I’ve been reading a few blogs and have noticed a couple of entries discussing what to get domainers for Christmas.  After pondering about my own Christmas list I kept thinking about items that I wouldn’t want to receive for Christmas.  Now don’t get me wrong, I am all about giving.  After all I was born on December 25th and have had the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful holiday year after year.

Enough mushy talk, let’s get on with three presents not to get a domainer for Christmas!

1.  A Domain Name

A word of advice, before buying a gift for a domainer!  Do not make the mistake of purchasing a domain name that you think the domainer would like.  I don’t care if you had good intentions in doing so!  This act alone might actually spark a conversation you might not want to have during the holiday season.  Save yourself the time and despair by staying far away from such an idea.

2.  A Pre-Paid Legal Membership

Where to begin with this.  So your significant other or friend occasionally speaks about the legal aspects of domaining.  You figure, since there are so many legal concerns I will purchase my favorite domainer a pre-paid legal membership and they will get all of the legal counseling there heart desires. WRONG! Pre-Paid Legal services are a joke when it comes to the domaining world.  The advice that such a service provides you with could actually cause your favorite domainer more problems then anything else.

3.  A GoDaddy T-Shirt

Just because a few of us tend to use the GoDaddy website, doesn’t mean we want to sport the brand!  I might upset a few people with this, but isn’t the GoDaddy brand a bit corny?  I mean the marketing obviously works for the company but has anyone actually been impressed with the quality of commercials that have been released? I could go on and on with this!

I tend to utilize GoDaddy to register domains for cheap prices.  I haven’t found a service which has cheaper domain registration coupons then GoDaddy.  Other then that, you won’t find me at your local restaurant or bar wearing a GoDaddy t-shirt!

If you want to buy a domainer a t-shirt make sure there is a Moniker logo located on the front of it.

So there you have it!  Three presents to stay far away from this Christmas!  Don’t even think about getting a domainer these three things!  You’ll thank me later for it.
