Shameless self-promotion it may be, but Stupid.com’s fifth annual list of the 10 most wacky and insane gifts should bring a smile to retailers already weary from the onset of the annual silly season…
This year’s pearlers include self-stirring coffee mugs, ‘pooping reindeer’ sweaters and giant Christmas tree hats…
“The gifts occupying this year’s list may be too stupid for the one per cent”, says Stupid.com’s VP Justin Scott. “But we’re confident the gags we’ve selected for this year’s list are sure to make the 99 per cent laugh out loud.”
