Last minute shopping? No problem!

I've done a ton of online shopping this Christmas. "Shopping" being the keyword...haven't actually bought but one item by mail order. (Except for that I-really-deserve-this-and-I-don't-care-if-Christmas-is-for-giving splurge I went on last week at Sephora. If you haven't tried Philosophy products, you really need to throw a shopping tantrum, too.)

Anyway, it occurred to me while I was shopping that people will buy anything. Why else would the following items be available:

Racing Nuns -- holy hilarity for only $5.99.

Hug Me pillow -- how much if you want the whole man?

The Ex Five Piece Knife Holder -- with "unique holder." To say the least. There was a day when I would have bought this.

CD Destroyer -- Die, CD! Die! I'd buy one but I have a three-year-old who can also accomplish the task of ruining a CD, and he's free. (By the way, once I found this site, I stopped looking for wacky items people actually buy, since they are all for sale here.)

Ya'll have fun shopping out there...

Not to disappoint anyone, but those nuns appear to be priced at $16.99, not $5.99. (But you get free shipping.) Can't imagine buying those ... $16.99 could pay for some good stuff at Sephora.

The Hug-me pillow would be a good gag gift at somebody's office party.

Well, if I'd only known about the Hug Me pillow a year ago...

The knife block cracks me up and I know Mama was looking for one, maybe this is it?
