Lastly, I’ve been flagged for c/p content before as it violates the community guidelines of this site, so that is not an option, either.

Strange. Maybe @HappyOnion will figure it out, too.

I got through to read the article with no issues. Maybe try clearing cache on your phone or computer, @HappyOnion?

Two things that I could see buying for myself:

And The Magic Spice because garlic, lime and salt? Why not?

On further reading I saw stuff that wouldn’t require the sale of our house.

It’s a fun list, with many affordable things :slight_smile:

Yeah, there are many ridiculous items for astronomical prices, but some other items are definitely reasonable enough for gifting.

Damn this banana boot actually looks good though.

There’s something for everyone :wink:

WaPo has a really stupid gift guide in today’s paper. $168 for a hairbrush? A $280 dog bed that looks like, well, a regular old dog bed.
