Here are a few ideas that might help you with your Christmas shopping this year.
Monopoly for Millennials
Hasbro has introduced a new version of the classic board game for Millennials.
Instead of playing the game to see how much real estate you can control the Millennial version is focused on collecting "experiences". "Forget real estate, you can't afford it anyway" reads the cover of the game.
Experience points are earned by visiting such things as a music festival, a farmers’ market, a vegetarian bistro, a bike share and your friend’s couch.
On the game cover Mr. Monopoly is sporting Millennial-appropriate plastic shades, earphones and a participation medal while holding a latte in one hand a snapping a selfie with the other.
One chance card reads, "You hear of something that offends you. Go and complain on social media. Collect 50 retweets.”
It appears that some Millennials have done just that. They are not happy with the light-hearted take on their generation.
Someone must like it. The game was being sold exclusively at WalMart but is reportedly sold out. The $20 game has been selling on eBay and other sites for upwards of $60.
MAGA Build The Wall Blocks
Another idea is the MAGA Build The Wall building blocks that is being sold by Keep and Bear and conservative apparel and gifts website.
"The set includes 100 building-block pieces and a Trump figurine wearing a Make America Great Again hard hat. The pieces snap together, allowing kids -- or their parents -- to build a section of a miniature border wall" according to CNN.
I particularly like the Trump figurine who looks to be totally in-charge and completely dedicated to finish the project on-time and under budget.
It is not a bad representation. However, his red tie is way too short and blue suit is way too light.
The blocks are recommended for children age 5+. However, my grandchildren knew who President Trump was at ages 3 and 4.
Coffee Mugs- Pro-Trump and Anti-Trump
You can cover all your giving with the simple choice of a coffee mug. Both anti-Trump and pro-Trump mugs are available on Amazon. That should cover about everyone. There are not many left in middle.
I don't know if it means anything but the anti-Trump mug only sells for $9.95 while the pro-Trump mug costs $17.95.
Shop till you drop...or...until your fingers fail you.
