Friends, the big day is nigh and if you aren’t done shopping yet you’re almost out of time! So, if you find yourself stuck because you didn’t send out a package to your aunt/friend/cousin/nephew in Walla Walla, don’t despair! Why don’t you just do what so many of us do when pressed for time and gift ideas?
That’s right, your friendly neighborhood Staples website has done it again–you can send some holiday cheer with your own face (and up to 3 friends’ faces) and voice(s) in an ‘elf-gram’ at Elfyourself! But you had better hurry because elfing ends on January 8th.
Now if you find yourself still hunting for last minute gifts for the holiday stockings, why not cast out your friends’ old and dull band-aids and replace them with strips of bacon band aids from Urban Outfitters? Who wouldn’t want to cover a boo boo with a strip of ‘bacon’?
And lastly, amigos, if you find that you’re all ready for the holidays with presents wrapped and nestled under the tree, cookies baked and packed up in tins, well then reward yourself with some fun by playing the online version (free!) of Pictionary at ISketch! Try your hand (or mouse) and drawing for online crowds and guess their drawings in this interactive game! I love to show off my lack of artistic abilities when playing, but be warned: there is always some joker who manages to make his/her pictures look GREAT while yours are a series of spastic and jerky mouse movements. To heighten the fun, create a private room and invite your friends from around the globe for a virtual holiday game night. Enjoy!
