As the first thing everyone digs into on Christmas morning, stockings are a pretty significant part of your holiday gift shopping. Filled with small gifts and trinkets, Christmas stockings have been a holiday tradition for centuries. There are many inexpensive ways to fill a stocking…with fruit, candy, pens and pencils…the possibilities are endless. If shopping for stocking stuffers is a source of stress for you, there are many great sites on the web with lists of stocking stuffer gift ideas for all ages. Brian over at the Christmas Stocking Stuffers blog has put together a nice summary of ideas to get your shopping off to a good start.
If you’re looking for a funny gag gift that will make almost anyone laugh and has a low likelihood to offend, these Fake Spill Seat Savers might fit the bill. Coming in the form of a ketchup packet, a spoon or a cup filled with ice cream, or puddles of red wine or coffee, this unique gift is intended to help you save your seat at busy functions. After all, no one else will want to sit there if there’s a big blob of vanilla ice cream or a puddle of coffee.
You can also use it to play a joke on friends and family by leaving one of these acrylic “spills” on carpet or furniture. The more of a “clean freak” they are, the more priceless their expression will be when they see a huge red wine puddle on their white suede sofa.
Even though it’s a gag gift, the fake spill is rather innocuous — at least, much more so than a fart machine. If you’re truly stuck for an idea on what to get someone, the fake spill might be a good choice, especially if your gift recipient has a healthy sense of humor or is a jokester himself.
The spilled take-out coffee cup is perfect for a business meeting, while the glass of red wine fits more with a dinner party theme. Save your seat at an amusement park with the spilled Ben & Jerry’s ice cream cup, or add your own mug to the fake coffee spill. All of the spills, save for the ketchup packet, look realistic. (The ketchup packet appears a bit too wide and doesn’t look like any fast food ketchup packet I’ve ever seen. The rest, however, look great.) The Fake Spill is a good gag gift candidate for nearly anyone on your list, and they’re not too pricey either, with the ice cream spoon spill less than $5.
