Great Gifts for the Couch Potato Dad

Holiday Gift Guide

Marcus Faith
Is there someone in your life that has no life? What do you get for those gentle souls who can be best defined by their lazy boy? These are trying questions that nag at the base of the spirit body, the Kundilani. It will take powerful magic and voodoo to subdue the expectations of the Couch Potato Dad, whose mind is filled with fantastic notions about what is acceptable due to his overexposure to television. But who are we to judge these men, these worthy men who have striven their entire lives to provide the meat which has held up the strength of our flesh. Without the weariness of our TV fathers, would our minds have known the true value of Education? I hear these words echo throughout eternity with reverence, "You see me, I work like a dog. Get your education.", Well dad, we got ourselves right edumacated, and now we're rakin' in the big bucks...

Gift Idea #1: The Ron co Electric Food dehydrator.

Well what did you think he was going to want? The Ron co Electric Food dehydrator is the stuff of legend. Ron Popeil, who is a sub-deity in certain Oriental sects, developed the Ron co Electric Food Dehydrator in an experiment that went horribly awry. Americans became convinced of the utility of dehydration. Those were dark times. Own a little piece of history.

Gift Idea #2: The Food Saver vacuum sealing system.

I think the main appeal of this machine is its ability to crush twenty four aluminum cans in forty five minutes using suction power alone. Since this is really only impressive once, it may seem strange to give the food saver as a gift. But the couch potato will know all about the particular functions of the food saver and this gives him the satisfaction of knowing that new options have been added to his life, options that he has been trained to use.

Gift Idea#3: A Vibrating Foot Bath.

The couch potato dad often spends many hours on his feet, and this is one of the main reasons he likes to kick back and rest them up. You will add to the quality of his life by buying him a vibrating foot bath. Charles Bukowski swore by foot baths.

Gift Idea#4: Robotic Lawnmower

If you want to whip out the big bucks I suggest a robotic lawnmower. For reasons that are little understood, it pleases a man's heart to no end when his lawn is at a uniform height year round. This little baby will do all your mowing for you and recharge itself as well. You plant a few sensors in the ground to lay out the boundaries of your property and it does the rest. Technology is so advanced nowadays. Next thing you know they'll automate the weather.

Gift Idea #5: The Clapper home automation system.

Yes friends, I'm talking about THE Clapper. The clapper is not just for clapping anymore. You can program the clapper to understand simple voice commands. For example, if you wish for the clapper to turn on your lights when you say the word, "Engage", then the clapper will make it so. Or you can just do the standard "Clap ON, Clap OFF", routine.

Wrap it up in silver wrapping paper with gold ribbon, strap on a note and you're done. Nothing could be easier. All the work is done for you already. You can thank the good folks at associated content for making all of this possible. Happy Holidays and give the old man a firm handshake for me.
