This article is about an advertising slogan. It has no sources and has been marked with cleanup tags since 2012. A notice at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Brands# The gift that keeps on giving failed to bring any improvements. This is a worthless stub that could be recreated if significant content can be found.

- Keep It's quite easy to find sources for this such as
this. The topic might be merged into another page but, as the slogan was used first by the
Victor Talking Machine Company and then for many years by
RCA, it seems better to keep it separate.

- @ Andrew Davidson: That's not a reliable source - it appears to be a one-person blog entry. Interesting, but unusable. It doesn't even cite any usable sources. Felsic2 ( talk) 00:58, 4 April 2017 (UTC)

- Delete - While the phrase, in context of the slogan for Victor/RCA, does come up in searches, the results are not substantial and not reliable. As mentioned already, the source that Andrew D. brought up is not a reliable source, as it is an individual's personal blog. The other sources that come up are either similar to this, or are archives of the actual ads themselves. 64.183.45.226 ( talk) 21:43, 6 April 2017 (UTC)
