I didn’t really do the whole Christmas thing this year (in terms of gifts) for anyone except my girlfriend and immediate family, for no other reason then because my usually plentifull creative side (which is usually responsible for getting gift ideas) took a long vacation this year, sometime around September and hasn’t returned since. After Thanksgiving when I really started shopping hardcore for peoples’ gifts, I was finding dead-ends at every corner. What do you get for the person that has everything? Adults are hard to buy for — kids are the best. There’s nothing like buying for a little girl or boy, because well, they still believe in Santa and that’s 90% of the fun.
Anywho, I did find a few cool things for people. I found some really good stuff at two different websites. My mom had liked some of the items I had purchased for others, and she wanted to know where I had got them. I didn’t realize they were that good, but people laughed or smiled, so I figured that was a good reaction.
I actually picked up some stuff for myself at these two specific websites, I’ll let you know what they are in a minute. One thing I got myself were two rubber [ink] stamps that I got for work. One says “COMPLETE AND UTTER BULLSHIT” and the other says “STAPLE THIS TO YOUR FACE”. I’m anxiously awaiting the first chance at work where I can actually slap this on some jackass’s email and hand it back to him or her, voicing my dissaproval. They’ll ask “who the hell are you to do that?” and I’ll reply “go suck a dead rat’s ass”, and then my manager will probably call me in for a little conference. Ah well, I can dream.
Anyway, the websites are:

Hope everyone had a healthy, safe, and happy Christmas.
