Don’t get your hopes up, kiddos. Although this list provides some less-than-Kosher gift ideas, you won’t find many ways to spice up your holiday bedroom life.
In fact, good luck finding a bedroom life at all if you give or receive any of these gifts in the holiday season. Here’s some gifts to get those people that you…really, really like.
Socks, on socks, on socks…
Socks in general. That also goes for pre-packaged underwear from anyone except a parent or guardian. Come on folks, who wants to unwrap that Mylar wrapping paper only to find that, its luscious tinsel tones hide nothing more than some generic colored, elastic waist underwear.
Gifts for others…
Gifts for other people. We’ve all been there. You opened up a thoughtful gift from one of your family members (whom you no doubt love, regardless) and it was a gift that had to be used involving a significant other, friend, or roommate. Now, unless this gift is a trip for two to the Bahamas, opening, let’s say a Snuggie for two would be, well, pretty underwhelming.
Dat plastic, plz…
Gifts that will make you fat. Gift cards to fast food places are awesome. They provide that quick fix for the on-a-budget eater, but after you’ve spent fifty dollars at McDonalds on four different McGift Cards, your McThighs and McRibs are going to be nice and plumped up for that Valentine’s Day season.
Personal pleasure devices…
Personal pleasure devices, even if they’re for a friend. When researching bad gift ideas, this came up. It was a “What?” kind-of jaw-dropping moment, but I guess people really are this outlandish. Here at this Chimes, we think that the embarrassment of opening one of these…bad boys… is punishment enough. Naughty list. For sure.
2011 was a long year, and I’m sure all of your Christmas wish lists are longer. But in compiling a list of some of the best holiday gift ideas for this season, our excitement for what this month has to offer has grown. Cheers!
Hand-crafted with love…
Gifts that mean something. Sure, it could be something simple, but if the person who got it for you truly found and placed emotion behind it, it’s a gift from the heart and no one can reject one of those. These gifts are great to give if you’re on a budget. Use your talents to your advantage. If you’re good at art, paint everyone a picture, scrap them one of those fancy books, and really put your heart into it.
Wine and dine ‘em
Wine, Liquor, and other finer alcohol. Gifts of classy alcohol selections for those who drink are totally acceptable (for those old enough to enjoy it, of course). Walking into a Christmas party with a 30-pack of Busch heavy adorned with a bow, not so much. Give gifts of good wines, liquors and finer alcohols that you enjoy. And as always, drink responsibly.
You gassy, huh?
Gas gift cards. The golden era of $1.35 for a gallon of gas has long since passed. With prices burning a hole in many people’s bank accounts, one can’t help but love knowing that they’ve got some plastic to burn before their paper. Or, before their coinage if times have gotten a little drastic.
Help people out. $5 gas gift cards add up! Go shell out a twenty and get a couple for some friends. Who wouldn’t appreciate that in a stocking? Or wrapped in a sock…wrapped in a garbage bag….wrapped in bacon.
Gag gifts galore!!
Gag gifts. Gag gifts are truly funny. Maybe someone has given you something that you gave them a few years ago, or maybe your grandma’s being funny this year and (after getting the idea from us, of course) bought you a personal pleasure device. Weird. But if it’s a joke, who can help but laugh?
To all grandmothers reading: the Chimes does not endorse giving this sort of gift.
