To think Ferrero rocher is a lazy gift!!

[MrsA2015]

Ferrero rocher are nice I guess, but to give as a gift at a party you've had plenty of notice of...probably being totally U and ungrateful. Boxes of roses and quality street also fall into this bracket of lazy gifts IMO...

Oh god tulies

Not necessarily party gifts but gifts in general -

Wine from your own stash - lazy
Gift voucher - lazy
Money in an envelope - lazy
On-line purchase and sent to recipient gift-wrapped - lazy
Getting your PA to buy, wrap and send gift - lazy
Bouquet of garage flowers - lazy
A delicious box of original FR giving lots of thought to the recipient and patiently queued up for in Tesco or similar - not lazy and much appreciated

Lazy or not, they were on my mum's Xmas List so she's getting some!

(although she is getting other stuff too so hopefully that means I'm not lazy)

I hope someone's lazy enough to get me some. 😋

I always get a box from MIL for my birthday, I look forward to them :)

My birthday's just after christmas and I alway get a nice christmas present from her so I can understand it being hard to think of two nice presents in a month!

I hate them but it's no worse a gift than a bottle of wine or box of lindor.

Oh dear. I brought my mum a box from DD for xmas.

In my defence, she's a pain to buy for.

TABU. I think they are lovely.

Ferrero Rocher are not even nice
Well, quite. Give me 'boring, old-school Thorntons' any bloody day.

As for your DD's grandparents, Evans... Words fail me.

If I were having a party, Ferrero Rocher would be the ideal gift, they are my favourite chocolate.

Yeah, the pound/Euro shop. Nasty, plastic,eighties pseudo chocolate.

I don't like them, but I still don't think they're a BAD gift because how would somebody else know I didn't like them.

I'd prefer just chocolate brazil nuts though if you're asking.

YABU. If they're good enough for the ambassador, they're good enough for me.

Yeah it is lazy. but i like them, so its ok.

my son saw that ad years ago and said that they should unwrap them before serving them. I agreed. Imagine going to a posh do and having to unwrap your own food.

They might be lazy, but surely most gifts are, especially the sort of thing you take when you go to a party? You go to a party, you know you ought to take something, and it ends up being wine, chocolates or flowers, normally. And none of them require any more thought than scanning the shelves for what looks alright.

I bloody love FR though. I hope someone gets me some for Christmas now.

Now I love them, but would never but them for myself, however they are a filler present. You buy them to go with something else.

YANBU

They taste like cardboard.

YABU

And I really want Ferrero Rocher now

They're Christmas food to me, like mince pies.

I think as a gift for attending a party, a 'lazy' gift is normal - chocolates, wine, flowers.

What do you expect to receive in return for hosting a party?

This thread is full of ungrateful people. Considering some of the terrible gifts people post about on here Ferrero rocher is nothing to complain about., YABU

Ferreros are lovely.

Money in an envelope is appreciated here

YABU! I love them and love to receive them as a gift!
