I mean, does your grandmother want a red scarf, or a green hat? Does your kid want a toy dump truck, or a Lego set? I&#8217;m getting a headache just thinking about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fortunately for you, I&#8217;ve pre-assembled a listicle of eleven excellent Christmas gifts for the San Franciscan(s) in your life. Read on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<br><strong>1. Lunchbox shaped like an Uber vehicle<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you want to get ahead in life, you have to break some rules &#8212; the more, the better. Teach your kids how staying several steps ahead of local regulations can net them billions in venture capital with this cute lunchbox.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&nbsp;<br><strong>2. Cisgender Barbie<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Cisgender Barbie loves makeup and expensive shoes, but that&#8217;s because of who she is on the inside, not because of society&#8217;s expectations for someone assigned her gender at birth. Does that make her &#8220;normal&#8221;? No; let&#8217;s be honest, Barbie is a freak for entirely different reasons. And don&#8217;t get me started on Ken.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>3. Officially-licensed Ed Lee mustache trimmer<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Mayor Ed Lee had this mustache trimmer designed just for his own &#8216;stache. Only with this officially-licensed trimmer will you be able to achieve Lee&#8217;s timeless, manly look. Order today and we&#8217;ll throw in an autographed copy of Lee&#8217;s best selling men&#8217;s grooming book, &#8220;Mustache 2.0.&#8221;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>4. &#8220;ZUCK&#8221;, aka Mark Zuckerberg cologne<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The man\u2026 the legend\u2026 the scent. New from Facebook&#8217;s Mark Zuckerberg: ZUCK cologne. It&#8217;s a scent like no other: a dash of figs, a pinch of sweat, a splash of Mountain Dew. Hack together a PHP script and accidentally fall into a pile of money? It could be you; you smell like ZUCK.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>5. Four dollar toast-shaped earrings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Commemorate San Francisco&#8217;s boldest move yet into overpriced foodie hedonism with a pair of earrings patterned after The Mill&#8217;s infamous toast. Don&#8217;t settle for a cronut necklace, I hear those are already at Ross.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>6. My first bicycle chop shop<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What? These bikes I&#8217;m taking apart right here on the sidewalk? They&#8217;re mine, man! Of course I don&#8217;t have a receipt, don&#8217;t be ridiculous. I just take apart my own bikes on the sidewalk all the time, there&#8217;s no law against it. Have a nice day, officer.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>7. Gingerbread luxury condo<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sure, it&#8217;s a fifth floor studio with no elevator, and your only view is a candy cane freeway overpass. But it has gumdrop countertops, and exposed M&amp;M walls! Is it worth two million chocolate coins? Don&#8217;t bother asking, another kid just showed up with two and a half million chocolate coins, and now you don&#8217;t get to eat it. That&#8217;s life, kid.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>8. <em>Incoherent Gibberish or Possibly References You&#8217;re Not Hip Enough to Get<\/em> by Dave Eggers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;I open the door and she&#8217;s standing in her nightgown facing me. She scowls. I&#8217;m reminded of my aunt. Those cold summer nights, gargling mouthwash. She turns on the radio but nothing happens. I get on the slide. We enter the drugstore. Seven.&#8221;<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>9. Gift basket from Dolores Park&#8217;s Weed Truffle Guy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dude, did you leave the PBR at home again? Ah, fuck dude. But don&#8217;t worry, I got us covered bro &#8212; the Truffle Guy made me this sweet gift basket, it&#8217;s got like mad edibles dude. Hey man is that the Cold Beer Cold Water guy over there? Let&#8217;s grab some beer too bro. Get all our bases covered.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>10. Talking Leland Yee plush toy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Talking Leland Yee plush toy will say anything you want! Want him to endorse an assault rifle ban? Just stick $20 in his mouth! Want him to help purchase a grenade launcher from a shady Russian mobster? That&#8217;ll be another $20! But make sure you&#8217;re out of earshot of the authorities, or Talking Leland Yee may wind up in time out.<br>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>11. Christmas tree made entirely of kale<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Real or artificial; how about neither? This Christmas tree is handmade from locally sourced, organic kale. While you can&#8217;t hang ornaments on it and it wilts after a couple of days, it contains far more micronutrients and antioxidants than a traditional tree.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Holiday shopping is stressful enough without troubling yourself with figuring out what to buy for people.
