So Ive just got an email from a company telling me they had "the perfect gift for him this Christmas!"
"Perfect!" I thought. I opened the email excitedly to see what original and quality gift I could get for a loved one this year and it was...
...a razor set. What? I mean, seriously? A razor and some shaving foam is your grand idea? I thought at least it would be something you couldn't pick up with the weekly shopping...but a razor and some foam? Here is my face at exactly that time:
So I thought why not do a bit of an alternative Christmas gift guide, You know, to prove I'm not a grinch.
How's about a little personalisation? A hoody (for them snuggly winter nights), t shirt, mug, mouse pad, pen, calendar... The list goes on. I myself am on Santas list for a pug hoody. Hell! You could even personalise that razor I'm sure!
50 pairs of socks. Because everyone needs socks.
Something you made by hand - this could vary depending on what you have in the house. It could range from a collage in a nice frame to a macaroni and glue picture. But the best things are usually the ones that don't cost a lot and have had some thought go into them ie. not a razor.
An electric razor, because let's be fair it's better than a disposable bic and some shaving foam.
Selection boxes but instead of sweets have little things that you and the giftee mutually enjoy. (Edit- this could be sweets)
Lastly, if you do go for the razor for the man in your life (or hairy mother in law) Then that's a-ok, I'm sure grumpy cat will understand.
