Got Worms?

Your sister tells you that your niece, little Susy, really wants a pet of her own. She wants something cute and cuddly, but also wants to be able to take care of it by herself.

Somehow in between the words "cute" and "pet," you decide that this is the perfect present for Susy's birthday...



Gift Giving Tip #463536: Even though the soil is mulitple colors and has "pretty" live plants in the display, a worm farm is not a gift designed to please.

Monkeying Around

Sigh! Mom has everything already! I have no idea what to get her for Hanukkah.

I guess I could get her a day at the spa. Or maybe a trip to Costa Rica. Also, she did say she wanted a nice green sweater the other day.

How about I combine these three. I can get her a cozy sweater to bring her some tranquility that will remind her of the creatures in Costa Rica. That's a great idea.

Behold, the monkey sweater.

Boxed Wine

Your boss is a wine enthusiast. He has traveled through Tuscany and toured many vineyards.

You figure that he must really like wine, right? He probably drinks a good bit of it, so you want to get the most "bang for your buck" when it comes to his gift.

Enter, wine in box.



Lots of glasses of wine, convenient box, easy to store in a fridge, right? Right?

Wrong.

Gift Giving Tip #4563465: Never give boxed wine to anyone as a gift.

Procreation Cookies

It's Thanksgiving, and your mother-in-law volunteers to bring the dessert. Little did you know, she decides to skip out on the standard pumpkin pie, replacing it with some subliminal message cookies.

Team Jacob

Teenaged Granddaughter: "Ooooh, how about you buy this for little Bobby's first birthday!" *Holds up Twilight onesie*

Grandmother: "Well, I guess your dad is quite hairy."

Teenaged Granddaughter gives her BFF a high five and watches her grandmother buy the onesie for her baby brother.



Gift Giving tip #1349054: Nothing says immaturity like displaying "Team Jacob" on your baby's onesie.

Jesus Beanie

Cousin Dan: "I've heard Ted's been spending a lot of time outside on that new motorcycle of his."

Cousin Patty: "Well, this time of year is much too cold to be doing that. We don't want to lose Ted to hypothermia! We'll have to find him a gift that he can use while he's riding that darn motorcycle."

Still Haven't Found Nemo

Uncle Eddie: "We're getting little Johnny that Nemo stuffed toy for Christmas, right?"

Aunt Ruthie: "But the one made by Disney is so expensive. If we get Johnny this one he'll never know the difference. It's on sale for half the price!"
