Don’t trust Santa to get you what you want, add something from breadpig to your wishlist (or surprise someone else!)
Rather ironically, I suppose, breadpig is a big fan of Buy Nothing Day. The rest of the year, we’d love for you to buy our products, though. But more to the point, if you can avoid traditional commercial gifts this year, the breadpig wholeheartedly supports you. Consider sending someone a kiva gift certificate (or making a donation to their favorite non-profit in their name), or creating something (even if you’ve got no talent, even something like baking is doable and oh so rewarding – especially if you, say, baked a pig-shaped bread loaf), or charting the perfect quest for a night of D&D, planning a hike, or making some music, or promising to turn off your computer & phone for an entire weekend (this is quickly getting too personal).
Anyway, now on to the hypocrisy: If you are interested in buying something commercial, maybe something a little unique, there’s quite a few great candidates at the breadpig store. And we hear LOLmagnetz have been another big hit on ThinkGeek this year. Lastly, there’s always xkcd: volume 0, which ought to be on every self-respecting geek’s wishlist.
While we support (and frankly, are awed by) your choice to Buy Nothing this holiday season, if you do want to buy something this year, consider breadpig – because it’ll be doing more than just commercialism. Happy holidays!
