<\/span>\"Picture\"<\/a>Treat yo self!<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

      It’s mid-December, which means too many people are stressing out about what gifts to buy their loved ones for the holidays. What annoys me almost as much as the vast materialism and selfishness that engulfs this time of year is when people buy checklist gifts<\/font><\/em><\/strong>. What’s a checklist gift, you ask? It’s what I call the kind of present that people buy just to check that recipient off their list, giving absolutely no thought to what might bring the person joy. NB, so we avoid dumb comments, that my preference would be for people to simply enjoy the company of loved ones and not revel in materialism. BUT. If our society is going to make Christmastime about giving presents, at least make them good presents! Did you really think I’d enjoy the DVDs of ‘American Horror Story’? (I know it’s a great show, but I<\/em> can’t watch anything remotely scary or dark. Even if just the lighting is dark. People who know me know that!) Or body wash that was tested on animals and smells like a French prostitute? Or, meanest of all, toe socks? (I have webbed toes…toe socks are like giving a toothless person an apple.) Even just writing “Hey you’re nice” on a piece of paper is a better gift for me than those three things. But those things are perfect for other people. You just have to consider the recipient! They say ‘it’s the thought that counts’ for a reason. If you are going to do presents, do them well or don’t do them at all (and focus instead on what the holidays are really about – miracle babies). <\/div>\n
<\/hr>\n
<\/div>\n

<\/span>\"Picture\"<\/a>Screw you and all your toes.<\/span><\/span> <\/p>\n

     Most gift guides feature a lot of nice things that the compiler of the guide would like to get, all based on that writer’s personality. This is almost as bad! You guys don’t care what I<\/em> want, right? (I mean, it’s no secret: I want tickets to every Broadway show I haven’t yet seen, plus a private audience with politicians so that I may yell at them.) What I want won’t help you in your gifting endeavor. Hell, I hate most of the stuff on this list. But the people with the personalities I describe will love it. That’s the point! You have to think about the actual person. 
     Also, I wanted to make a list based on personality types. I dumbed down the descriptors a tad, and I’m sure you’ll think, hey that describes different kinds of people! But for the most part it works doing it this way. You won’t find any crap below about e.g. “What to Buy Your Friend Who Loves Movies” because a) everyone freaking loves movies and b) if you have a friend whose main defining characteristic is loving movies, you don’t need help buying him a gift. See, e.g., <\/em>‘What To Get Your Friend Who Loves Baseball”; “What To Get Your Friend Who Loves Working Out”; “What To Get Your Friend Who Loves Cooking With Fancy Olive Oils”. 
     No more checklist gifts! You with me? Let’s get started. <\/div>\n
