I have a brother-in-law that is clearly a waste of space. I don’t know what is wrong with my sister, but she married one of the most worthless people I have ever seen. For me to say something like that is rare, but there is nothing about this guy that I like, and I am not the only one in my family that wishes he would just go away. Not only does he not know how to hold a job, he doesn’t let my sister do anything with her family. On top of that, on the rare occasion that they do show up somewhere, he always makes a point to hit on me. He makes me sick. One year for Christmas I was given his name in our gift drawing, and I was not happy about having to buy him something. That was until I found the perfect gift. I got him a nose hair clipper from the discount rack.

Though I know there are great reasons to own a nose hair clipper, I knew that this would be something that would offend him. I didn’t care. I had had enough of him, and when I told my dad what I had bought for my beloved brother-in-law, he had to leave the room to laugh. This guy is truly a piece of work, and over the years he has proven to us that he is a big jerk, and that he does not appreciate my sister as he should. The nose hair clipper might offend him, but I knew he wouldn’t have the guts to call me on it while he was there.

Of course, they never showed up for Christmas, so the nose hair clipper remained in the box. It was a shame that I could not give it to him, but I thought perhaps that might have been for the best. As much as I can not stand him, I do care for my sister. The more I thought about it, the more I thought she might get the backlash from the nose hair clipper. That would not have been cool. So it’s a good thing they never showed up.

There may never be a good time to get someone a nose hair clipper as a gift. The only time this would be a good idea is if they ask you to get them one, and even then, you have no idea if they are serious. However, joking or not, if they say it then you can get it. I would think that this is something that a person would always want to buy for themselves, and would be embarrassed to get as a gift. Much like tampons and hemorrhoid cream, there are just some purchases that should be done personally. If you know someone like my brother-in-law though, all bets are off.

There are some personal hygiene issues that no one seems to talk about. One is the problem of excess hairs in places that aren’t appealing, including in your nose. With a nose hair clipper, you can easily take care of those small wayward hairs. There are a few different types of these handy little devices and once you have one you’ll wonder how you managed without it.

The most expensive are those that are electric. An electric model generally either plugs into the wall or is powered by a rechargeable battery. A nose hair clipper like this will typically also be able to handle eyebrow and chin hairs. It’s important not to use one of these types of clippers to trim the hair under your arms or on your legs because it just isn’t equipped to handle a large or thick amount of hair at once.

Another model that costs just a few dollars is the manual type. These come in several different styles and are powered by a battery. A nose hair clipper like this is convenient to use and is also portable, so you can take it with you in your purse or briefcase. Many people routinely pack one in their luggage when they travel. If you do this you never have to worry about whether you have an unwanted hair poking out.

Keeping them in good condition is paramount to maintaining the blades. It’s really important that you clean all the small hairs stuck in the clipper after use. If you don’t, the blades will tend to dull over time and then the unit becomes useless. There’s really no reason to wash the clipper, as water can damage the motor and the unit, resulting in it seizing up.

Often you can purchase a grooming kit which contains a clipper along with a comb, or even a larger razor. If you are planning on giving the gift of a razor to a novice shaver or even someone who has been keeping their face baby soft and smooth for years, consider buying one of these gift sets. Not only will they enjoy the razor on a daily basis, but they’ll appreciate having a nose hair clipper to take care of any wayward nose or ear hairs.

You are likely to find several different models to choose from in the beauty section of any major department store. They are also readily available online in both the gift set format or as a stand alone purchase. Many people find it best to purchase more than one nose hair clipper at a time as once there is one in the household almost everyone wants to use it. This is easy to understand as staying well groomed is something every person should be striving for.
