So you can do it while procrastinating at work.
For your pill-popping sister
Need a break from your sibling’s anxious tendencies to over think everything? Present her with this adorably kitsch Jonathan Adler Quaaludes container. Maybe this time she’ll take a hint and quit the histrionics. Who knows? Miracles are known to happen during Christmas!

For your louche, rich friend
Does your friend still wax nostalgic about the good old college days when he’d wake up with a hangover and puke all over his unwashed shirt? Does he moan about how his banking/investing/insert-other-high-paying-job-here career isn’t panning out the way he imagined it?
Instead of letting him bitch and moan nonstop, present him with these sommelier wine glasses. Created by Czech designer Maxim Velovsky?, the glasses are modeled after the kind of plastic Dixie cups your friend probably slammed into his head, post chugging, during beer pong. This way he gets to have the best of both worlds: the nostalgia of his less-fancier days and a little class (courtesy of the glasses’ design origins and price).

For the microphone-whore
You know a microphone whore when you see one. It’s the girl who just won’t stop hogging the mic at karaoke. It’s the dude who thinks he’s hot shit at Rockeoke even if the crowd’s been booing him for the past 10 minutes. This is the perfect gift for people who love the sound of their own voice. This portable karaoke mic can be hooked up to any 5G video iPod, iPhone, MP3 or DVD player. With this stowed in their totes at all times, they probably won’t feel the need to steal your limelight at the next after work karaoke session.
What: Video iPod karaoke system

For your wordsmith pal
There are more wholesome ways to pass the time than drink yourself silly or drink yourself into a stupor. Hasbro’s most popular game (in my opinion, at least) makes for the perfect Christmas gift or party favor. Taboo is a game of wits — so it’s not the kind of thing best played when drunk. Friends who have a penchant for synonyms or word play should enjoy this for many years to come.
What: Taboo

For your hard-partying girlfriend
Partying till dawn at Embassy does not an early bird make. Help your friend stay on the right side of the time-card machine with this handy, dandy robo clock. No, it doesn’t make you coffee in the a.m. or punch you in the face. Hit the snooze button and Clocky rolls away, blasting the kind of sleep-proof noise that forces you to get out of bed. Instead of the usual clock that patiently waits as you hit the snooze button over and over again, Clocky can jump from your bedside table and roll away to look for a hiding place. This kind of gadget could put your mother out of business.
What: Clocky The Alarm That Runs Away

For your wisecracking partner in crime
Few remember the film Juno without remembering its breakout star. No, not Ellen Page. (Although she deserved that Oscar.) I’m talking about the cheeseburger phone that looked like something I would’ve sold my soul for in the fifth grade. Perfect for your smarty-pants friend with the gift of gab.
What: Cheeseburger phone

For your movement-challenged dad
Remember how your dad was always yelling about the remote? “Where is it?†he’d moan from the couch, not moving an inch in order to look for it. Instead, he’d assign you and your siblings the handy task of looking for it. Well if your dad is anything like mine, he’ll adore this remote light switch. Designed by Tobias Wong, the man responsible for the knock-off Burberry pins that made their way to an actual Burberry campaign, this nifty gadget controls any light fixture within a 100-foot radius. So the next time your dad orders you to switch off the light or turn on the air-conditioner, you can wordlessly hand him this advanced in technology and save yourself the energy from lecturing him on the merits of exercise.

For your geeky coworker
Trekkie accessories usually don’t look as fabulous as this adorable 1 GB Mimobot flash disk. Patterned after Star Wars’ C-3PO, the golden god of flash disks comes equipped with Star Wars trivia stored in the memory stick and a zippered carrying case. The perfect way to accessorize your otherwise style-challenge officemate.
