When a Gap Gift Card Won't Do

It's December, the time to buy/make stuff for your loved ones and celebrate one of the values that makes modern life so great -- commericalism! Some holiday gift suggestions for the quirky folk in your life:

Arnold Schwarzenegger - Total Body Workout (the album)
I recommend checking out track #9, Ahnold's words of wisdom set to the soothing sounds of "It's Raining Men" by The Weather Girls. Can't vouch for the actual fitness value of this CD, but its comedic value is solid gold. (thanks, Mars)

Anything from Despair, Inc.
For the depressed, unmotivated pessimists with a sense of humor. Despair Inc.'s not satisfied until you're dissatisfied.

Crafty Goodness
Everyone likes handmade DIY stuff, especially when they're made by people who actually know how to knit, sew a straight line and work a glue gun.

Hulger P*Phone
Because cell phones are way too complicated to use. For the old-school crowd.

Already finished up my non-religious holiday shopping (does that make sense?). Well, finished most of it.

Amazing that I still do any holiday gifting as I grew up in a household where one of my dad's favorite statements is: "Insert holiday here was invented by Hallmark." My mom disagrees. Hence the schism towards holiday shopping in my family. I give holiday gifts. Mom gives holiday gifts. Dad receives holiday gifts, doesn't give holiday gifts, but will give people random stuff throughout the year for non-holiday related reasons.
