An acceptable gift!

Continuing my Christmas theme for this week, we see here another advertisement from the Enlarged Christmas Number Woman's Pictorial of 1st December 1928. I guess that must have been a very expensive gift that only the most well-off could afford back then. In the 1930s my grandfather bought my grandmother a "Hoover" upright cleaner; this had a light to gently illuminate the floor as it went about its duties. The cleaner never broke down and I guess it might still work if I plugged it in and tried it - yes, that's right, I still have it!
