Cool Gift of the Day

What it is:
A wall calendar of hilariously funny anti-inspirational phrases with accompanying artwork.
Why we love it:
There's no denying it, a new year is dawning on the horizon. It's creeping round the corner quite insistently, and before you know it, it'll be 2006. Even we cannot deny the steady march forward of time, though we will try our darnedest to inject a little fun and humor into it. If you know someone who is dreading the turning of the New Year, why not give them a little wry humor to make the days seem more appealing. The Demotivators line has come out with their latest darkly funny calendar for 2006, and it's sure to remind anyone that it's best not to take anything in life too seriously. The Demotivators are a wickedly funny line of products that satire traditional motivational corporate artwork, turning the schlocky photos of skiers accompanied by inspirational phrases into bitingly clever parodies. With such fine examples as "Planning - Much work remains to be done before we can announce our total failure to make any progress.", the Demotivators are sure to make your recipient just leap into the New Year, ready to meet the day. Or, well, at least give them a good laugh as they slouch towards January.
Who we'd give it to:
Office drones, the grumpy, the ironic, disaffected college students.
