Are foot massagers a good gift for someone on their feet all day, or do they become clutter?
My dad works long shifts on his feet and I want to get him something more useful than another gift card. A heated foot massager sounds practical in theory, but I am worried it might be one of those gifts that feels thoughtful and then sits in a closet because it is bulky or annoying to use. Reviews are all over the place. Some people say the pressure feels amazing after work, while others say it is too intense, not strong enough, loud, or awkward depending on foot size. If you have gifted or received one, did it actually become part of a routine? What made it useful enough to keep out instead of becoming a one-week novelty?
