My blog is pretty laid back. I like to share jokes, recipes, books I've read, photos I've taken, day-to-day vignettes, and odd or fascinating items. All with a splash of humor. CURRENT HEADER PHOTO: My sister's famous cherry cookies.
When I help you out with the do's and don'ts on your Christmas list. So fasten your seat belt and here goes!
I think this item should fall into the "don't even think about it" category. But I could be wrong. It's an over-the-shoulder sling....for your dog! It may be cute on these hot models, but I've got my own weight to schlep around. Plus MY PUPPIES are in a BRA. Ahem. So IF I had a dog, it would be walking on the sidewalk like any decent dog SHOULD. But that's just MY opinion.
This next item just cracked me up. Of course, I am a tea drinker, but still. I thought it was clever. What do you think?
Now here's a gift that I would tend to stay away from....unless it's a gag gift. Or you buy it for yourself. Silverware with dumb-bells on the handles. I bet you'd think twice about shoving food in your mouth! Ha ha!
I think this is a cute item for a dorm or apartment. They are called "Handjob hooks"!
Now this item would be in bad taste, although it WOULD be funny. It's called "Dysfunctional Family Bingo" and includes categories like: staged family photo, hormonal imbalance, self medicating, door slamming, inedible family recipe, weight crack, political debate, and many, many, more.
For the Scrabble lovers, or Words with Friends freaks, these coasters are ideal.
Some crazy stocking stuffers:
Who WOULDN'T want a bottle opener always on hand - LITERALLY?
For that kid you just don't know what to buy!
Aren't these adorable?
Now who couldn't use these in a pinch? Says that they are "unisex" and can fit a child or small adult!
And finally, who wouldn't want to wear this pin?
At first glance I thought it said, "Just say Ho 3 times". Then I noticed that the 3 stood for 3 INCHES.Oh. Maybe I DON'T want to wear this! Never mind!
Have I made your shopping any easier? You can thank me later!
Guess what? There are only 47 shopping days left till Christmas!
But there's no need to panic - yet! Because Snooky Bing-a-ling, a.k.a. ME, has been doing her homework. Just look at all the goodies I have dug up for you!
Now this would be an ideal gift for that person who loves to fiddle with things, and was a fan of the original "Rubik's Cube". Think how fun it would be to have the pictures all mixed up and have to sort them out!
Got a camper in the family? How about a boy scout or girl scout? They'd be a HIT at their camp out with this sleeping bag! And don't worry, it DOESN'T smell!
Now this is a LITTLE BIT extravagant, but boy would YOU be the hit of the party! Or your hubby! This cooler tosses beer cans by remote control! Seriously! Watch the short video below!
We all know some geeks who still use pocket protectors, right? Why not add a little humor to their life by giving them a pocket protector that looks like a SANDWICH? It fits into a pocket, can still hold pencils, pens, etc., but will get the co-workers wondering if the geek lost his/her marbles! Oh what fun!
Know someone who is constantly rat-a-tat-tatting with their fingers on the table, their legs, wherever, constantly? They never quite fulfilled their dreams to be in a band? Well, here's the perfect gift! A set of drums - but not the expensive ones - just ones for their fingers! These are nice and portable so the "finger drummer" can take them ANYWHERE!
With the "NO SMOKING" laws passed in just about every state, the poor puffers are forced to smoke their butts outside no matter what the weather. Protect your loved one's hands this winter while they're out hacking up a lung, and buy them this smoker's mitten. It's ambidextrous - it works on either hand!
Don't know what to buy your Grandma or Grandpa in the nursing home this holiday? I have the PERFECT gift! Why not get them these Racing Grannies? Just think of the fun they can stir up at the ole home! Why, they can even draw numbers on these old biddies' backs and take bets. Maybe your grandparents can bring in enough money to pay for their OWN care!
This is one of my favorite gifts! I love me a nice, evenly cooked, brown marshmallow! Look at this folks! This contraption spins the marshmallow for you - that's all you have to do is hold the stick over the fire! How hard is that? No more flaming balls of fire! This would make a great gift for all the campers in your life.
Do you know someone who lives in a warmer climate where it doesn't snow? Would they like a white Christmas? Well, now you can give it to them! That's right! Here it is! The first ever! Snow in a Can! Ta Da! I have no idea how it works.....there some magic chemicals in a bag, pour it in the can, just add water, and then you have snow!
