They’re always mentioning (on radio at least—can’t recall the tv spots) that their starter packs make a great gift. Unless you SPECIFICALLY ask for something to help thinning hair... who’s gonna be super stoked to get this kind of thing as a present? “Hey, honey, I don’t wanna spend the rest of our marriage calling ya ‘Baldy,’ so here’s some hair treatment to take care of that bald patch of lawn on the crown of your head... wait, what do you mean I’m sleeping on the couch tonight?” 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/15594-holiday-and-seasonal-commercials/page/22/#findComment-3845919
