I've never asked for a repost so bear with me and PLEASE REPOST EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. I have a friend who is on an organ donation recipient list. He's been through a couple of false starts where the donor organ was not usable...

Dec 1971: Vacuum Cleaner ad from Hoover

(+Steam Iron and Toaster)

«Merry Christmas.
And a happy new Hoover.»

A vintage Christmas advertisement promoting household appliances. It suggests giving Hoover products as holiday gifts, highlighting the utility of a vacuum cleaner, steam iron, and toaster, emphasizing their appeal as practical and appreciated presents.

Merry Christmas.
And a happy new Hoover.

When you wish someone a Merry
Christmas, round it off with a Happy New
Hoover.
Our Junior Dirtsearcher, for example,
is a gift that comes in handy from
the moment it's received (think of pine
needles on the carpet under the tree!).
And with its accessory tools, it becomes
an all-round-the-house cleaner for all the
year round.
Equally, the floats-on-air action of
our Constellation suction cleaner puts it
on top of lots of gift lists.
Our steam iron's sole-plate, ensuring
perfect spread of steam, proves that, at
Christmas, too, a diamond is a girl's best
friend.
And our toaster makes every morning
a pleasure, since it makes a new kind of
toast: exactly the kind you like.
Wish someone a Merry Christmas with
a Happy New Hoover.
And make New Years happy for many
years to come.
Hoover make things
better for you.

Did you know there was an audio adaptation of The Muppet Christmas Carol? It was only put out on cassette, and is long out of print, but some kind soul put it on YouTube.

I saw a family friend give a vacuum cleaner to his wife for Christmas once years ago. It didn't go over well and you could cut the tension with a knife. It was returned the following week.
