It has been said that the ‘holiday season’ is a month of incredibly intense craziness and stress interrupted by a few brief moments of joy. I’m not sure who said that, maybe it was me, but part of that craziness and stress comes from trying to figure out what to get that person who ‘has everything’, and once you’ve figured it out, where to find it. As always, we’re here to help relieve some stress by providing you with some ideas of unique gifts that not only will make that ‘special someone’ sit up and take notice, but mark you as a unique gift-giver . . . or a crazed, eccentric nutcase.
This first item is for that person who thinks ‘everything’ is a flip phone, a Brownie camera and an eight-track cassette player, who you’ve been trying to bring into the new millennium for years, albeit kicking and screaming. Yes, it’s a typewriter, but with an attached monitor and a USB port, – it’s like training wheels for cyber-phobics.
This next item is for that person who thinks they have the perfect coffee mug, with a picture of (fill in the blanks) and the words ‘World’s Greatest (fill in the blank). Not so fast! Fellow workers will be wiping tears of laughter from their cheeks and those in the coffee klatch will be flushed with envy when they see that brown liquid swirling in this porcelain mug. One lump or two?
And while we’re on the subject of bathroom humor, here’s a towel that is sure to please those who have been confused about which end to use to wipe their face . . . and other parts. Color coordinated.
Fifty Shades of Chicken is for that chef on your list that has every cookbook ever printed, except this one! This completes the study of the Big Three Bs of cooking: Baking, Broiling and Bondage.
If your ‘person who has ‘everything’ is fairly mindless, OK, completely mindless, then they’re going to really enjoy the yodeling pickle. Don’t you wish you would have invented it?
Soap for Christmas? Yes, but not just any soap, this is soap with a beer scent; and who doesn’t want to smell like beer?!
The ‘Potty Putter’ is for that golfing nut in your group that just can’t get enough of the game. Ideal for the crapy golfer!
There’s no guarantee that your man will look like these two hunks in his new Christmas sweater or vest, but isn’t it worth a shot? Only comes in XL and XXL.
To ensure that we are politically incorrect to both parties, we’re offering that political junkie on your list the option of using either of these toilet tissues. Get both for the independent or fence-sitter! Let the good times roll.
Since most of these items are on-line (like who would actually carry this stuff in a store!?!!) you still have time to order now and make someone’s Christmas special.
Hope this helps
Ok, I have 3 of these gifts in my gift closet to be regifted at some point. We have moved around an old typewriter that was left by a dead beat renter in Cap’s condo here in Dallas before we moved in 1987. Yes, the typewriter is worth quite a bit now in all the moving costs we have paid. I think I bought the potty putter when we lived in Lake Forest, IL so its valued has not had as many moves. As for the TP our doesn’t have either Hillary or Trump but another politic figure that I will not mention but is pretty current. I do have a Hillary Nut Cracker too!! Anybody want to invite me to a White Elephant party, I need to get rid of this stuff!!!
Love, Sharon
great comments Sharon – somehow I knew you’d have most of this stuff. Happy Holidays!!
I know you are hoping to get one of these gifts…great fun
I think I’m going to buy every one of those items. I know people for whom they are absolutely perfect. Where do you want yours sent? 😉
Thanks for thinking of me Bill, but I already have everyone of them!
Way too funny! Did give me a couple of ideas for my crazy opinionated uncle who doesn’t have everything !
Always happy to help Janet! 🙂
