The Art of Gift-Giving: How to Master the Bottom Drawer
Ahhhh, the giving of the gifts — the beautiful tradition of stressing out over what to buy, frantically searching for something that doesn’t scream "I forgot about you until last night," and hoping you nail it.
But let’s be real. We’ve all received gifts that are so bizarre, you wonder if the giver was playing a prank. And what do we do with these oddities? We toss them into the bottom drawer, of course! You know the one—the drawer where the most unusual, useless, and downright hilarious gifts go to die... until you remember them just in time for the next gift-giving occasion. Here’s to the art of regifting without getting caught!
The Bottom Drawer Hall of Fame
Let’s start with some comical gift ideas, the gems hiding in that drawer:
- The Pet Rock: Complete with a leash and adoption papers. Because everyone needs a low-maintenance pet that does absolutely nothing.
- Battery-Powered Mini Disco Ball for Handlebars: For when you want your bike to say, “I’m here to party!”
- Glow-in-the-Dark Fuzzy Dice: Because nothing says ‘cool’ like a set of neon dice dangling from your rear view mirror.
- A Hanging Air Freshener for Motorbikes: Yes, it exists. And yes, someone actually thought it would make a great gift.
- Books You Never Knew You Needed: “How to Juggle Chainsaws,” “How to Navigate Food Shopping on a Unicycle,” “How to Start Your Own Cult: A Beginner's Guide,” and my personal favorite, “Teach Your Cat Gun Safety in 21 Days.” A must-read, clearly.
The Regifting Game: High Stakes, High Laughter
Now, here’s where things get tricky. Regifting is an art form, and like any artist, you must proceed with caution. That adorable pet rock? It could make the perfect gag gift—unless, of course, you accidentally give it back to the person who gave it to you. (Thank you, sticky notes that never stay put!) Nothing screams awkward like your grandad opening the willy warmer gift grandma knitted for you last Christmas.
So, what’s the key to avoiding this disaster? Keep a mental note, or better yet, a spreadsheet—because nobody’s memory is that good after all those holiday drinks and parties. And if you’re caught? Play it cool. Just laugh it off and say, "I knew you'd love it so much, I got you another one!"
Shop 'Til You Drop... or Click
For those of us who’d rather avoid the whole "post-it note fail" situation, there’s always the option of not stepping foot in a single store. Why brave the cold, the crowds, and the likelihood of catching a virus when you can shop online?
Imagine this: you, on the couch, feet up, cup of tea in hand, and a plate of chocolate chip cookies by your side. That’s how shopping should be done.
