Good Morning,
If there’s one thing I know it’s hostessing! I don’t like to toot my own horn but I’m pretty sure the Aloha doormat, the VCR hook up and invitation to blow up your own air mattress pretty much speaks for itself. Mitty and I have entertained a countless number of friends…a few who even probably enjoyed their stay.
I’ve come up with a sometimes fun sometimes serious list you can use as your holiday gift giving guide. Add delete items as necessary.
Guide
1. Get gifts everyone can use.
Hand sanitizer
Water bottle
Atlas
Day-by-day calendar
A shammy
Cd’s (not the monetary kind)
x-mas DVD’s, books
2. Shop in one location. *Note I often find myself in the CVS isle.
So, for those who might appreciate something from the CVS aisle (Grandpa, Grandma, special needs population)
Inflatable seat ring
Male hand held urinal
Support hose
and don't be afraid to get creative once you get your purchases home...
Steel toed slippers (for the late night potty runs)
His and her Fart swatters...just decorate a fly swatter Grandma & Grandpa can use when hanging out in their recliners.
3. Keep it fun by involving the entire family.
Mitty wanted to do charitable gifts this year. She suggests Kitty fur wigs for those cats experiencing hair loss conditions. Simply brush your kitty daily and save it in a plastic baggie. You can send it to “Santa Claus” who will then spin it into a wig for just the right kitty… (shhhhhh, please don’t tell her).
4. Go green this x-mas. To cut costs and save the planet think of ways guests might be able to recycle their gifts.
Potato clock
A handful of grass- tell them these are “starter seeds for a grass garden.”
A “poncho” garbage bag
Macaroni noodle magnet
Ant farm- put one of your ant traps in a jar of dirt w/ magnifying glass
Secret turd for out in the garden…(if you can think of ways your guests will be recycling this item I do NOT want to hear about it).
And lastly,
5. Turn the tables. If you always have ideas offered to you about what you might do to make your life simpler...
Before I…I mean you get another (wheeled walker, pair of long underwear, magnetic insoles, wheeled cooler, water pick pamphlet).
I’ve done some special research and would like to pass on these suggestions…as advertised on TV!!!
*Mighty Putty! for when your cup of water suddenly springs a leak! What I like most about this commercial is when the actor is...holding his cup of water over an aquarium and it suddenly springs a leak!…out the side.
oh yes, suuure I’ve had this happen to me…
also for $19.99 and some laughs...
*The Hercules Hook! "...installs easily by hand: just twist, push and turn. Pick a point on the wall…with firm forward pressure, twist the hook back and forth (like a key) until you have chiseled through the wall...Hercules Hook! No tools! No studs! Leaves only a pin size hole!"
What I like most about this one is how it leaves just a pin size hole…after the chiseling.
And lastly …not quite sure how this one DOES NOT qualify as adult entertainment. It is in the fitness category as an ab exerciser. Just click and study it. Wowza!
http://www.infomercials-tv.com/blog/exercise_and_fitness/ (scroll to the bottom of the page until you find...the Sport-Elec Body Contour System!)
"The Sport-Elec stimulates the Nerves that work the body's muscles. The result is strong deep, yet comfortable, contractions that, over time, train your muscles to be firmer and stronger, while you work, play, exercise or relax!"
okay, anyway.
Happy Monday,
Amanda