This is an excellent gift for that special co-worker who you know doesn't wash their hands after using the bathroom. You know the one, but you don't have the nerve to say anything to them? Well, here's your way out. Just give them this gift! Your welcome!
Now get busy, people! Snooky Bing-a-ling has given you a plethora of gift ideas today and here and here! So there are no excuses for not knowing what to buy the peeps on your list! (The link button was not working for some reason - that's why I had to type the whole dang thing out!)
for when you're feeling "prickly" or for those who are into voodoo! How cute would this look on your dining room table? Do you think Martha Stewart has one of these?
Of course, if you like these, (I'm seeing a theme here), here's one for the office. What an ideal gift for your boss!
Are you married to a Mr. Fix It Man? Then he would REALLY like this watch that has a tape measure built right in! He'll never be without a ruler! (Well, he DOES have you! *wink, wink*)
How about these fun salad servers? No more fumbling with TWO spoons! This is an easy, one-handed (well, two-eared) grip! This is great if you are going through the buffet line, holding a plate in one hand - just grip the server with the other hand and pile the salad on your plate! Wah-lah! This would be a great gift, not only for bunny lovers, vegans, salad lovers, but also for people who love kitchen gadgets!
Not only will it keep them dry, it will also prevent them from smelling like, well, "dog", when they come in from the rain! And what can be better than that?
This is an ideal gift for a child, co-worker, or even yourself! Wile away the hours at work, pretending to be working hard, but really staring at the fish!
My little fingers are tired from all this surfing. Next month will bring more gift ideas from Snooky-bing-a-ling. (BTW, I was "SNOOKY" before "SNOOKY" was popular!)
There are approximately 100 days till Christmas! Are you ready?
No?
Me either.
To give you a little jump on your Christmas shopping, Snooky Bing-a-ling, a.k.a. Snooky Bedhead (my elf name from last year - get YOUR elf name here ) has some gift suggestions for you.
Your welcome.
This one is for the camera bug in your life. Do you have someone who's constantly got a camera in their hand and saying, "SMILE!" Are you tired of getting caught with your pants down, so to speak? Here's your chance to get back at those Candid Camera freaks. (Ahem, takes one to know one!) Buy one of these camera lens mugs . From a distance it looks like the real thing. Call their attention to you, then throw the mug at them. If you want to see a grown person cry.....Wait, that's just downright cruel AND you might hurt them. Maybe just spill coffee or hot chocolate on it and freak 'em out THAT way. Yeah, that's better. Hee, hee.
Does your significant other like to drink beer while watching the Military Channel? If so, boy is this a great gift for only $30! Feast your eyes on THIS bad boy! It's called a hops holster 12 can ammo pack
Just be careful he/she doesn't wear this hunting, or we might have another Dick Cheney hunting accident on our hands!
Do you know someone who loves the bar scene? She loves to go out and feel like a "piece of meat"? Well then, this gift is IDEAL for her! She can show off her "rack" and er, "rump" to the crowd! Click the link for more info! Creme cuts of meat dress
How about some Blood dripping sunglasses for those True Blood lovers? Not such a steal at $285 each. Yikes! More expensive than a vial of vampire blood!
Do you know someone who has just about EVERY kitchen gadget available? Bet they don't have these! How cute are these daisy-shaped eggs? Who wouldn't want to eat a sunny side egg shaped like this? Too cute! Set of four/$22
Never know what to get your fellow co-worker? How about a set of these Mood Mugs? You'll never have to guess what mood they're in when you come to work in the morning....just look at their mug (in their hands I mean)! If you're really cheap, you can buy just one. (Course they're about $16 each including shipment from the UK!)
For those who love "Dexter" on Showtime, how about these awesome coasters that mimic his blood slides? They are a steal at $35 a pop!
And finally, how about that person who L-O-V-E, LOVES their car. How about a pair of Car Lashes? Wouldn't this look adorable on it? Especially if it was a Volkswagen Beetle! At $25/pair, I think it would be a GREAT gift!
That's all for now. I don't want to overwhelm your little head with ideas. Or your credit card with charges.
Besides, this little elf's fingers are tired from surfing.
Stay tuned for more Christmas ideas in the upcoming months.
