This is the one where I’m not ashamed.

I’m finished with my Christmas shopping.  This past weekend I went with my Sister and we finished buying for my parents.  For each of my parents we included one package that is kind of a funny gift…but still something that they’ll use once or twice.

My Dad’s funny-but-useful gift is a branding iron for his steaks.  Now when he’s out back grilling he can brand his initials onto the slabs of meat.

And for my mom, we got a Snuggie (also known as a Freedom Blanket or a Slanket).  And where we were shopping they had a buy-one-get-one-free offer…that was impossible to refuse.  So:

I’m always wrapping myself up in a blanket while watching TV.  So it made sense to get the comfy brown one for myself.  Now I have sleeves.
