Last Minute Christmas Things!

Ah, the life of a procrastinator.  There’s just something about the adrenaline rush you get from the last-minute “oh no, I have to get this done NOW” because there’s no time left to put it off for another day.  I’ve had to send out more than my share of belated birthday cards than I care to admit.  But this holiday season I’ve managed to finish my Christmas list (I think -- I hope I’m not forgetting anyone) with time to spare.

But for the rest of my fellow procrastinators, here’s a quick list (spend less time reading, more time getting through your list!) of last-minute holiday ideas that center around everyone's favorite gift...cold, hard cash!  It has a universal appeal and lets the recipient buy whatever they want – taking the pressure off of you!  Instead of handing them a wad of cash, make it a little more interesting by adding an unexpected twist.

Watch their expression as they pull out a seemingly endless string of money from the Money Machine box.  Or make them work for the money by placing it inside the Money Maze or Pinball Money Puzzle.  Half the fun is watching them try to get to it (as they curse you under their breath, ha ha ha).

Another fun one is the Money Gift Soap.  What will they get? $1, $5, $10, $20 or a $50 bill?  They’ll be squeaky-clean by the time they find out.

You’ve still got some time (but not much, so stop waiting already!) to order and get these gifts in time for Christmas morning.   

See you next week,

Bobby

P.S. Has the lady in your life been dropping hints that she’d like a certain, brilliant “rock” for Christmas? Can’t afford the real thing but want to show her that you WERE listening? If you’re brave enough, give her our whopping 581-carat Glass Diamond to tide her over this holiday season.
