Since we are already in the midst of the gift-giving season, I won't bore you with a guide for the 'sexy man' or your 'pregnant sister'. I'm sure you've gotten those gifts already, and I commend you for being an early shopper. If your anything, like me, you still have people on your list that need gifts. I always find I wait until the last minute to shop for the annoying people in my life. Now don't get this gift guide wrong! It's not a gift people for people you dislike. The gifts are really good, and you should buy a second one for yourself. The gift suggestions are for people that have habits that get on your nerves. Tis the season to subtly point them out with sarcastic gifts
For the Person with Body Odor:
This is for the person you gave a gift basket to last year, filled with scented soaps, body sprays, and flavorful deodorants. Unfortunately, they didn't get the hint about their hygiene issue. Since you can't change the person, change the air around them with this personal humidifier. With a few drops of essential oil, the air that you share with them becomes fragrant and funk-free. This personal humidifier is also great for dry skin, or any place you need a bit of moisture in your life. Violife Personal Humidifier $39.99

For The Guy That Talks and Acts Tough (but isn't):
We all know that guy who talks that macho talk, but can't walk the walk. He's a star athlete in his mind, always talking about his glory high school football days. Let's face it he's a punk! Make him put his macho where is mouth is, by entering him into a Tough Mudder competition. This is a challenge where teams compete in a 5 or 10-mile obstacle course through the mud. While you're at it give it to all the fake macho guys in your life, and make them a team. www.Toughmudder.com
For the Rude Person:
I'm a native New Yorker, so being rude sometimes comes with my territory. I'm not speaking about the occasional rude person, but the always rude person. No matter what the occasion, day are not they are just rude. For this person, we recommend the book: Manners That Matter Most - The Easy Guide to Etiquette at Home and in the World $11.99
For the Person Who Minds Everyone's Business:
A sarcastic gift for the nosy person in your life. This tissue box holder is a fun gift for the person that has their nose in everyone's situation. Hopefully they will get the hint. The Retro 51 Tiki Tissue Box Holder $19.95
For the Uptight Person:
This gift is for the person who walks around with their jaws clitched. You know the type, they work too much, sleep not enough and make everyone around them miserable. Every time you see them you want to yell, take a chill pill and relax. In their mind relaxing is prohibited. Give them the world's first luxury un-aged prohibition style whiskey. Drinking is allowed now, they can relax. Manhattan Moonshine $39.99
For the Person Who's Always Frowning:
This gift is for the constant 'frown-er' in your life. You want to yell at them, "If you don't stop frowning your face is going to stay like that"! Give this person facial patches, that when applied to the forehead they re-educate the muscles to relax. It's like botox in a box. Frownies Facial Patches $16.40
For the Little Girl Who Throws a Fit When it's Time to Comb Her Hair:
Let's not call the cute little girl in your life is annoying. How about we say, that her hair combing time becomes a challenge to the comb-ee. Here is a creative book to sooth hair-combing time. The book is a tale of a child, who has a tumble of lovely blonde curls that she never wanted to get combed. Her mother told her that there must be 'dinosaurs living in there.' Dinosaurs Living in My Hair.
$17.99
In conclusion: This is a very last minute gift guide but there is still time to order from Amazon for Christmas. Personally I tend to give annoying people their gifts late anyway (just to annoy them for a change). Writing this article will make me look at the gifts I receive this year in a different light. I'm sure I have habits that are annoying to some; let's see which gift is bold enough to tell me.
Enjoy your holiday!
