Bad Gift Hall of Fame Seeks Entries

Bad Gift Hall of Fame Seeks Entries ATLANTA, Jan. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Didn't get what you wanted this holiday season? Now you can join men nationwide in doing something useful with those tacky ties and petrified fruitcakes littering the floor of your closet -- send them to the Bad Gift Hall of Fame. Unlike its Baseball or Rock & Roll counterparts, this hall of fame doesn't require any special talents. Membership can be had by sending in that ugly orange sweater knit by Aunt Edna (bless her departed soul) for your 21st birthday or the autographed Celine Dion poster your ex-girlfriend gave you in 1997. In return, you could win a trip for two to Las Vegas or a set of All-In Chips, the first all clay chip set available at a value price. Visit http://www.badgifthalloffame.com/ to learn more. "Bad gift giving has reached epidemic proportions," explained Chad Salenius, President and co-founder of All-In Chips, the creator of the Bad Gift Hall of Fame. "Many men either suffer in silence or 'regift' as quickly as possible. We're trying to break that bad gift giving cycle for good by highlighting bad gifts and providing smart gift giving tips in the future." The Bad Gift Hall of Fame will exist virtually at first, with participants featured online with their bad gifts of choice. Disgruntled gift recipients can send the worst present they've ever received, along with a color photograph of themselves using/wearing/pretending to enjoy the heinous gift, to: All-In Chips, Bad Gift Hall of Fame, 2386 Johnson Ferry Road, Atlanta, Georgia 30341. Tell us why it's a bad gift for you and include your name, address, e-mail and phone number in the packet. The deadline for submissions is April 1, 2005. All-In Chips ( http://www.all-inchips.com/ ) produces premier, Las Vegas style, casino-quality poker chip sets for the poker-playing public. In December 2004, their chip sets were recognized as top holiday gift picks by InStyle, Penthouse, Men's Edge and Razor magazines and featured as part of the celebrity gift pack during the 2005 Critics' Choice Awards. The company was founded in August, 2003, by former advertising executives and poker enthusiasts Chad Salenius and Jason Russell after the two friends became intrigued by the growing consumer interest in poker.
