Crazy Gifts

I can't begin to tell you how much delight curating this post has brought me.

First of all, I love balloons. But only the latex kind, the mylar kind sort of bother me. But in my quest for the perfect man-friendly gift to deliver Cleveland while I was in Indiana, I found that latex balloons are not permitted in hospitals, therefore are more expensive and difficult to come by than they should be.

First of all, I found this under a "For Him" section of a website.Gourmet chocolate covered bananas, incredibly phallic.


     

Here are some gems from the search. Most of these were from BalloonPlanet.com, but they don't deliver in Portland.





The caption says, "Eat veggie soup." Nothing like a little Chicken Head to brighten your day. 

I think this one was almost $100.

Four foot tall free-standing Bugs Bunny. SO CLOSE to getting this one, in hopes that during a disoriented midnight bathroom break, he'd forget it was a life-size balloon and flip out.


Fingers crossed something like this comes my way when I graduate next spring.

 Smiley faces are the worst!!

 I can't even begin to explain why this one is so horrible.

Only thing worse than a smiley face is a smiley face WEARING A HAT! But only if you're celebrating your retirement.




In the end, I was looking for something like this:


But I ended up going with this. Hopefully, it was just the right amount of ridiculousness without devastating my budget.

Students keep getting flowers and huge packages delivered here and I get really jealous. I think I need to buy myself a ridiculous balloon bouquet to over compensate.
