Every year everyone complains of confusion in trying to buy me gifts for Christmas, birthday or other special occasions. Now I have made it easy.

Gift certificates from my favorite shaving vendors would be most appreciated.

Allow me to suggest this plan to those who wish to opt out of the piles of socks or shirts for gifts and instead reach for the stars: Gift certificates for shaving products and straight razors.

Somehow I get the feeling I will not hear any complaints from any of you gentlemen on this idea. Unless, of course, you know of a rich uncle who might decide to present you with a Rolls Royce for Christmas, which is understandable.

Regards,

Obie
