It’s getting down to the wire, and many of us are still stuck on one or two gifts for the men in our lives. So, as always during this time of year, I try to help out by scouring the internet in hopes of finding those gifts that might make that special someone or someone-you-don’t-really-care-about-but-have-to-buy-a gift-for-them-anyway, smile. Here is a list of some unique items that will keep your loved ones talking for many Christmases to come!
Is your guy a history or Civil War aficionado? Well, I have found the perfect gift for you! From OfftheWagon.com, you can buy Abraham Lincoln bandages. Yep, nothing takes a sting out of a boo boo like these band-aids. It’s true they won’t stop the horrific civil war re-enactment injuries, but they do well with those run-of-the-mill injuries like splinters and hedge trimming mishaps, and they will get your guy some serious sympathy points which all men love. They make great conversation starters and made in black and white, they go with everything your guy wears.
Is someone in your life addicted to the smell of bacon? Well, OfftheWagon.com also carries everything bacon-scented from candy canes to bodywash to toothpaste and you can wrap the gifts in bacon wrapping paper. One caveat: do not let your guy wear bacon-flavored bodywash around a lot of dogs or more importantly, any zoo. Animals love the smell of bacon as much as the guy in your life does and well, bad things can happen by the Tiger exhibit. Of course, if there is a large insurance policy you hope to “receive” in 2014…this might work out. Just something to think about.
Through the Nature Conservancy you can adopt an acre of land in the Appalachians or the Rockies, and the cost is only $50. Please be advised that although you adopt the acre of mountainous terrain, you do not get to ski on it or build on it, but the upside is you don’t have to shovel snow off of it nor do you have to mow it. So, it’s a pretty good deal and your guy can brag to people that he is a Green person who loves nature and he comes up smelling like a rose unless he is wearing the aforementioned bacon bodywash.
Is the love of your life, a fan of the movie “The Godfather”? Can he quote lines from the film and does he think the life of a mobster is the best life of all? Then, we have the gift for you. From GadgetsandGears.com comes The Horse Head Mask. Yes, just think how romantic it will be to re-create in your bedroom that unforgettable decapitated horse head scene! That equine head will make horsing around fun for years to come!
GadgetsandGears.com also brings us these gifts. For the man who has everything except warm private parts, there is the Willy Warmer. Yes, gentleman, just slip this fuzzy companion over…well, you know, and the days of shrinking in the cold are no more! Okay, is it me or do men really baby those things a bit too much? I would say, “grow a pair” but what’s the point? They would only just cover them up.
And finally, and I can’t even come up with a reason why a guy would need these, nor do I want to, but I try not to judge: An Emergency Underpants Dispenser.
I hope these unique gifts can make your shopping easier. If none of these items help you, remember, there are always gift cards.
Does the willy warmer come in small, medium and large or one-size-fits-all?
Bacon Candy Canes, Willy Warmers, Abe bandages . . . my shopping is done!! Funny stuff Donna!
All great gift ideas. The Willie Warmer is obviously the hottest thing going, though!
HA HA Mike! Always there with a great pun!
Now this is just priceless Don Don’s. As someone who is special in so many peoples lives, I’m going to print this list and put it on a t-shirt. By the time Xmas comes around, I will be bringing home the bacon!
You will be bringing home the bacon OR the emergency underpants! Either one will work I guess!
Donna, do you think that song will please the Willie Warmer folks? Or would they rather have a parody of Oscar Hammerstein’s Oklahoma? We can do that:
Willll-ie Warmer, when your Wil-ll-lies feeling real cold
It is like a sock, except it’s not
It keeps your Willie from getting oooold
Willll-ie Warmer, a fuzzy treat… that sure feels neat
A warm tube sock, of cottony delight
Except you don’t wear it on your feeeet!
Does the Willie Warmer company have a catchy sales song?
A jingle that might help get those Warmers off the shelf and onto the Willies?
If not, I’ll suggest one, if I may:
When it’s cold and icy and things look bleak
How do you keep things warm… down there… so to speak?
You don’t want to get a flat iron
Although a flat iron can be smashing
You don’t need a hot potato
But a spud… down there…
Might be dashing
No… no… if you want to keep your Willie warm
Remember first of all… to do no harm
Don’t use no iron nor spud nor lighter
If you want to be a lover… not a fighter
Get yourself a Willie Warm
A fuzzy sock to outlast the storm
You’ll find yourself with cozy balls
In red or white… just like Santa Claus
Your Willie will stay toasty
It’s comfy, oh, the mosty
You’ll beat the chill
You’ll do no harm
When you wrap yourself in Willie Warm
You’ll beast the chill
You’ll do no harm
When you wrap yourself in Willie Warm
Can you get the Willie Warmer monogrammed? Nothing worse than reaching in a drawer and pulling out someone else’s Willie Warmer. First off, you don’t know where it’s been. Secondly, you’d hate to have one that’s been stretched out. I want my Willie Warmers snug.
Wow, you like this Willy Warmer Stan! We might have to send you one ofr each day of the week! LOL Love the poetry. You should send it to the company and maybe they will give you freebies! Love it!
Those ain’t poems, Ms. Cavanagh
They is jingles
And if Willie Warmer wants ’em
We can add the music
Let Mercedes Jones…
Oops, I mean Amber belt it out
She’ll add some Glee to your
Warmest Wil-lie
The emergency underpants have year-round potential if either of you are crappy drivers. Great list.
Good thoughts on the underwear Thomas. I guess maybe that is why my husband always wants to drive when we go places together!
Keeping my toes warm is harder than keeping my willie warm. But I might buy a silk willy warmer just for the experience.
I hope your wife knows this LB!!!
Oh my God, I think I love you.
That is all it takes to get an I Love You?! Damn, you guys are so easy! 🙂
