There is a holiday horror story I find myself starring in frequently called “I-have-no-clue-what-to-buy-you.” The story typically ends with me aimlessly roaming the mall, then spending $25 on a Starbuck’s gift card. Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like delicious over-priced drinks. Well, this year’s going to be different. The blog awesomethingstobuy.com speaks for itself. Its writers dig around for the most creative, funny and unusual gifts the Internet has to offer. We’ve selected a few of our favorites.
