I've actually got that broom and it's been really effective during my leaf clearing sessions, although it's used in tandem with the Golden Gark. However, I bought it myself rather than got it as a present. The only way that would be an acceptable gift was if the giver used it to clear my garden of leaves every year rather than my having to do it.
I caught a bit of the gift show this morning when the sealant was being demonstrated. Well, if I got that as a gift I'd be using it to fill more than the sealant on my bath!
