Budget101 Countdown to Christmas Day #5 (1 day left!)

I’m not sure whether or not I can even share this idea, but I guess since I’m still being moderated the mods can delete it if it doesn’t meet the sites guidelines! Last year I made funny wiener cleaner soaps to sell at the craft fairs. You just use melt and pour glycerin soap base, add sparkles or whatever scents you want using essential oils and then pour the soap into donut pans (the baking kind).

Then you add a handmade tag that says “Generic Wiener Cleaner”, one size fits most. You can use the mini donut pan too! Add a little note on the card that says if the wiener cleaner gets stuck soak in COLD water to remove.

HAHAHA, I really did have to take an anger management class so I didn’t lose my job.

We had a White Elephant Exchange at work and a guy that is really serious and quiet reserved ended up with a naughty nurse Halloween costume. It was hilarious, one of the most fun gag exchanges I had ever been in. (oh and he took it all in stride as best as he could) 🙂

I don’t know if it’s the best, but it is the most memorable: last Christmas, we had a gag exchange. The gift I received was from my sis-in-law. She purchased the largest size of nylon “granny panties” she could find.

Then, she mixed melted chocolate with a little red food dye to make the panties appear used. Definitely gonna remember it for years to come.

It took my friend a while to figure out where the sound came from!

The Potty-Pourri Bottles I made last year from the site were a big hit at our Chinese Auction. (I dont know how to link to it, but its right on the gag gifts page on Budget101)

Disclaimer- don’t read the next one if you’re easily offended! Adults Only!

There was very Naughty gift that was passed around, It was a tube of Superglue with a tag on it that said, “Virginity Restoring Cream” by Vagisealed Shut Corp. It was crude, but really Funny at the same time.

Now that there is only my aunt and I left, we are passing it on to cousins with the story of the purple sweatshirt.

Ok not quite sure if you are looking for a gag gift I received or one I gave but I did give a gag gift to someone.

She was having a bad day at work and at home and it isn’t a normal thing to give something to someone you work with but I wanted to make her feel better.

I work at a retail store and there is this one section that has $1 items and I found a little pot that had daisy seeds in it.

She perked right up and it made her day.

gag gifts. hmm. how about filling an old bottle of (or making a fake label) and filling it with exlax.

Also thought I’d point out a note to people. A soda stream is not cost effective as it stands. The syrups and co2 cylinders are costly when you do the math.

$15 sodastream cr2 cylinder makes 60 liters(30 2liter bottles). thats $.50 per 2 liter bottle.
$5 cola flavoring makes 12 liters( 6 – 2liter bottles) $.83 per 2 liter bottle.

Now what would I do with a soda stream? well first I’d experiment with my own syrups, and second I’d hack the machine so it can use a regular co2 tank making the cost closer to around $.02 per 2 liter for the co2, so at that point even 83cents a 2 liter for flavoring is cost effective.

Mine was a Ornament Vase – Crocheted tiny little circle, took the sides up so the ornament could sit upright – took 1 minute to make, and in horrible gaudy colors (fun way to use scraps and get back at someone) 🙂

He asked for some of my empty ones, so I gladly gave him a bag full (I was happy to be rid of them!). Christmas rolled around, and everyone’s stocking was hung neatly awaiting Santa’s arrival.

When I went through the goodies in my stocking on Christmas morning…..there was a black film canister! I had no idea WHY he would have put that in there, but when I turned the canister around, it had a label on it that said “Stool Sample”!!! Well, I was scared to death to open this thing….but I did.

My best ‘gag’ gift was last year at work, we were having a Christmas party with a white elephant exchange. I was told I had to keep it clean…for weeks they told me I had to keep it clean. (not sure what they thought about me…) LOL!.

so I bought dawn dish detergent, toilet bowl cleaner, colorax wipes, pledge and a stack of microfiber rags I bought at Sams club. my gift was never stolen. 🙁 I thought it was funny.

My favorite gift, came as a result of an over-active egg laying cockatiel, w/no mate…cockatiel eggs in abundance!! Buy or make a simple nest of grasses, twigs & moss, add 3-5 cockatiel (or any other small variety of eggs) sprayed gold or with a few coats of glue & glitter, add the following Folk legends:
folk legends depict the first christmas as a magical time when allof nature celebrated wondrous events. stars fell from the heavens, ordinaryweeds became beautiful blossoms, and animals and birds received the gift ofspeech.

legends claim that all the animals gathered at the manger to celebratethe birth of the christ child.

a barnyard bird, the rooster, is credited with waking the animalkingdom to invite them to the celebration in the stable. awakened by theunexpected midnight crowing of the rooster, birds left their nests to spreadthe news to all parts of the world.

Our pastor was there, and he wasn’t the only one blushing… lol.

I once made naked sock dolls wrapped in towels to hide their privates, but when you sneak a peek under the towels, they were anatomically correct. They got lots of giggles.
