Depends on the person. I asked for some because I didn't have an MP3 player and would burn CDs to listen to while on the bus. I couldn't buy them myself because I was too far from a store that sold them and couldn't drive.
Money works differently for younger people. When you're 13 or so, the things you desire are a lot more difficult to save up for, especially if your family isn't that well off
At no point did I say I ever GOT CD-r's as a christmas gift. I can't imagine in 1998 giving these to my sister, or my mom, or anyone else, because they'd have looked at me and said "OH LOOK AT THIS ASSHOLE WHO DOESN'T GIVE A SHIT ABOUT GIVING DECENT GIFTS!!!"
This is why I don't give christmas gifts anymore. Besides everybody already being grown up, it's too much stress. I get gifts for my niece and that's it. But even if we were still in an era of CD-r's being relevant, I'd still never give them as anything more than a stocking stuffer. I stick by my original comment that CD-r's were never a good gift on their own. It just shows you didn't think about them at all.
As for you? You sound like an asshole. Offense intended. Asshole.

I remember buying them, but that would be a shit gift.

Same here. I grew up in a small town and had no access to a store that sold CD-Rs. Getting a cylinder of them as a gift was awesome.
No?
I remember blank cd bundles like this costing about $10. That would be a good stocking stuffer, but not a christmas gift.
I see your point but also a stocking stuffer is a Christmas gift.
I think their objection is "amazing".

You sound like a spoiled brat. Some offense intended.

Probably hit the right button I guess.
That's like $25 today
Some of them bundles smelled like maple syrup!
CD racks and wallets were a fun accessory to shop for too.
Don't cite the old magic to me, witch. I burned it on a mix CD.
We are closer to the invention of CDs than to nuclear fusion. Feel old yet?
