The Victims Shoe Horn
FOR THE FASHIONISTA

The Victims Shoe Horn

She makes great sacrifices to look that good. Sacrifices involving 8am Pilates classes and towering heels. (Sacrifices you appreciate.) This shoehorn that kind of looks like a switchblade helps her step into those heels with a bit of badassery. Later comes your sacrifice: helping her take them off.

50 Years of Lakers
FOR THE HISTORY BUFF

50 Years of Lakers

When you give this gift of literature—and by literature we mean a half-century of hook shots, no-look passes and short shorts—you're not just enriching minds, you're also helping save the print world. All the content is repurposed from newspapers for fun and profit.

Box out for it here

Mini Atlas Pen Holder
FOR THE WRITER

Mini Atlas Pen Holder

Because the pen is forever mightier than the sword, Tweak99 now offers the proper presentation—like a kneeling Atlas, heaving said pen up into the heavens, or into your favorite writer friend's hands. It also works for mini-swords.

Let the heaving begin here

The Massage Pen From Zipper Gifts
FOR THE WORKAHOLIC

The Massage Pen From Zipper Gifts

And if Atlas looks too empty-handed to be wrapped up all alone, this battery-operated pen offers a way for your stressed-out pal to relax a bit in the office. The innovation will be much appreciated, and the mild creepiness won't be your problem.

Royal VKB's Nutcracker
FOR THE STRANGER

Royal VKB's Nutcracker

There's always that one person you have to buy for, despite the fact you know absolutely nothing about them. Thanks to the esteemed shopkeepers of A+R, it's not a problem—this simple, design-y nutcracker handles nuts of any size and keeps the mess contained.
