Is Plastic Surgery a Good Christmas Gift?

There is someone on your Christmas list that you've put off shopping for until the last minute. That's because you're thinking about getting them a gift certificate to get plastic surgery, but you're not quite sure whether or not that's a good idea. On the one hand, you're fairly certain that the gift would be both used and appreciated. On the other hand, you're worried that you're committing a faux pas by more-than-hinting that someone needs a little help with their appearance. Is plastic surgery a good Christmas gift to give?

Whether or not to give the gift of plastic surgery really depends on how well you know the person that you are gifting. If you are close and the two of you have discussed plastic surgery before but the issue of cost has been a barrier to the person, giving this gift could be a great way to help someone out. Additionally, if you know someone that has gotten plastic surgery in the past and who may be considering it again, giving them a plastic surgery gift certificate will probably gain you points of appreciation. Finally, if you know someone that's thought about doing it but doesn't know enough about it, you can pay for the price of their initial consultation to get them additional information.

When you don't want to give the gift of plastic surgery is when you don't know the person you're gifting very well. Some people may be interested in a surgery such as a tummy tuck but would still take offense at others suggesting that they needed to lighten their load a little. Gifting in-laws, stepmothers and your husband's ex-wife with plastic surgery also requires erring on the side of caution. Gifting a girlfriend with a breast lift that the two of you have never talked about is also something to be wary of. Think ahead as to whether the gift will be received with the kindness you mean it or taken the wrong way.
