Is it offensive to give a girl a shaving kit?

[mAd_ScIeNtIsT]

In my Christmas hamper from my employer, I received a bunch of stuff my company makes including a Gilette Venus shaving kit with refills.

Seeing as I don’t have a woman in my life here in Canada, i was thinking of gifting it to one of my female cousins or female friends.

But I need to know, girls, would you be offended if a guy gave you a shaving kit?

If I knew the story behind it then I wouldn't take offense seeing it as somehting u have no use for and would like to pass it on, but if someone gave it to me as a gift then I would feel a little odd. Maybe not offended but certainly odd.

well u need to do it diplomatically. actually just put it in the living room and tell your mom or aunt how u got it and that u cant wait to get rid of it. dont GIFT it to them. tell them to take it and give it to someone who might use it ;) save them the embarassment

My initial reaction would be “Oh my dear GODDDDD…NOOOOO”

BUT if they are cousins and they know that it was given to you and you dont need it… itll be fine

BUT are you sure you wanna give it away

you sure dont you wanna use it …for scientific reasons

If it was from someone like my brother or fiance i wudn't care...if it's friends or cousins, only if i am close to them...otherwise it wud be weird i think, but not offensive at all.

waisay a woman's razor is perfect for the errrr.....delicate foot region. :)
u might also attach the refills in a circle to a pen and rotate it to clean your nose hair:)

In high school, the company that was responsible for making our year books gave out these ‘gifts’ to all the students. It was basically a shaving kit for men and women. At the time, everybody found it pretty useful, both girls and boys since plenty of girls shaved their legs.

If you were giving it to a complete stranger, she might be offended, but if it is someone you know very well, then you can pass it on … but I would give something else as well on top of the shaving kit like body lotions or a pedicure set.

as long as you tell them the story of how you got them, don't give it a gift though. just casually giving it to a friend or cousin should be fine.

I wont be offended but certainly embarassed to recieve a shaving kit from a male cousin/brother etc.

Maybe its just me.

Pass it onto a friend, explaining the gift - and not as a gift in itself, i.e. don't make it a part of your christmas present to them, but I would say its not polite to give it to a relative.

Re: Is it offensive to give a girl a shaving kit?

Maybe not offensive but definitely on the cheeky side, like giving a guy the nostril trimmer.

Re: Is it offensive to give a girl a shaving kit?

uuhhh-- not as a gift man
totally offensive- unless u know her really well as a friend and tell her the whole story and give it to her casually
or just give it to the salvation army or a homeless shelter

Re: Is it offensive to give a girl a shaving kit?

maybe just say, "hey, do you know anyone who can use this?"

some girls get embarrassed discussing hair removal with others.
