Somehow Post 2 got wiped and then readded today. I have no clue what the hell happened either. Anyway. Moving on…

DISCLAIMER: Every day for the next bunch I will post a Holiday Gift Guide entry, until there are 12. They will only show up on weekdays. It will contain gifts of all sorts that I find I don’t see in many gift guides and will have links to where to buy the items. The final item will be the “self-pimp”, a link to fiction that either I have written or a friend of mine has.

If you have an idea for a strange gift, feel free to mail me, but send me a link to a store people can buy it, and a description.

Also, if you own any of the items, any of them at all, please speak up! People will love to have input along the lines of what you do and don’t like about a certain item. So speak up and share your feelings on things.

So let’s start!

It’s the Avenging Narwhal Play Set, from Archie McPhee (who else?). $12.95 per set, and well… full of McPhee goodness. Fuckin’ Narwals.

It’s a peeler. It’s a bird. It is not a plane, nor is it Superman. Anyway, ya. It’s a peeler. Supposedly the handle, though bird shaped, is quite comfortable. The curved peeler seems fairly useful as well. $9.95, for a bird peeler. Peeling birds not recommended.

Carabiner pens are cool. You know this, in your heart, to be true. It’s a pen, but it’s a carabineer. $7.50 each, buy 2 or more for $6.50 each. And for that price it makes a fun stocking stuffer that people can attach to things and then forget so when they say “I don’t have a pen” you can scoff and point out the carabiner pen they clipped to their bag months ago and forgot about. Get that? Free scoffing with purchase.

Already Been Chewed Cookie Cutters. How horrible and tempting is that idea, I ask you? $11.99 gets you an assortment of 4. Just so very wrong. And wonderful.

Self-Pimp time!

Adrienne Jones’ The Hoax is a winding novel of suspense, intensity and has left at least one person agog. No lie! They claim to have been left agog! Dude.

Anyway, to be fair here I have not yet read The Hoax. I plan to. I just know that Mizz Jones is damned smart, knows her shit and a ton of people I trust all love the book. So why don’t you?

The Book Desc: How well do you know your closest friends? Are they loyal? Are they trustworthy? Are they human? A magnetic false prophet with an unnatural power to enchant; a government agent trying to profile an inhuman breed of terrorist; an otherworldly mastermind posing as an out of work beach bum. And the man in the middle, Patrick Obrien, a humble accountant who discovers his best friends are more than they seem. As he struggles to escape their trap to use him in a global catastrophe scheme, Patrick finds himself ensnared by the FBI agent, who pits him against the very people he is running from.
