Best Christmas Gift Idea, Ever.
I’m so in the home stretch for Christmas, dude. We’re leaving on Saturday, my local gifts have been delivered, far-away gifts sent, and pre-holiday errands run. Tomorrow I’m cleaning out the fridge so it won’t smell when we get back, and then I AM DONE. Done, I tell you! I even visited my grandma and delivered her gifts in person. Ha! Ha HA! Next up: a report from Carmel, where we will undoubtedly commit some crimes.
I have to say, I’ve been really stumped for gifts this year. Everyone I know doesn’t need anything, I feel guilty about the environment but don’t know if people really want me to donate to charity on their behalf, which essentially means that someone else gets a gift instead of them, blah blah blah. I was still out trying to get stuff at 7:30 pm yesterday, and like everyone had the same "I’m so over Christmas" look on their face.
I felt that way, until the moment I found out about this. The most perfect gift ever. The gift….of steak. My in-laws got us this once, and I swear it lasted for months and months, every meal of which we were like "I love them, man. They are thoughtful gift-givers."
Anyway, if you’re still looking for something to get someone (not me, because you know I already bought myself one of these), Omaha Steaks is running this totally amazing sale, and I think you should order one for yourself, and one for your hard-to-buy-for relative. Yes, it’s organic and grass fed. Yes, it’s freaking delicious. And yes, they do send you a free set of steak knives, a cutting board, and some more free hamburgers with every order. It comes packed in dry ice, in case you’re doing a production of Macbeth this Christmas and need something for the witches’ cauldron. Yes, they also have things for vegetarians, Mr. Picky.

We received one of these in the mail last week from my boss. Haven’t eaten any of the steaks yet as we are still recovering from Christmas, but my 6 year-old daughter and I had the blissful experience of playing with the dry ice and some hot water for about an hour. Forget about the meat, forget the talking parrot and the life-size Butterscotch pony, the apex of holiday stress truly IS the perfect time for the gift of a block of dry ice to arrive at your doorstep. We had so much fun – it brought back fond memories of playing with a similar block of Omaha Steak dry ice in college with a certain someone whose initials are “Lori Culwell” – oh how easily we are amused!
They give you free steak knives? I got Omaha steaks from my grandma once and I didn’t get any knives. I could certainly use some though. Hmm. Maybe I should send my grandma a link to Funny Strange.
Dude. $59.99?? For all that? Plus knives that I totally need? I wish I’d paid more attention to this in 2007.
