First read Dave Barry’s Holiday Gift Guide: Just what your loved ones never wanted. Then, set a timer for 10 minutes, grab a pen and paper, and brainstorm a list of silly, ridiculous, outlandish items that people might buy for each other as gifts. Jot them down quickly without worrying about whether the ideas have any merit or not; just free-write. When you’re done, pick out a handful you think you can get the most interesting material out of and write up a Dave Barry-style tongue-in-cheek guide to holiday gifts!
