Wow, suggesting giving George Santos--noted fraudster, white supremacist, homophobe, trumpist and 2020 election denier--money for a cameo is a LOW. Do you support this guy? Cause otherwise....why pay him?
Totally agree. Our government as we know it is already hanging on by a thread and people's attitude about paying this disgraced former government official because it's "funny" is a general contributing factor. Supporting him even in jest is still supporting those opinions and validating his actions with real money to keep going. Very disappointing and irresponsible to see this as a suggestion and encouraging support of these opinions as a fun gift idea.
I am dismayed to see a suggestion to give live creatures (ladybugs) as a gift. Sentient creatures are not playthings to live and die at the whim of a well-intentioned person looking for a unique and quirky gift. Ladybugs cannot survive cold winters without protection--and what choice would the recipient of 1,500 lady bugs have but to release them outside?
Absolutely have to hand it to Tanqueray for that one!! I think the experience being irreplicable is what it makes it such a great gift anyway. Very one-of-one. I saw Stanley dining once at Lure in Soho (with Oprah!!!!), and it felt very holiday, like a gift itself. Something about that man is so quintessential this time of year. Your evening sounds gorgeous and lovely and I hope he's there, too.

Agreed. There is nothing "amusing" or interesting about him.

Porn cameo took me OUT
LOL best gift, ever! Unfortunately, the signed bottle was the result of going to a Tanqueray press event, which I don't think I'll ever have the opportunity to do again. But I *am* actually going with my mom to Café Luxembourg tonight (one of Stanley's favorite spots), before seeing the Nutcracker, so this also feels like a Stanley-coded holiday experience.

It's SO great when right-wing politics become a fashion trend!
Gross, don't give money to George Santos...like...why?
Great gift guide but the live ladybugs made me shudder - where I live, ladybugs invade our house all winter long!
