Stupid + Kickass = Fun

Before the hangover dawns over me & I sulk...I'd better scribble things with the exact amount of bottle full of excitement ,  hyper-ness , happiness and having fun -  right as I drank it moments ago.

It was my friend Kunal's bday yesterday [ 11th Jan ] and am only going to talk about the bday gift.
Never in my life have I spend so much time and effort in arranging a b'day gift.

It all began in morning.20th Birthday.So Rads , RT and myself decided to gift him 20 different things.
Since we were tight on budget ..we decided to gift him 20 stupid things.
Smart , aren't we ? :P


- Rads made a bag out of handmade paper and just because we cldn't find all 20 things in time that we had  listed  - we tagged the bag as a part of gift.
See I said we are smart.

- Kunal has a habit of calling anyone randomly Zandu Balm.lol
I guess he uses that as a substitute for tube light or dumbo.
So there we had it.Zamdu balm for him :D An actual one.
With every gift we added a caption/tag line.
For this we wrote the advertisement song of the product. :D

-  he says tube light a bit too often , so we added a bunch of fibre bulbs to the bag
Tag Line : Do you know you are combination of tiny tubelights ? :P

- Rads told me he showed off his electronic brush to her once which he got from London.
So she suggested that we give him an Indian brush :D
Colgate toothbrush.
Tag line : Indian brush for Indian stay.
He gave a colgate smile after seeing that =)

- He recently said he doesn't comb his hair.Dunno why : |
Comb
Tag line : Atleast comb your hair now! ( If you have any :P )

- He could drink tea all day.
A small pack of Tea
Tag Line : OMG! You have an addiction!
[ His reaction to this was simply great.Proudly approved ]

- Loves Ferro Rochers.
A small pack again.
Tag Line : Unche log , unchi pasand
[ He always comments dramatically..."Ahh...you big people" .
So there we made it even with the tag :P ]

- The 4 of us happened to talk about bournvita/horlicks/boost etc few days back and as it came out he seemed to like bournvita just too much
A pack of Bournvita
Tag Line : Bournvita Boy!!

Kellogg's Chocos.
[ We got him something else instead of the chocos that he usually eats ]
Tag Line : Koi nahi...kha le kha le.

- A black belt
Tag Line : Its high time you stop using the red one.
lol the funny part is he was wearing the red belt during the bday celebration.

- He grew a beard few weeks back though he usually doesn't do that.But anyway..we got another point :D 
Shaving cream
Tag Line : Please shave and help us recognize you!

- A scrapbook with its cover reading :  
 Kool Knucklehead
 Uniquely stupid
 Naturally dumb
 Adorably devil
 Legendary Fool

- Pickle
Tag Line : Aao banaye..Khakre aur Theple behter :P

-Red Rose
Tag Line : Don't forward it to any of your girlfriends!

- A Pillow.
This was Radz and RT's idea.
Rads told me that RT got a pillow instead of soft toy and that the pillow was of cow's shape :O
Then when he unwrapped the gift..it looked like a tortoise.But RT still claimed that it was a cow since  there were horns on the head.Lol
Tag Line : We decided to do something great on your birthday.So we are having you put to sleep :P

- A coffee mug with his sun sign embossed.
Tag Line : Ahh finally a gift.We aren't that bad afterall!

- Since its the season of Kite flying..we gave him 3 Kites and wrote our entire list of gifts over it , warned him never ever to tear that off and also asked to keep it as a souvenir :P

 - 3 things were still on balance.So we wrote over the kites :
Oye! What are you still looking for ? Why do you have such three wonderful friends for ?  :D
Quick stick idea.

On such short notice..I mean all of this was decided , bought and arranged yest itself - we did a good job.Sure we could have added a lot more stuff that could have been of more use but overall , giving to his likes /dislikes and all that we know about him - the gifts were perfect! :D

Thing we couldn't find on time were -  those chocolates in the form of cigarettes to tease him [ since he abhors the idea of smoking ] A can of red bull.
He's too much into planes and we aren't experts to design planes and create models like him ..therefore we had thought of giving him a toy aeroplane.

The most amazing part was to shop for all of these things and add tags to them.I mean the heights of stupidity was discovered when we were debating over the taglines!
I was explaining something to RT about how the messages are to be added/not to be added in the scrapbook.When I stopped explaining , she said "Ok nice..so we'll do it" At the same time I said "Yeah..so that's not the way we have to do it"
lol
I could write a book on her.She is that much of a character =) A really funny one.

Stupid gifts idea is FUN- Kisi ki kheechni ho toh:D
Kunal is lucky to have friends like us.
*smugs*

    This Proves either you spend a lot of money and save your time or you spend a lot of time and save your money.

    Both are acceptable and people who spend both of them are actually losers :P

  16. Hello Sugar Cube,

    I searched for blogs from India and somehow noticed your blog.

    This kind of birthday gift is creative and personal.
    Anyone can buy just a expensive thing, which I personally do not like. Good Gifts need inventive work and smart friends.

    Have a good day,
    Konstantin
