There is one thing I hate about getting gifts from casinos - why do they
always put some sort of brand name on them? Thus making it hard for you to
give away the gift item to a relative or friend. I just received a nice
Coby Digital Picture Frame as a surprise gift from Harrahs (for the 7*
signature event). But they just HAD to stick a big label on the frame that says
"Signature Event Las Vegas 2010". Not only don't I need a digital picture
frame, they also sent one to my husband, another 7* player.
So now we have 2 nice frames we don't need or want to use. I'd love to
give them to my nieces as Christmas gifts. But - what do I tell them about
the non-removable label?? It is obvious I'm regifting the gifts. I can't
really sell them either.
Argh.
This happens all the tiime, on everything from coolers to clocks to
salt&pepper sets. It is one thing for a casino to want to brand name t-shirts or
tote bags, but why brand name everything from the cheap to the expensive
that goes inside someone's home?
Also, no doubt it costs the casinos more to plaster on their brand onto
these items than to have them sent plain. And instead of making those of us
who receive them happy, we sit wondering how we can give the extra stuff we
can't use away without offending our relatives and friends.
Wake up casino marketing!!!!
Once again, ARGH!
