With Turkey Day a mere day away, no longer can we deny that the holiday season is upon us. The way to making it through all the holiday madness? By preparing yourself. Start with the Holiday Survival Kit, your cheeky best friend this year. The kit includes Mistletoe Prep Breath Mints (to prep you for all manner of holiday kiss), Wellness Wipes (so you can wash up after all the hugging, shaking and sloppy kisses from the wee ones – darn needy kids!), Carol Plugs (fa-la-la-la-shut up!) and Mirth Boost (a shot glass to help dull the pain of it all). A handy "To:/From:" label below the handle also makes it a fab hostess or coworker gift. Pick one up for just $12 at super gift site wishingfish.com.

We love beauty products as much as the next girl, but we lurve ones with incredible wit and sass. Fed up with the lack of corporate gifts for women (after all, who needs or wants another muffin basket?)
