Oh good Lord this is so brilliant! And a service to humanity. Thank you for curating such a thoughtful list! I have to know where did you find that perfect murder-y ornament image??? That would also make a great gift!
Thank you, my friend! I do think there’s something for everyone here, don’t you? I don’t remember where I got the ornament pic. Maybe I can reverse-image search it!
Why didn't you ask your Dad what he wanted? I'm not a good recipient of unwanted presents either so I empathise with your Dad. Your serial killer gift ideas are truly gruesome, great for the ghoul in your life. I used to make jokes with a boyfriend who was always polishing off the cornflakes that he was a cereal killer.
My GOD... these are HELLA dark! I applaud your research but in lieu of gifts... lol. And yikes, Richard Ramirez's idea of a joke??? Hoo boy... Those alone should have been a sign that this guy was NOT OK. And Kevorkian, dear me!
Yeah, Ramirez wasn’t exactly ready for a tight 10 at the Comedy Store, was he? Good Lord. And you’d think that, given his occupation and reputation, Kevorkian might have considered some less gruesome subject matter instead of leaning into the whole “Dr. Death” persona. But I guess he gets points for authenticity!
You know, I didn't think you could top the stomach churning nature of the nose braids, but this post demonstrates you have gifts. And for the record, I think your father and my husband are kindred spirits. To be fair to my husband though, he does tell people not to get him gifts, because they'll only be disappointed with his reaction to them. I took his advice and stopped getting gifts for *all* the Scrooges in my life. These suggestions, on the other hand, might tempt me to break that oath.
It’s not very fun giving a gift to someone who won’t like it or want it, right? Good for you for cutting those people out of your list. I’m still trying over here. I’ve actually been on a lucky streak the last few times, so I’m due for a dud very soon.
Turn it into a game. Find most outlandish gifts in the hope of being repulsive. They may love it, haha. I can think of a few suggestions someone shared with me recently...
Yeah, the stuff of nightmares. I wouldn't want to live in his head. But technically, he's was a pretty good artist. Being a fly on the wall in his analyst's office would be fascinating. Gotta tell you, on a certain level, I loved what he stood for. Death with dignity.
Somewhere at the North Pole, a quiet unassuming elf is having dark, uninvited thoughts.
“What are you doing with that fireplace poker, Jinxy? Jinxy?!?JINXY!!!”
Murder humor I can get behind. I don’t do true crime though…something inside me feels dirty giving such monsters my attention.
I get that

I’m not gonna lie, Ramirez does make a point about the meds vs the cigs.
But, no thanks on the murder souvenirs. Day 8 of the family visit seems to be horrific enough.
Day 8?!? Of how many?
Your guess is as good as mine.
Damn, those Kerkorian drawings are bizarre 😳
I'm actually pretty surprised at how low all of these items are priced. I would have expected more $$ for these cult classics!
Me too!
And obviously I meant Kevorkian drawings. Stupid autocorrect 🙄
I didn’t even notice that! But yes, autocorrect can be a dick.

I did. He said he didn’t want anything. Which wasn’t helpful.

Those would definitely get a reaction…
Do me a favor, Chris? Don't get me anything this year. Your friendship is enough.
But wow, the Kevorkian art, that's tempting.
Dr. K’s art really is something to behead, I mean behold, isn’t it?

I was surprised by how good his paintings were (subject matter aside).
Exactly! Some talent there.
I knew there was a dark side of you. Murder humor is a great category. The only “horror” movies I can watch are the comedies. Think Zombieland.
What about true-crime docs? Any interest there?
No. I can’t even watch Monsters about the Menendez bros. You?
Oh yeah. I love dark documentaries. I’m fascinated by human behavior in general, and especially what drives people to do horrible things.
