Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A fun and irreverant set of a dozen shotglasses, modeled after the classic Christmas song.
Why we love it:
For some of us, Christmas is all about the Norman Rockwell painting; stockings hung by the blazing fire, over which chestnuts are roasting. It's all about family, and togetherness, and trying not to strangle your annoying relatives, and trying to handle the holiday crowds, and rude store clerks, and endless boring parties, and... ok, maybe the holidays are a wee bit stressful. If you know someone with partying on the relaxation agenda, they may have fun with these. The 12 Shots of Christmas may not exactly be filled with the traditional holiday spirit, but they are pretty entertaining. It's unlikely that your recipient will be able to remember the reason for the season when they're done with them, but then again they probably won't care much either. It's a fun bit of novelty humor for anyone who needs to unwind this season. Just be forewarned, if they wake up with a partridge in a pear tree, they may blame you.
Who we'd give it to:
Partiers, college students, people with crazy relatives, lords-a-leaping, ladies dancing.
