Useful or not useful? That is the Question.

My family and I have been running our Gift Shop Out of the Blue in Devon for nearly 4 years now and the question arises more and more as to whether our customers are looking for useful gifts or whether they are just looking for novelty gift items that may not be useful but are entertaining and would make the gift receiver smile anyway.

In Out of the Blue and at www.a-choice-of-gifts.co.uk we try and cater for all types of gifts from Emma Bridgewater pottery and Doorstops (useful) to Funny/Philosophical Signs and Jellycat toys (many would say not so useful).

Over the next few posts I will be presenting to you alternately what we believe to be useful gifts that we sell, which can also have the novelty factor and those gifts that customers believe to be not so useful but which I will try to show can also be useful in their own ways.
