Might want to buy a little barber shop quartet outfit for your pup too. Go the whole nine. “Add some low-cost laughs to your frequent frolics with Fido! This shiny black toy is a ball on one end, and a giant cartoon mustache on the other. Dogs naturally pick up the ball…which leaves the outrageously funny mustache sticking out! Dogs also love to hold the ball in their mouth, and shake the mustache back and forth!”
Give some street cred to your home! “Manhole Mats are clever visual puns. They’re great graphic designs. They’re reproductions of some of the world’s great manhole covers. They’re 24″ diameter, nylon flocked, super durable, indoor/outdoor floor mats. Street style for your home! FEET FIRST mats are made from 100% recycled truck tires with durable nylon flocking, usable indoors or out, washable, durable, and endearing.”
Magnets are fun, plain and simple, but insanely “strong” magnets are fun and dangerous! Read danger notice here. So if you’re an extreme type of guy or gal who enjoys attracting or repelling things, this canister will keep you mesmerized and magnetized! Bonus, dress up like this guy and buy yourself some Magnetic Thinking Putty to go with your new magnets. You may never leave the house again.
Not my favorite R.E.M. album, but still one of the all-time great albums from start to finish. This remastered deluxe edition sounds amazing, even better than the cassette I still own. “Reckoning ‘confirms R.E.M. as one of the most beautifully exciting groups on the planet.’ wrote NME in 1984. R.E.M.’s second full-length album also prompted The Washington Post to proclaim that ‘there isn’t an American band worth following more than R.E.M.’”
“Now, for the first time, Cross is weaving his media mockery, celebrity denunciation, religious commentary and sheer madness into book form, revealing the true story behind his almost existential distaste of Jim Belushi (The Belush), disclosing the up-to-now unpublished minutes to a meeting of Fox television network executives, and offering up a brutally grotesque run-in with Bill O’Reilly.” – Publishers Weekly
For your refined tea-drinking friends. “After a hard day of work, Mr Alfonso likes to have a cup of tea while Poncho takes an afternoon nap.” Silkscreen print on 280 gm paper: 10 x 13.5 inch, 4 colors silkscreen, numbered and signed by Argentinian illustrator Sollinero.
“It traces the evolution of the show from its inspiration in the civil rights movement through its many ups and downs – from Nixon’s trying to cut off its funding to the rise of Elmo – via the remarkable personalities who have contributed to it.”
Looking to embarrass that wine guzzling friend at your next dinner party, just bust out this monster glass. Better yet, office pollyanna, let everyone know Marci is a total lush. Sure it’s a gag gift but on a lonely winter weeknight after a rough day at the office, you just might want to fill this baby up to the tippy top with your favorite boxed Merlot, then bust out the Slanket and cozy up with a couple of Top Chef eps on the ol’ DVR .
Music nerds and art lovers unite! Enjoy 140 of Ryan’s best color illustrations promoting some of your favorite bands with his signature muted colors and whimsical edge. Steve Albini puts it best, “Jay Ryan takes the germ of an idea and makes it uniquely great. His genius is in knowing what matters and what doesn’t… His genius is in having the image matter.”
This little bit font cleverness made me chuckle. It’s a perfect gift for all your uppity design nerd friends who implore you to see “Helvetica” the film (decent fawn-fest, but not enough there to sustain an entire doc), and who pretend to get sick at the sight of Comic Sans. It’s also a lovely gift for your hot chick friends who enjoy people reading their chests.
