Black Friday Deals: The Perfect Novelty Gifts for Christmas Parties

I love this and it will make the perfect gift for family or friends this holiday season! I received this great Tote bag and it’s my new favorite!

The two biggest shopping days of the year are just around the corner. This year, Black Friday falls on Friday, November 24 and Cyber Monday is Monday, November 27. It’s the perfect time to score major discounts and deals ahead of the holiday season.

Two Words One Finger proudly features a selection of outrageously funny, impeccably curated gifts that pack a punch of laughter. Designed for the bold and unapologetic, their collection embodies the spirit of women who fearlessly embrace humor, offering a riotous experience for those who dare to laugh in the face of convention. Give the gift of humor and practicality this holiday season with Two Words One Finger’s gifts for every occasion.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday Sale Details:

Why Two Words One Finger Stands Out:

  • The Perfect Stocking StufferTwo Words One Finger offers countless options for stocking stuffers for the upcoming holiday season. Practical AND funny, these gifts are guaranteed to provide shock and awe.
  • Original Card IdeasFrom Christmas to Mother’s Day, to birthdays and weddings, Two Words One Finger has a card for every occasion you likely won’t see elsewhere.
  • Office Holiday PartyStumped on what to get your boring coworker? Surprise them with one of Two Words One Finger’s office gifts like the F-bomber pencil set.

Pereg Natural Foods are a Must-Try!

My favorite is the Bread Crumbs!

Cooking this holiday season? I know I am! Pereg Natural Foods has seasonings and bread crumbs that are a must-buy this holiday season! Great for when you are baking chicken and making so many other delicious recipes! Their products are available across the country. They are also available on www.pereg-gourmet.com

I used the Bread Crumbs to bake chicken and it was a hit with my family!

Looking for books for your little ones? These from Clever Publishing are a few of my favorites!

Love this one!

Looking for a fun activity book? This is a wonderful one! It has mazes, puzzles, coloring, and so many fun activities! It is perfect for preschool-age children and great for travel! It is affordable on Amazon.com.

Such a fun story!

Looking for a sweet story with the most adorable characters? Hedgehog’s Home For Fall is a must-buy! Children ages 4-8 will love this story!  Includes sweet, detailed illustrations that are full of humorous details; fun facts about fall; and a fun activity. You can also find it on Amazon.com.

Such a sweet story!

This next one is perfect for ages 4-8. The love between grandparents and their grandchildren is the sweet topic of this book, which celebrates the individuality and special bond that an adorable giraffe, elephant, and rhinoceros each have with their grandmother and grandfather. I think this is a perfect book for the holidays!

Lady Gata, Nov. 26 Pet of the Week

awwww! Sooo precious!

November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and do we have a girl for you! Her name is Lady Gata, she’s 14 years old, and she’s a sweetheart. Heck, she was born this way. She’s used to a home, and sadly has lost hers. She’d love to curl up in a quiet, adult-only dwelling. Since this is Thanksgiving weekend, how about giving this lovely girl a million reasons to be thankful? To adopt or foster Lady Gata, email PetAdopt@longbeach.gov to speed the process, or call (562) 570-7387. Ask for ID#A707857.

(This rescue encouraged by the usual suspects.)
