I vaguely recall her recommending a big screen TV or something inappropriately expensive that nobody would ever buy as a gift. But I hope she has some kitchen stuff on this year's list. It amuses me when she writes about these things as if she's the first person who ever owned them.<br /><br />And you can be sure she'll link to all of it through her Amazon site without telling everyone she stands to make money off the purchase after positively endorsing something, believing the one time she mentioned it in passing two years ago was enough of a disclosure.Clever Pseudonymnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2048715035467766557.post-17395126864199261452009-12-06T10:42:36.336-05:002009-12-06T10:42:36.336-05:00The ugly genius in Megan's buying guide posts ...The ugly genius in Megan's buying guide posts is in the bragging she does as she describe the gift.
