At Seymour Butz, one of our favourite gag gift ideas is to package ordinary, everyday gifts —dish towels, smelly candles, a Moleskine journal—in funny / horrifying boxes.
As your unsuspecting mama-to-be rips off the teddy bear wrapping paper, expecting another pack of gender-neutral onesies, imagine her surprise when she reveals a box purporting to contain a shower-mounted margarita machine.
See… it’s funny, because it’s unexpected.
Why on earth would you go to the trouble of installing a margarita machine in your shower? It would be… so sticky.
This is obviously a joke, right?
Err...
In true gag gift fashion, it appears we’ve pissed a lot of people off.
One reviewer is literally threatening violence over his unrealized shower margarita dreams.
(Which really makes the whole thing so much funnier, doesn’t it?)
Honestly, if we WERE going to invent and sell a shower margarita machine? It would probably cost more than $9.
In any event, we’ve clearly hit a nerve here.
Who knows? Maybe one of these lushes will get inspired and start a line of craft shower cocktails.
But probably not, because they’re drunk.

Let’s get right into it. There are a lot of… unforeseen side effects of a global health crisis.
Like, when you’re the CFO of a medium-sized startup company, but then you have to work from home, and also teach 2nd grade. Or when the catering manager of a large grocery store chain suddenly becomes a first responder, because grocery stores are CRAZY TOWN right now.
There’s a lot going on right now, and much of it is pretty grim. As usual, Seymour Butz is here to provide a bit of levity in an otherwise serious time.
Hooray! Your friend(s) recently purchased a new home! And boooo — that means you have to pick out ANOTHER housewarming present. Do your top three ideas involve plants, candles, artisan bread, and/or a bottle of wine?
