Is it tacky...

toni · 12-16-2007, 03:23 PM

to give meat as a Christmas gift? I saw an awesome deal from Omaha steaks and I think it is a great gift idea. What do you guys think?

Here is the link if you want to check it out.

Not tacky at all. We get a 1/4 of a beef every Christmas from my husband's parents, and really appreciate it. Those steaks look pretty good.

elle camino · 12-16-2007, 03:29 PM

it's totally tacky, but who cares. some of the best gifts are tacky.

hell my aunt gave me a crochet toilet roll cozy a few years ago, and i still use the hell out of that thing. and it makes me smile every time i see it.

I would give a gift certificate for meats/seafood...I wouldn't ever give some one a gift bag full of meat though.

goofy girl · 12-16-2007, 03:50 PM

If the recipient is a steak lover, then I think it's a great gift!! It's functional and original, and thoughtful!!

Missy9579 · 12-16-2007, 05:33 PM

Not at all. their stuff is great!

AnnMarie · 12-16-2007, 05:35 PM

There is nothing tacky about Omaha Steaks... they're pricey and great. For someone who is a steak eater/appreciator, I think it would be a really nice gift, and one they're not likely to splurge on themselves.

HA HA HA HA, I think they dry ice it or something. That would be funny though...Merry Christmas, here is your bag of chicken thighs. Good idea for halloween too...LMAO

mossystate · 12-16-2007, 05:48 PM

LOL....yeah, not like they come to you in a blood stained brown paper bag...............mooooo. That is a wondeful price on that package.

There are some great king crab legs that I would be more than happy to get ( not from Omaha..another site ). Hell, you can leave those bad boys on my front step, ring the bell..and..run...

What is that saying...give people what they want/need, not what YOU want them to have/think they need.

:::in my best caveman voice::::

MEAT GOOD!!!

diggers1917 · 12-18-2007, 12:01 PM

Sounds interesting,

...just don't pile with the other presents under the tree, and it should be fine.

Horribly tacky!! Just horribly! Send them to me and I'll get rid of them for you.

qwertyman173 · 12-18-2007, 12:43 PM

Awesome give!!!

Just don't give it to a vegetarian!

HottiMegan · 12-18-2007, 02:38 PM

If you think the person would enjoy it, then it's not tacky at all!

Jane · 12-18-2007, 02:47 PM

1) Probably wrong board to ask that question
2) I gave my friends a ham that had been given to me last year for Christmas. They have reminded me THREE TIMES that they really liked it. Guess what they're getting this year.

I get these for my brother in law every now & again. He LOVES them. Omaha Steaks products are high quality (even the hamburgers taste great) and this makes the perfect gift for meat lovers, IMO.

wrestlingguy · 12-18-2007, 04:20 PM

I get some every year as a Christmas gift from my sister. Last year, she sent some shish kebabs from Omaha that were outstanding, and the year before some petite fliet mignons wrapped in bacon that were equally good.

Santaclear · 12-18-2007, 08:39 PM

Meat is just too real, especially in this day and age. This year, give the gift of fake meat.

vcrgrrl · 12-18-2007, 09:15 PM

I've seen a lot of their ads, and I always wondered how it taste. If it were me, I wouldn't mind a gift from them so I would say it's a fine gift to give.

Tooz · 12-18-2007, 09:17 PM

Tickity tickity tickity tack.

TheSadeianLinguist · 12-18-2007, 09:24 PM

I gave a gift cert to a grocery store (a NICE grocery store, though) to my landlady for Xmas, so I AM a questionable judge, but I say it's fine.

daddyoh70 · 12-19-2007, 05:49 AM

Have to go with the majority here. My brother has given me Omaha Steaks for Christmas the past 4 years. I love them.

Jane · 12-19-2007, 06:05 AM

Being a "give me a rose bush instead of a dozen cut roses" girl, I have to say that any non-useful present is wasted on me. Giving me something useful means you took the time to see what I needed and made your choices based on what I needed, not some notion at the last moment.

T_Devil · 12-19-2007, 08:46 AM

It's only tacky if you're giving it to a vegitarian. I don't think they would appreciate it. But meat as a present?

That should be fine. Meat good.
