Christmas gifts that never happened

Everyone probably knows by now (at least my brothers do) that for the past 5 or so Christmases I try to give one quirky gift to the majority of my male family members and friends. This year the quirky gift that made the cut was given to Matt, Wesley, Dad, Greg, Creet, and myself. I think it went over well - the Swiss Tech Utili-Key. (Greg’s gift yet to be delivered.)
It was funny watching everyone open this thing. Nobody knew what to think, but once they understood it I think they liked it. I certainly do! I recently heard a man say on TV, “I never saw a tool I didn’t like.” I would have to agree to a point.
I thought this gift was cool because everyone probably has a Swiss Army knife somewhere around their house. But, do you ever carry it with you? Everyday? I tried to carry one with me everday once, and it lasted all of about 5 days. This Utili-Key servers every function of the basic Swiss Army knife, but brings portability.
Anyway, without further adieu, here is the list of the gifts that almost but didn’t make the cut.
the Jimi Wallet
Cube Figures
Beer Key
CD Jukebox (sorry Mom)
Drill Seargant Alarm Clock (watch out Wes and Kari)
Egg and Muffin Toaster
Khaki Briefcase
Cell Phone Handset
Scrolling Belt Buckle (could show up for Yerg’s big 3-0)
Airzooka Air Gun
Megazooka Air Gun
Uber Orbs (Matt and I actually received these)
Fog Blaster
Maybe next year…
