Gifts that Save Money

A few weeks ago we got stood up and the only cure for our bruised self-esteem was to go shopping. (Remember our favorite little stocking stuffer– the spider encased in Lucite.) We stumbled on two of the perfect money saving gifts for bitches on a budget: Piggy Banks.
The first, a completely cheesy molded plastic Buddha flashing the peace sign. Sure to put a smile on even the most stressed out friend’s face. Ten bucks will make you look like a hipster gift giver.
The second, an elegant statue that could pass for the real thing. Placed on an out of reach shelf, only the really nosy  will figure out she’s made of plastic. Or, keep her on the table and drop spare change into the discreet slot in her back.
Since class doesn’t come cheap–Venus will set you back twenty bucks.
We found them both at Urban Outfitters.

We can’t believe we’re writing about lawns. In our own gender-biased way, we’ve consigned the notion of a perfect green to big men chasing little balls or anal men whacking weeds in a quest for control over something. But our ears perked up...

As a general rule we don’t name names when idiots behave badly, so dignifying the Fox News story about a J. Crew ad with a comment crosses our normal boundaries.
But we can’t control ourself and just have to say something.
