Stuff on purpose November 25, 2007
Posted by onemouthband in : Randomnimity, Recommendations , trackbackEvery year people get me stuff I don’t want because they feel they have to get me something for the holidays. Has this ever happened to you? Have I ever done that to you? Oops, sorry!
This year I vow to stop the cycle of senseless stuff by getting people items of service and intention. Usually I have a new CD or other One Mouth Band marketing item to mass distribute, but due to miscalculations with the upcoming SoVoSo and Irrationals albums, I have no music to give for 2007 (look for them both in 2008!). Instead, most everybody is getting one of these babies! I don’t mind ruining the surprise because they’re not the kind of thing people tend to get all flustered about anyway. But they are useful, cool, intentional, ecological, and just plain logical. That’s my bag, baby.
And there will be gift certificates, plenty of gift certificates. Not the kind that encourages you buy more crap, though, the kind you can eat. Like those from Restaurant.com that you can often buy at somewhat of a discount and create the impression that you’re slightly more generous than you actually are (that’s not such a bad thing, is it?)
As for stuff for me, I am running out of time on my New Year’s Resolution to end the year with twice as much money and half as much stuff. Check out my Froogle list for things I actually want. Or do something crazy like invite me to dinner instead!
Happy Holidaze to all, and to all stuff on purpose!
