Have you ever gotten slippers that have something really odd on them like pigs or cows? I just dont understand why people would buy those for someone unless it was some sort of gag gift. I can't imagine going through a store and saying - hey, let's get Uncle Dan some slippers with frogs on them, he will love to wear those around. Maybe for kids but c'mon, just get some dearfoams or something. If you own some of these do you wear them?

I would wear them for my kids, if someone got them for me but i would never buy them for myself or anyone else...except my kids, I love warm cozy slippers, that don't make noise and aren't too big...my dog would go crazy if they made some sort of noise everytime i walked on them....but it would be fun to watch her go nuts...she chases my 2 year old all around the house when she has her mickey mouse ones on...the kids love big funny slippers....have you seen the family guy ones at wal mart...I can picture some people actually walking around in them...some one like perter off of family guy...

Yes i have. I didnt really consider it odd though. I got a pair of slippers one year that had cats on them. My mom got them for me for christmas because i really loved cats. They were actually really cute and they kept my feet warm. I still wear them to this day.

I don't have any slippers that have characters on them. I would trip on those kind. My aunt did buy me a pair of fuzzy purple slippers last year and I wore them out they were so comfortable.

Quality and quantity, the two rules regarding any purchasing of gift. No matter how nice the gift is, if the gift is either terrible or not plentiful enough, the gift will not be a success. Also, make sure you can meet all the required charming needs.

i think if you really know the person and you think that person will dig that kind of gift then its okay. i used to have animal slippers when my children are still toodlers but now that they are teens we dont have anything like that in the house already.

Of course I will wear them! The bring some fun to my day. I actually am not very good with slippers since I tend to take them off anytime I sit down, and then I forget all about them when I get up. But I don't have anything against those funny slippers with animals or other things. I probably wouldn't buy them for someone else, though, unless I knew that they enjoyed it. But if someone gave me a pair of those I would wear them .
