While waiting at the AT&T store the other day, I came across a website that has been more entertaining to me than Pinterest. You see, Pinterest is all this perfectly beautiful food, craft projects, closet organization, and lists of delightful and entertaining projects to do with your children over the weekend that include more than ten supplies you do not have on hand and will end with you feeling like a terrible parent. Who needs that? Nobody. What we need are gift ideas that don’t suck and that can be ordered online.

As I’ve been perusing my new addiction, fancy.com, I’ve come across some items I thought would either make GREAT Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers. In the interest of good deeds and the brotherhood of man, yadayadayada, I’m sharing the ideas I’ve found. They’re mostly very affordable and often are not alcohol related. (Gasp!)

Except this first one. This is a carry on cocktail kit, capable of making two delicious old-fashioneds.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Then there’s this – what guy doesn’t want a switchblade mustache comb? You can bet he won’t already have one, that’s for sure.

Selfie sticks are all the rage, but the next big thing? The bike selfie. This can’t possibly go wrong.

This is in honor of someone I know who apparently used to spend some time at work doing exactly this, only without the handy-dandy nap apparatus.

Know someone who’s artsy or a Warhol fan, or both?

Have a friend or family member who likes walking in the rain? Give them their own rainbow. Or color wheel. Whatever.

This heart shaped umbrella is adorable. Looks like a scene from a Meg Ryan/Tom Hanks movie. Yes, I’m old.

Goth coffee lover? Pirate pal? Try this spoon.

Okay, here’s another alcohol related gift. You know there had to be at least one more.

Personally, that glass is almost cool enough (no pun intended) to make me drink liquor straight like that. Almost.

Let’s just get the last wine-o gift out of the way. In my defense, it’s also coffee related.

Let’s say someone has had a few cocktails and is stumbling to the bathroom later that night, but doesn’t want to turn on that BRIGHT bathroom light. I give you the toilet light. The light also alerts the ladies to the potential for that horrible moment we’ve all experienced at some point in life. (Shiver.) Priceless.

I have no idea who to give these to, but I love them and you should too.

Everyone has that geek friend. Watch them go nuts for this. I thought it was a fancy belt buckle at first.

Just plain silliness? Yes, please. Pizza nails, anyone?

How about cupcake liners that tell your fortune?

And if you just give up and don’t purchase anything for your friends and family, distract them by wearing this.

I think I’ll buy 7 of these to wear every day of the week.

Thanks, fancy.com!
