Your clumsiest holiday party guest is no match for these non-spill wine glasses

Four mulled wines, three gulps of eggnog, two hot buttered rums, and a partridge in a pear tree raging hangover. Sound familiar?
With so many festive winter libations sipped and sloshed around the holiday season, it’s only a matter of time before some tipsy guest accidentally knocks over a glass (or three) — unless you’re the proud owner of a set of Aura Glasses, that is.
Designed with your clumsy Aunt Brenda in mind, each piece of Aura Glass’ non-spill glassware pivots on a high-grade stainless steel ball to safeguard your drink from accidental spills. This patented design also promotes aeration, thus making it perfect for wine. As an added bonus, these glasses make for some fun mid-party entertainment, as they spin ’round and ’round with the mere touch of a finger. It’s a win-win-win, basically. Read more…

Your wine-loving friends already know what they like.
They’ve got their favorite varietals and they’ve got their favorite brands listed in a note on their phone for reference. In other words, they don’t need you to buy them wine.

What they do need is a sleek copper corkscrew that – surprise – is shaped like a shark! They need silly drink markers for their dinner guests! They need a suction cup glass holder that’ll vastly improve their night time bath ritual!
Where does one find such treasures? The internet, duh. And at less than $20, you’re sure to find something within your budget for every wine drinker in your life. Read more…

Eminem sent Elton John the most hilariously NSFW gift

Eminem may be best known for his rapping, but he has another skill you may not be aware of: creative gift giving.
Just ask Elton John. On Friday, Elton appeared on The Graham Norton Show and spoke about his friendship with Eminem — including the present he received from the rapper to celebrate his civil partnership with David Furnish.
“We had two diamond-encrusted cock rings on velvet cushions,” says Elton.
“And I have to say, they have remained unused.” Read more…

20 useful gifts that no one would buy for themselves

Perhaps the most underrated gift category? Gifts your recipient didn’t know they needed.
As The Atlantic cited in 2014, many gifts fall flat because the giver focused too much on sentimentality and not enough on practicality. In fact, the gifts people prefer seem to be the ones that are the easiest to use.
But sometimes those gifts are boring as hell, right? There’s a reason that socks — while wonderful — are the stereotypical “bad gift.”
But practical and lovely don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Here are 20 gifts that are both useful and beautiful — and, most importantly, that no one is likely to buy for themselves. Read more…
