Manic’s “Merrymaking Kit” is a great example of a creative, whimsical holiday gift. A little bit of relabeling, a fun theme and good copy, and you’ve got yourself a winner. I’m trying to figure out how to make my own variation on this for personal gifts this year.

“This kit holds all of Manic’s secret ingredients for a remarkable Christmas. Consumed correctly, this bundle will produce the most magical effects eternal youth; a keen nose to guide you to the nearest bar; an outstanding sense of humor; and an insatiable desire to be merry.

Too good to be true? Take a look at our team, be dazzled by their spectacular charm and unending supply of good fortune.

Effects are instant and last between six to twelve hours. Consume and take the night by storm, or kick-back and watch your stars align.

Bravado Beer
Bravado Beer has been known to induce boldness, swaggering and an immediate thirst for reckless situations. Binding contracts and the making of life-altering decisions should be avoided at all costs.

This is Water
Eight glasses a day for best health. Hide this bottle in plain sight & use it as a reminder to worship the right things. From a speech by David Foster Wallace.

Disco Dust
Provides instant relief for Saturday Night Fevers. Our eco-friendly Disco Dust is recycled from Mardi Gras and the deaths of disco dancers the world over.
Keep children out of reach.

Naturally Naughty Reindeer Digestives
These Naturally Naughty Reindeer Digestives are made with the naughtiest of Santa?s reindeers, carefully shrunk-baked for easy digestion. Each reindeer is certified delinquent and was caught in the midst of serious monkey business when they should’ve been out pulling the sleigh. It?s a recipe that will assure you top spot on the Naughty list.

Porter Potties
Let’s face it, housebreaking your bottle can be frustrating and tiresome. What most bottle owners don?t understand is that bottles are not able to physically ?hold it in?. Never yell at your bottle when it has an accident. Instead, try our Porter Potties, they’re super absorbent, easy to use, and they work instantly!

Good ol’ fashioned Mirth

Found yourself at yet another boring party? Are your companions as imaginative as a can of white paint? Try our good ol’ fashioned Mirth. Effects include a tangible air of excitement, the unmistakable scent of shenanigans and an instantaneous dose of creativity.

Other common side effects include mischief, silliness and horseplay. Now with added tomfoolery!”

“Having recently moved into a new studio space, we wanted to tie in our 2011 Christmas gift with our office warming party. Based on the theme of RoAndCordials, we collaborated with Morris Kitchen who provided us with beautifully bottled and equally delicious Ginger Syrup. We printed the bottle labels in the style of traditional medicine/cordial bottles, including Ginger Syrup cocktail recipes and Happy Holiday messages in the text.”

USPS to launch four new colorful stamps later this year with a nice contemporary wavy design. I particularly like the fact that the size of the stamp will increase as the value does. A simple, easy way to always know what value stamp you’re using, and much nicer looking than a clutter of multiple lower denomination stamps.
