Christmas Gift Ideas

Are you a recent lottery winner with money to burn? Perhaps you're a major political contributor with money to launder a personal agenda and a particular love of donkeys. Are you looking for that perfect bribe gift for those highly-placed friends on your Christmas list? Well, look no more! Presenting the perfect Christmas Wish List for the bathroom that doesn't have everything and those whom fate has chosen as the living example of a fool and his money coming together:

For the "carbon-neutral" newlyweds:

(Consider this a "must-have" for that carbon-neutral, Goracle-worshipping cousin on your list.)

Environmentalism has never been so intimate as with the TwoDaLoo, billed as the world's first simultaneous-flush two-seater toilet. The side-by-siders can be emptied individually or in a single 2.6-gallon-saving flush. With a "privacy wall" and LCD television and iPod docking station add-ons, couples (and, perhaps, just good friends) will enjoy doing double duty for Planet Earth. About $1400; WiseRep

For the Harley fan:

(This year give the gift that says, "When I see handlebars in unusual places, I think of you.)

Rev up the bath with this motorcycle-inspired faucet, which has handlebar-style hot and cold water valves, and a spigot that resembles a fuel tank. The brass and chrome surfaces are treated with a "physical vapor disposition" process that strengthens the finish—good thing, in case some of your bike's grease leaves stains before you can wash your hands. About $400; Cycle Faucets

For Those on a Budget:

(Some things speak for themselves. This one says, "I haven't fired a neuron in years.")

It probably never occurred to you to decorate your toilet, but that's just because you didn't hear about Toilet Tattoos until now. These removable vinyl appliqués dress up the toilet seat with standard patterns such as leopard print, seasonal Santas and snowmen, or handy interactive charts for the toilet trainees of the house. About $10 each; Toilet Tattoos

For Those With More Money Than Brains:

('nuff said.......seriously. )Hewn from the rare Afghan Lapis Lazuli stone, this gem of a vessel sink retails for $75,000. There are two in existence—the company has sold one, but the one you see here is up for grabs. Just call Decolav and have your credit card ready. From Decolav

However, if you are still finding elusive that perfect perk *something* for that special candidate *someone*, then perhaps it's time to think "outside the box" and look beyond the material. Remember it takes a "village to raise a child", so this holiday season, when so many have done without for so long, perhaps it's a need to commune with your fellow man that is at the heart of your dilema.
