Why George Foreman grills make great emergency presents

It always happens – no matter how much you plan or how many gifts you buy, there always seems to be that one person that you weren’t expecting who gives you a gift over the holidays. There’s a lot of fumbling and you end up giving them whatever you can find to try and hide the fact that you really didn’t have anything for them in the first place.

What’s worse, since we’ve all received those emergency last-minute gifts, they’re usually pretty easy to spot, so even if you come up with something on-hand, it still ends up being pretty embarrassing for everybody involved. As a result, many try to keep emergency gifts on hand, just in case these situations pop up, but what makes a good emergency gift?

Our favorite choice, of course, is the small appliance emergency gift – particularly an electric grill. Why does it work so well? Mainly, because it’s something everyone can use and enjoy. Everybody eats, so why not give a gift that lets someone eat a little healthier without a lot of extra hassle? Also, a nice electric grill doesn’t come off like an afterthought gift, so you can avoid any awkwardness, too.

Now that you’ve got the idea, it’s time to choose the grill you’ll use for your emergency gifts. The biggest consideration here is probably going to be the price – the more emergency gifts you need to buy for those unexpected gift exchanges, the less you call really spend on each. If you need a lot of emergency gifts, you might want to consider doing something like the Champ™ Grill we have on sale on the website for $19.99 – that’s only $20 for an emergency present and it’s a lot more interesting than the standard gift card! There’s also a Champ™ Grill with 3 grill sponges that’s on sale for $29.99, so you can give the gift of good food and easy cleaning, all-in-one.

If you aren’t buying as many emergency gifts and you can go a little higher in price, then some of our medium grills might work well. Many are priced under $50 and include additional features like variable temperature control, removable plates and on/off security switches. If you’re exchanging with someone that you know already has a basic George Foreman grill, then you may want to consider giving them something that has a few more bells and whistles. So, if most of your friends and family already have a basic George Foreman grill, then a grill with a few more features may serve you better as your emergency gifts.

Whichever grill you choose, plan out how many tentative gifts you think you may or may not need, then if you can, buy a few more over that number to ensure you have all the presents you need. This way, you can be prepared this year to give the gift of great grilled food instead of worrying about those last-minute gift exchanges.
