Progressive Presents: Anti-Bush Sentiments Find their Way into Funny Christmas Gifts

Progressive Presents: Anti-Bush Sentiments Find their Way into Funny Christmas Gifts












San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) October 23, 2006 —

The Christmas buzz is beginning to sound in the ears of shoppers everywhere. Combine that with the buzz of disappointment over the last presidential election and you have the essence of the two new products just released by Blue Funk Productions—The Official Countdown Calendar for a Bruised and Battered Body Politic and The Unofficial White House Advent Calendar. These tongue-in-cheek holiday gifts are sure to raise a chuckle from people of all political persuasions, including neo-cons with a shred of a sense of humor. And the socially conscious gift giver will also be pleased to know that Blue Funk donates 10% of net profits to charity.

Blue Funk Productions is a small group of citizens that banded together in protest after the 2004 election—thus the name Blue Funk to highlight their disappointment in the color-coded map of the post-election U.S. They hope to entertain, educate and activate all who are outraged at the current state of affairs, while bolstering our alarmed electorate through the remaining dark days of the Bush League. One of the founders, Averel Wilson, offers this helpful advice: “We’ve got your holiday shopping covered for your Progressive friends and relatives. Coal should work for anyone else.” Their politically humorous gifts can be ordered online at BlueFunkProductions.com.

The first in the clever line of funny Christmas gifts is the 2007 Official Countdown Calendar for a Bruised and Battered Body Politic. This unique calendar includes everything from trivia to classic quotes to make the long road to the next inauguration seem shorter. While new atrocities created by the Bush Administration appear daily, the lucky recipient of a Blue Funk Countdown Calendar will have something to distract and entertain the mind while it endures the last tortures of Bush’s final term.

In a twist on a traditional Holiday favorite, Blue Funk is introducing the only known Advent calendar of its kind: The Unofficial White House Advent Calendar. In lieu of the predictable chocolates, cherubs and candy canes, people will delight in the cast of characters and witty lines lurking behind these White House windows.

Blue Funk also encourages advocacy with their funny Christmas gifts by donating 10% of net profits to two deserving charities. Partner Louise Rush highlights, “An important part of our goal is social entrepreneurship. We want the ten percent of our profits that we donate to amount to something meaningful.” One of these sponsored charities is Summer Search, which aids low-income, at-risk high school students. The Fistula Foundation is the second charity, which helps people in Addis Ababa Fistula Hospital located in Ethiopia. This year, Progressives can now give the gift of humor and hope with these satirical stocking stuffers from Blue Funk Productions. For more informati! on on t hese humorous gifts, please visit BlueFunkProductions.com.

About Blue Funk Productions:

Four friends formed Blue Funk Productions after they were “shocked and awed” by the results of the 2004 election. They began making satirical gifts to enlighten and entertain the politically engaged. BlueFunkProductions.com is a full service and secure online store. Visitors are encouraged to hop on the links page, where they can learn more about everything from the environment to advocacy to humor.

Calendars have long been traditional Christmas gifts to hand over at the festive season as we wind down from one year and start making plans to celebrate the onset of the new one. The arrival of the Advent Calendar in the nineteenth century marked the beginning of a new tradition of counting down the days until Christmas. And is now perhaps the only time of year when parents will allow their children to ‘open the little windows’ and eat a chocolate before breakfast. But Advent calendars are only really fun for one month in the year, which is perhaps why we turn to those more ‘popular’ calendars for the rest of the time.

You only need to walk around the high street in the run up to Christmas. Which is roughly around July these days, to see which popstars and footballers are glamorously poised for the camera in the vain hope that we might buy them as Christmas gifts, take them home with us and worship them for the next twelve months. These commercial calendars cover almost every sport and celebrity going, even those loyal Cliff-’Mistletoe and Wine’-Richard fans will never be disappointed. And what’s wrong with that?

Well…it’s just not very Christmassy is it? Surely we can do better when Christmas gift shopping?

Perhaps you’ve often wondered what it might feel like to be observed in such a manner, or perhaps your partner has always dreamed of being famous enough for someone to want to buy a calendar of them? Well, making this happen is probably not quite as bizarre as you might think – Santa really does make dreams come true. It’s an original Christmas gift idea that combines the intimate with the professional to give you something much more unique, and something that can be treasured for a long time to come – a personalised calendar!

We’re not talking about twelve saucy photographs of your loved one draped over the bonnet of an expensive car, (though you could always make this a reality too if you invest in a Christmas gift Ferrari/Lamborghini Thrill experience day!), but by simply selecting from a variety of calendars such as the ‘For Her’, ‘Footballing Legends’ or even ‘Superdad’; and providing up to two full names, the calendar will be tailored to your requests with the names cleverly integrated into a series of colour images.

