Don’t know how last minute this item is, but – seriously – diamond ring from Grandma takes on a whole new meaning when the rocks are Lifegems

Oy, sorry – Bossy is too slacker-ish for suggestions.

Bacon salt.. bought that for my dad, lol.
This is awesome too: USB Desk Vacuum.. a retro vacuum for the crumbs.
And if you are such a slacker you don’t want to decorate, Perpetual Kid has the USB Christmas Computer Kit.

Can’t believe I’m going to acknowledge I know about this (my hubby’s friend sent it around a week ago): http://www.amazon.com/Northern-Tool-and-Equipment-17/dp/B000KRFLC0/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=hi&qid=1197487664&sr=8-1

For the erudite slacker: action figures from major works of art! The Jheronymus Bosch collection is particularly choice.

If you really want to show what a slacker you are at the holidays you can give a USED Anti Monkey Butt Powder.

USB Heated Gloves

There are other ones out there, but these are the cutest and cheapest I’ve seen.

KurtRoedeger – Thank you! I just spent $36 on bacon salt!

Jeffrey Lebowski “action” figure.

Nothing says “Birth of Christ; Prince of Peace” quite like red and green shotgun shell Christmas lights.

I just bought a “Yo, God” magnet, thanks for the tip.
Posted by Senso on December 13th, 2007.
“Merkin” – ha! I haven’t heard that word in years. Nice.
Posted by Nathan on December 13th, 2007.
Oh! And you can decorate your “hair down there” in festive holiday colors.

Walgreens has this bin of $9.99 PRE-WRAPPED gifts. Most of them seem geared towards men, nail clipper set, faux leatherman for the keychain, but the coffee cup hot plate warmer I got was a hit at the office.
Each gift is pre-wrapped and has a little to/from card and a bow that you sorta put together on the train or in the car… a cardboard sleeve tells you what you’re buying.
if that’s not for slackers for office white elephant parties, I’m not sure what is!
ok end.

I was in a local hardware store and saw the Bullet Shaped Nosehair Trimmer from http://www.riversedgeproducts.com
It’s, surprisingly, a nosehair trimmer shaped like a large bullet.

When some one first mentioned the Hillary Clinton Nutcracker, I thought they were kidding. Nope. It’s real.
http://www.overstock.com/Home-Garden/Hillary-Clinton-Nutcracker/2568425/product.html
I’m not sure if this other one is for slacker’s, but I totally want one. Really, who wouldn’t a bull shit detector?

So I’ve got two suggestions:
http://www.boingboing.net/2007/12/11/vibrating-bluetooth.html – Vibrating bracelet for people who keep their phones buried in their purses (perhaps mildly useful)
and
https://www.citizen-citizen.com/defaultsecure.aspx?id=133&type=item – 24 carat gold in a pill “turns your innermost parts into chambers of wealth”
