10 last minute Christmas gifts

Good Morning,

Just wanted to send out a little friendly reminder to put a little extra something in the kids’ stockings this year. Due to the way the holiday has fallen, many young souls will be experiencing—DOUBLE CHURCH!!!…the usual Sunday mass and now the Christmas “all-nighter” oops I mean the Christmas Eve (or day) celebration.

anyway,

my gift to you?

10 Last Minute Gift Ideas...on a budget

1. Stacker cups (as seen in the ESPN cup stacking competition). just go to the supermarket and get a package of large red Dixie cups.

2. Snu-plows. (i'm still working on this one...ice scrappers attached to your shoes!!!)

3. Thighmaster disaster. take a sturdy clothes hanger...bend and fold it in a "V" a la Jane Fonda...

4. The spa package. locate holiday socks. cut the toes out for toenail painting during the winter months. throw in eyebrow pencils and stencils for grandmas.

For the kids on your list

5. Froot Loop Necklace. string Froot Loops on a 12in. thread of dental floss. Kids can eat and when done have them bring the string to you for a lesson in flossing.

6. Spunky Spider. get a jar. coax that little bugger in if/when he scoots across your desk. Slap on a piece of masking tape. With Sharpie write SPUNKY SPIDER! …it’s all in the presentation.

7. Arrange for a visit from your pet.

Extra Thoughty Gifts

8. Use your nose to determine when the neighbors in your apartment building are doing their best baking. Show up on their door w/ an item to return…like a lawn chair. In the spirit of reciprical giving, you might end up leaving w/ some bakery fresh buckeyes arranged neatly on a re-giftable plate!

9. Eat a bunch of fruit and put the washed off seeds in a jar. Fill a baggie with dirt and pin a poem to it..."Without a warm and loving home this peach pit will not make it. Johnny Appleseed indeed! scatter me and I will be a tree!!! Plumbs are not dumb. Show us your green thumb!"

Best gifts come from Tiffany’s (jewelers) no, no the heart...

10. put your hat on backwards. grab your cat and sing "We Wish You a Merry Christmas."
