A Lincoln store was selling a kit called Toilet Golf Game. It’s a piece of green felt with a hole and flag that you can set in front. It looks dumb enough to be fun. Plus, I know a guy who loves golf and for spending a lot of time in the bathroom. So, I went back a week after I first saw it and they were all gone. The only cheesy gifts they had left were the Armrest Organizer and a giant fake bottle of sriracha that has smaller bottles of actual sauce inside. These are the kind of gifts I usually buy for my family’s white elephant gift game. We go down the alphabet and have to buy something that starts with that letter. This year is “U”. I actually found something two years ago and wrapped it then. I can’t remember what it is. It’s literally be sitting around, wrapped, for over 700 days.
Anyway, this is the time of year that we somehow fall for interesting, but gimmicky type, fast and easy gifts. Have you ever seen anyone serve or eat summer sausage at any other time of the year? Then there’s the bad cologne that tries to look and sound hip that’s basically repackaged from Father’s Day. Bod Man cologne? Wasn’t Bod Man also the name of the He- Man knock off doll that’s only found in 5 dollar or less stores?
I also found a toaster for hot dogs. Perfect for the guy who doesn’t want all that hassle of opening and closing a microwave door.
