Gin – $175

If you’re a lover of gin, then this “Ginvent calendar” is for you. This box includes 24 mini bottles of from well known and smaller distilleries. It’s a little pricey but hey, it’s worth it.

Socks – $20

The one gift we all truly hated receiving as children, socks. As we grow older we realize the error of our ways, and discover that we’d give anything to keep our toes toasty. Now you can get a new pair of socks every day for 12 days! What’s even better is that they come in lots of themes like Harry Potter, Disney, and Star Wars

Unfortunately, they’re only available in Target stores, so if you know someone who’s heading to one soon, could you let them know that I want a box?

You can also get a Christmas theme pack of 12 socks from TeeHee Socks; they just don’t come in separate days!

Bean Boozled – $10
