I LOVE the holidays, but I loathe being in any sort of store during this time. The thought of having to hit 25 different department stores to get my entire family and girlfriend’s family makes me want to toss a noose around my neck. With that said, I figured there may be a few of you out there who haven’t shopped yet and don’t fancy the idea of doing so. Therefore, I hope that these three easy gift suggestions help you out.
1) The aisle in CVS which has all the infomercial crap – This aisle is pure gold, and you only need to hit up the closest CVS or similar store. I have purchased anything for the belt that goes around your waist to lose weight for my sister, to the socks that heat up. The gifts never cost more than $25 and it looks like you had it shipped.
2) A Subscription to Spotify – C’mon. This is the game changer right here for one important reason. $9.99 for all you can eat music for a month is wonderful, but the time you will have to spend teaching your parents what Spotify is, and how to use it is where the money is made, and it makes you look like a technical genius.
3) Bacon of the Month Club – Zingerman’s owns this space, and this is a perfect gift for anyone, including yourself. So while you order a yearly supply (each month) of 12 to 16 ounces of artisan bacon, bacon stories, histories and recipes for your favorite person, toss an extra subscription in there for yourself.
