An Antidote to Serious Gift Guides

Posted on December 16, 2008 by bipolarlawyercook| 10 Comments

The bril­liant authoress at Just Another Ink-Stained Wretch has a cure to well-meaning, taste­ful, seri­ous Hol­i­day Gift Guides.  Almost every day she posts a link to another ill-concieved, far-out, or just plain dis­gust­ing item that might make you the talk of this year’s Yan­kee Swap.  I can guar­an­tee that if noth­ing else, you’ve never seen any­thing like the items she finds.

    I don’t know whether to laugh at the ridicu­lous­ness of the world or just shake my head. I think I just became more existential.

    aha­ha­haha I was going to get Jamie Oliver’s lat­est cook­book for my best friend from high school…but the one on that blog is MUCH bet­ter! Don’t you think it would be great to give her in from of her 20 and 21 year old daughters??!

    Yes, I’ve had two extra dirty mar­ti­nis with olives & cock­tail onions tonight, why do you ask?

    Wow!!!! and to think of all the insen­si­tive gifts I could’ve been giv­ing instead of the thought­ful stuff I’ve been pur­chas­ing for somany years. Thanks for open­ing my eyes :)

    I’m glad she researches them so we don’t have to. Where does she find such things?

    I love Just Another Ink Stained Wretch! Although the, um, cook­book she listed recently grossed me out.

    I’m hor­ri­ble at giv­ing gifts.. maybe if I get delib­er­ately hor­ri­ble thing all of the hor­ri­ble­ness will can­cel out and my gifts will some­how become cool.….

    Or maybe not.

    Hmmm, sud­denly the Fetuc­cine Alfredo my son is prepar­ing for din­ner doesn’t sound quite as appetizing.
