Yeah, I totally stole this idea from Neil at Citizen Of The Month. But wouldn't the web be a much funnier place if we all stole some of his ideas?
With the holiday buying season in full force, I thought it might be fun to highlight some clothing, books, and other things certain bloggers are offering (Unlike Neil, I didn't ask permission before doing this. So if you see something of yours below and would rather not be associated with me, let me know and I'll take it down.). Like Martha, here are a few of my favorite things:
Clothing
Everyone needs clothing, you know? It's not like we're living the Hedonism life ("it's like Club Med, but everything is naked"). So if you're looking for some shirts for someone in your life, here are some suggestions:
Bad Monkey T-ShirtI actually own this shirt. Chicks dig it. Kids dig it. I dig it. This shirt was created by the talented Dave at Blogography. He also sells other t-shirts, buttons, prints of his original artwork, and reproductions of some of his photos.
Mominatrix T-ShirtThis is a very cool shirt. I wanted to buy a black one for myself but didn't due to the fact that it's fitted for the ladies. That and I'd probably get a lot of weird stares (more so than usual).
Don't Sleep Through Sex Ed T-ShirtThis shirt, created by Weirdgirl, cracks me up. If I were pregnant (highly unlikely, but you never know), I would wear this shirt and just hang out at high school campuses all day. She also offers a DILF t-shirt.
Books
Here are books authored by two of my favorite bloggers:
Diary of IndignitiesThis book was written by Patrick Hughes, the author of the very funny Bad News Hughes blog. Any book that is categorized in Amazon under the phrases poo water, Burger King, ass blood, and Paul Lynde has to be a future Pulitzer Prize winner.
Rockabye: From Wild to ChildThis book, by Rebecca Wolf of the insightful Girl's Gone Child, won't be published until March 28, 2008, but you can preorder a copy now. I am eagerly anticipating this title.
Makeover
With parties to attend and family to see, everyone wants to look their best during the holiday season. Shouldn't you feel the same way about your blog?
Tool Of The MatriarchyMotherbumper designs blog banners and buttons at Tool Of The Matriarchy. Her prices are very reasonable. If you're interested, you can view some of her past designs here.
Don't Forget The Little Ones
Yeah, I guess you need to get the little bastards something for Christmas, too.
Cool Mom Picks Safer Toy GuideIf you don't feel like rolling the dice with mass-produced and possibly lead-filled toys from China, check out the Cool Mom Picks Safer Toy Guide. They list handcrafted, organic, and safer toys for your young ones.
Those are my picks for the Cynical Dad 2007 Holiday Gift Guide. If you have any other suggestions, feel free to leave them in the comments.
Of course, cash makes a nice present, too.
