Ladies and Gentlemen, I’d like to present to you Sproost’s First Annual favorite x-mas gifts. These were lovingly hand-picked by our best and brightest, so take notes. You can thank us later. Or you can help us increase our follower count on Twitter. Yes, we have an unhealthy obsession with Twitter at the moment. Don’t laugh at us.
For her:
For the lovely lady in your life, how about a Luna/Sol Necklace? The charms of 24kt gold vermeil are hand brushed to a matte finish and represent the sun and moon. The charms are suspended one from each of two vermeil chains. While diamonds are indeed a girl’s best friend, gold is a very close second.
For him:
For the grillmaster on your list, get him the Grab n’ Grill Travel Chef BBQ Set. This included a man-sized apron and BBQ tools. The pockets hold stainless steel tongs, a spatula, and a basting brush and fork. It also comes with a heavy-duty oven mitt…just in case. Not included: several cases of beer, lighter fluid, and stick-on eyebrows.
For Mom:
Tell your mom you made this for her and you’ll get nothing but praise for a good six months. This Colossal Cables Throw from Anthropologie is grand enough to get lost in and warm enough to keep the mightiest of drafts at bay. It’s also way more awesome than a Snuggie.
For Dad:
If your Dad is always on the go, the Colby Canvas Hanging Kit will make his traveling easier. The pockets keep his toiletries in order and he can hang it anywhere for quick and easy access.
For your uncle:
Most of us have a crazy uncle (or aunt) who likes to experiment with food. This year, if you’re going to be the guinea pig, you’ll at least know what to prepare for if you buy Mo’s Bacon Choco Chip Pancake Mix. Nothing says yum like the taste of pancakes mixed with chocolate mixed with meat. Mmmm. Finish it off with a few sips of maple syrup and I’d say you have the makings for an afternoon carb coma.
For your best friend:
This is the perfect gift for your best friend (especially if they’re always late or always asking you what day it is). This Laser Cut Bamboo Desktop Clock and Calendar is eco-friendly and the best part is that once the year is over, you can replace the calendar with your favorite picture!
For grandma:
You know all she wants is a picture of you, right? Or a phone call every now and then to talk about the weather and any strange pains she might be experiencing this week. This Ornate Rose Frame is pretty and sure to fit in with her needle-points and doilies.
For the geek in your life:
No collection of geekery would be complete without the Star Trek Original Series Tricorder. It comes with sound/light effects, a hidden compartment, a removable hand scanner, and more. With one single gift, you can make your nerd the most envied nerd in all the land.
For the artist in your life:
If you haven’t heard of the Diana Camera, you are not a true artiste. This camera produces images that are soft and dreamy with super-saturated colors, unpredictable blurring, random contrast, and imperfections. So, why would you want a camera that produces imperfect images? Because it’s cool. That’s why.
And last but not least, for the female golfer who has everything, including 8% body fat, get her this: the Nice Cup in Bra. It’s made in Japan. Of course it is.
It was designed to appeal to Japan’s busy golfing women (I never knew such a population existed). This petite green corset-style garment can be removed and unrolled to create a 1.5-meter-long putting mat. This also means she’ll be putting topless. Nice job, Japan.
When the user sinks a putt into one of the cups, a built-in speaker issues a congratulatory “Nice shot!” The bra also features pockets for extra golf balls and tees, and a detachable flag pin that serves as a score pencil. Because I’m sure she’ll be keeping score. Topless. The bra set comes with a skirt with the words “Be Quiet” printed on the arse, which doubles up as a flag for use on the course. So, I guess she’d also be bottomless. FORE!
And just because I can, here are two pictures to prove it. You’re welcome.
