For Christmas I got a Sharper Image giftcard from my girlfriend’s parents. $100 is not too shabby, but at Sharper Image, that isn’t enough to get anything good. SO I have been saving up. I work at a bar up here in Highland Falls, and pull in an extra couple hundred a week flirting with more middle-aged cougars than you could find on the Discovery Channel. Then those f**kers did the unimagineable. They now refuse to honor gift cards! How in the hell can they do that!? Is that even legal?!
Here is my issue from an Accounting 102 perspective. A gift card is a liability - it is similar to debt. Customers buy gift cards with the understanding of cashing them in for merchandise at a later time. When a company defaults or refuses to pay its debts - the companies assets are distributed to those who it owes outstanding debts. I am not saying that I should be allowed to ransack a Sharper Image store for $100 worth of high-tech crap, but no more should they be allowed to keep my $100. I mean WTF?!
Either way, those douchbags at Sharper Image are having a firesale at a bunch of locations. They are even going to liquidate some products online. Be careful, they may decide to charge you $100 extra and be like - “Eh…f**k it, it’s ours now!”
I feel so bad for this poor kid that if I find out who it is I’ll personally send him a new Xbox 360. His parents borrowed a neighbors old Xbox 360 packaging and gave it to their kid for Christmas with a couple of shirts inside.
Track Santa as he makes his deliveries all over the world! Google Maps will refresh Santa’s position every 5 minutes.
I’m gonna spill the beans: Santa doesn’t exist. Sorry to break your hearts. With that said, this site is perfect for those of us with young siblings. They will get a kick out of NORAD Santa Tracker. Stop being so smug and loosen up a little!
This goes out to Askmen.com, The New York Times, Stuff and others:
Stop putting out gift guides that no one other than Bill Gates nephew, Prince Harry or Mark Zuckerberg can afford. Not now and probably not ever will I be able to afford a $2,500 cashmere sweater by some Italian designer whose name I can’t even pronounce. Furthermore, quit it with the same generic gifts - give me some variety, people!
Minor kinks notwithstanding - it’s our first guide; be easy on us - COED Magazine presents our first annual holiday gift guide. Today’s deals are for the people shopping with a budget that want to leave an impact on the gift-receivers.
Feel free to leave links and info to products we forgot to list in the comment section. We will try our best to add them to tomorrow’s gift guide.

Whether it’s decorating a tree, tabletop or doorway this holiday season, nothing spreads holiday cheer better than odd ornaments that make people feel uncomfortable. Deck the halls with…tampon snowflakes? Star Wars menorahs? At least they’re festive, I guess.
