To be fair, I don't love everything about vintage gift giving. One thing I do not want to find under my tree--or anyone else's tree either!
This, from 1949 Sphere magazine (UK):
There are tons of old cigarette ads touting the suitability--the sheer desirability--of giving cigs for Christmas. Some almost make them look good! But this ad shows children giving cigarettes! Yikes!
Why'd we stop doing that? Because it's wrong on so many levels...