The pictures vary for each occasion or calendar and the creative images will put a smile on anyone’s face when they see their name in wonderful places; such as being partly the subject of a topiary masterpiece, or even spelled out in the stars. Depending on how honest you want to be, it will appear as though you have literally moved the stars in their honour to create a working calendar where every image can be saved as a keepsake. Christmas gifts don’t come much more any more original, or personal than that.

They make a great gift for any occasion but as Christmas approaches and we reflect on how lucky we are, then it makes sense to celebrate the people we love the most…plus it might earn you an extra roast potato on Christmas Day. As calendars are traditional Christmas Gifts, you can even place these personalised items safely under the tree without anyone guessing what they are – they come in a sturdy gift box which can be wrapped with the other presents, and pat yourself on the back for thinking of something that is not only original, but is a Christmas gift that should keep your loved ones happy for a whole year.

But don’t just stop at personalised calendar gifts, there’s an almost endless list of ways in which you can remind that certain someone just how special and unique they are. From personalised Champagne bottles, personalised mugs, engraved gifts to even the slightly more unusual (but equally brilliant) items such as personalised door mats or even a personalised apron – these intimate Christmas gifts are a great way of ensuring that you’re giving something truly unique.

Christmas is meant to be a time of giving and even if no one truly believes that you made the stars move or have a secret talent for topiary, then you can at least prove that you’re a real romantic at heart and make someone’s Christmas wish come true. If registering your loved one’s name with the Intergalactic Star Database isn’t a big enough gesture, then how about a personalised Hollywood Walk of Fame Star? Taking the term ‘star of wonder’ to its absolute max, these Christmas gifts are a sure way of giving someone a very Merry Christmas indeed.

New Promotional Gifts Start the Countdown to Christmas

(PRWEB) October 5, 2007

Chocolate advent calendars are popular promotional items for companies looking to reward staff and clients around this time of year. The usual lead time is 10-15 working days from artwork acceptance and demand means that orders usually have to be confirmed by the first or second week of November at the latest with most printers running at full capacity by then. Large print runs require more advanced planning and complicated artwork can take several additional weeks to organise especially if a custom one-off sample is required.

The Redbows promotional advent calendars are available in three formats: standard (144 x 133 x 10mm), bespoke and desktop (212mm x 153mm x 10mm). Each can be customised with defined print areas and a variety of template patterns to choose from. The calendars contain sugar coated chocolate drops.

“Christmas is one of our favourite times of year and we see a huge demand for all chocolate and sweet gifts around then” commented Dawn Koffler, Managing Director. “I am particularly pleased with our promotional advent calendars because they are easy to personalise and are always well received.”

Other products within the Redbows promotional chocolates range include Belgian, Neopolitan, coins, bars, truffles and molded chocolate shapes. For more information visit the Redbows website to see the wide range of promotional gifts, incentives and giveaways. Promotional advent calendars form part of the Redbows range of food, drinks and confectionery promotional items.

Christmas Cookies Are for Giving: Recipes, Stories and Tips for Making Heartwarming Gifts (Hardcover)

Christmas Cookies Are for Giving: Recipes, Stories and Tips for Making Heartwarming Gifts

Review

…captures the joy of doing your own cookie making…a great guide for discovering the secrets of great baking. — Westchester World

Pure magic…it will make…your family happy and your Christmas gifts sing songs of good will. — Carolyn Howard-Johnson, award-winning author of This is the Place



Product Description

More than a cookbook, Christmas Cookies Are for Giving is a celebration of family, friends and the joy of giving. Stories, recipes, tips and more…

Smells of cinnamon…cookie cutters…rolling and baking…eating dough…warm times with friends and family…Christmas cookies are a universal symbol of sweetness and family tradition at Christmas. But the joy of Christmas cookies goes beyond eating. In Christmas Cookies Are for Giving, Kristin Johnson and Mimi Cummins reawaken the fun of giving Christmas cookies, as they remember doing when they lived next door to each other when young children.

From the original short story “The Giving Christmas Cookie,” which shows a family brought together by a special cookie recipe at Christmas, to nearly 50 scrumptious recipes with mouth watering photos, to the timely, easy directions for making homemade “Gifts in a Jar,” Christmas Cookies Are for Giving shows that old-fashioned Christmas gifts are an antidote to cynicism about Christmas. The secret to celebrating your family and friends may not be in the mall, but in your pantry where you?ll find the ingredients to make Butterball Santas, Cranberry Decadent Cookies, and Vanillekipferl?The Giving Christmas Cookie.

Give this book as a present, and you may be rewarded when someone you love bakes the goodies in this book for you.
