For People Who Don’t Need More Crap

There comes a time in everyone’s life when they realize they don’t need more junk they don’t like and didn’t choose cluttering up their house. They can afford to buy their own crap, thank you very much. (This stage lasts one year. Then you move into a bigger place and get more crap, and the cycle continues.)

These people do not want your candles, your bath salts, your figurines. They want consumables – things they do not have to clean, store, or look at. For these people, I suggest something from The Women’s Bean Project. This is a highly funky charity that gives jobs and work experience to chicks in need. Very cool.

The product I’m featuring here is the Lovingly Handmade Two Soups and Two Spice Rubs Bundle. Seriously, that’s it’s name. I could have featured the Lovingly Handmade Chili Lover’s Gourmet Food Bundle or the Lovingly Handmade Three Bean Dip Bundle, but I have a juvenile sense of humor and I think the word “rub” is funny.

Here’s the cool thing about these presents – they seem to be at least reasonably non-perishable and they’re at a totally acceptable price point. This means you can buy five of them and have them on hand for those times when your guest – for whom you bought nothing – hands you a gift and you say, “Oh. Shit. We were doing presents?” Not that I’ve done that or anything. Also handy for teachers who will likely fail your kid if they’re presented with yet another “World’s Best Teacher” mug.

(Also, they have a Cindy’s Sinfully Chocolate Brownie Mix if you’re cheap or you’re looking for stocking stuffers.)

If you can’t buy this because the friendly neighborhood raccoon eats your mail, consider one of the previous prezzies. Click here for Perfection in a Bag, or here for a present for bookish types. Completely raccoon safe. Unless you have freaks for raccoons, in which case you should probably just get off your ass and go to the mall.

This post is part of IttyBiz’s charity drive for the charity that shall remain nameless. The proceeds IttyBiz receives from you buying this item (or any other item Amazon sells, if you use the link provided) go to a Very Good Cause. Even if you hate bean dip, click on it anyway and buy something else with no beans involved.
