People Are Giving “Boomerang Gifts,” a Present That Benefits Them Too

What's the big Christmas present you're giving your significant other this year? A giant flatscreen smart TV? Dinner at an upscale restaurant? A trip to Hawaii(if so I will cram my fat butt in your suitcase)?

If so, congratulations. Apparently you're part of this year's new trend called "boomerang gifts," and you may not even realize you did it.

A boomerang gift is when you give someone a present that also benefits yourself as well. Taking someone to a couples spa benefits you, getting them a sweet new iPad also benefits you, five seasons of "Ghost Adventures" also benefits you, or me rather.

Anyway I digress...

A new survey found it's becoming more and more popular, to the point where the majority of people are doing it now.

The top boomerang gifts are box sets of TV shows, boxes of chocolate, and movies. Wait, who buys box sets of TV shows anymore with Netflix and HULU and all that jazz?
