ideas

does anyone have any ideas for a really kick ass $40 gift for my family's cutthroat christmas extravaganza? (or one of those things where the presents get traded around the room a million times?) I am done with alcohol based gifts as I have done that route for the past 2-3 years and I am feeling like an alcoholic or like the enabler that condones someone elses...anyway. I also did funky house things and a painting by moi in the past. this year I need to go in with michael. so all ideas are welcome.

Make a card that reads: 'Giver will donate $40 in recipient's name to Susan Komen Foundation.' And stick it in a jar full of M&Ms or a big pretty box.

Or get a bunch of self-help books.

Or a hair dryer and flat iron.

Or the first season of Seinfeld.

If you want to be a bit daring, I highly recommend Garrison Kielor's (sp?) "Homegrown Democrat" on tape. It's great stuff. That would be half of it. Then maybe you could throw in one of those down throws from Linens 'n Things or maybe a car safety kit, boring, but practical, and something most people don't think about.

somebody wants a new hair dryer and flat iron hmmm.
that jar of m&m's with something cool inside has been done. never went over as well as the liquor, but the komen donation is nicer than anything else so far.

I hate bold italics. And I really hate Arial font. Everyone who hates Arial font say "ho."

arial font is the one my company uses most.

goudy?
poser.

really I am a fan of the goudy.
also arial is difficult to read....has no flow.

thats it a flowbee....that would go over well!
