Hey! You know what I haven’t seen lately on the blogosphere? A personal finance post on great gift ideas<\/a>! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

I’m kidding. Kinda. After all, there are already some great pieces on Christmas gift ideas for military members<\/a>.<\/p>\n

So… Are you tired of giving the same old stuff year after year?<\/p>\n

I mean, come on. How many neckties and bottles of Old Spice can dear old dad get anyway?<\/p>\n

Are you with me, people?<\/p>\n

Well, here’s a quick list of some of my favorite off-the-wall gifts.<\/p>\n

Crime Scene Scarf<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"fuzzscarf\"<\/p>\n

Nothing gathers attention like a little crime scene tape wrapped around your neck.<\/p>\n

Trix-Flavored Lip Balm<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"trixlipbalm\"<\/p>\n

Here is a perfect stocking stuffer. I wonder if they plan on coming out with a Count Chocula version? I know grandma and grandpa would appreciate lip balm flavored like 100% Bran Flakes, but I didn’t see that one listed either.<\/p>\n

French Toast Stamper<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"French
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is one I suggested to Jason over at Redeeming Riches for his article on 10 Great Gift Ideas Under $10<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Little Poopsie Stuffed Chew Toy<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Poopsqueak\"Let your pup be the life of the party as he entertains your guests while he chews on this squeaky toy that is shaped like the stuff that is better-suited for backyards as opposed to living rooms!<\/p>\n

Potty Night Light<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"pottynightlight\"<\/p>\n

Ladies, how many times have you scolded your man for going potty in the dark and leaving a bit of a mess? Go easy on him because his intentions were true – he didn’t want to wake you. With this potty light, those problems are now a thing of the past.<\/p>\n

Life Is Crap T-Shirt<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"lifeiscrap\"Staying on theme, do you want the perfect counterpoint to those ubiquitous “Life Is Good” t-shirts? Here you go…<\/p>\n

Hazardous Waste Leftover Containers<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Leftovers\"<\/p>\n

These leftover containers are perfect for the workplace, as their auspicious warnings serve as a reminder to all your shifty coworkers (I said “shifty”) that the stuff inside is not fit for their consumption.<\/p>\n

Beer Holders<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"hopsholster\"<\/p>\n

For the party animal who doesn’t have time to traipse back and forth to the cooler for his next Silver Bullet, this insulated beer holder is perfect for tail-gaters everywhere.<\/p>\n

$100-Bill Toilet Paper<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"100DOLLARS\"<\/p>\n

Then again, if you’re patient, the Fed will eventually print enough of the real stuff to make this gift obsolete.<\/p>\n

And at the rate they’re going I’m afraid you won’t have to wait very long.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
