•1.                  Box of Kleenex and a bottle of Prozac (especially not appropriate if the Seller brought money to closing).

•2.                  A big jar of Vaseline (especially inappropriate if the Seller brought money to closing).

•3.                  A copy of the movie "The Money Pit" with Tom Hanks (especially inappropriate for first time buyers, or buyers of old homes).

•4.                  A gift basket of Roach Motel and Mouse traps.

•5.                  A year's supply of Tilex, and a $ 25 gift certificate to "The Mold Doctor".

•6.                  A bottle of Viagra and a year's subscription to Match.com (especially wrong in a "divorce sale").

•7.                  A set of hot dog holders.

•8.                  A set of flea traps.

•9.                  A copy of the book: "When Bad Things Happen To Good People" (in bad taste for both Buyer and Seller, but for different reasons).

•10.              A long rope.  Especially bad in conjunction with Prozac and a 2-story home purchase.

•11.              Coupon for a complimentary EXORCISM.

•12.              Mouthwash and deodorant.  Maybe your best friend won't tell you, but your agent will...
