Surprising somebody with a new Hoover is probably not such a good idea. But may I just say--it is perfectly acceptable to give somebody a vacuum cleaner for a gift, if they ask for one.

Or any other appliance, really. If somebody truly wants that, why not make them happy?

I submit that anyone is foolish enough to give a wife items intended for household maintenance, such as a Hoover, for a Christmas present might well have to resort to said Hoover for wifely companionship well into the New Year.

A friend of my parents gave his wife a vacuum cleaner for Christmas back in the 1950s. Even I, a child, knew he was in trouble for that.

Still gotta say--having spent more years than I care to remember wrestling with a vacuum that sucked in every way but the one that counted, I would have just about swooned with joy at a new vaccum under the tree, about 1992 or so.
