Our favourite stocking stuffers for 2009 are, of course, Jacana books – including the hilarious Best of Hayibo.com. But the writers at Hayibo have other ideas; here are their top gifts for the season:
Barack Obama doll, now with super “Spineless” feature
Want change you can believe in? Seeing is believing with this awesome (in)action figurine of the US President. Pull out his easily detachable spine and watch him flip-flop this way and that, saying “Yes you can!” to both Banker Doll and Unemployed Doll. (Afghan troop surge sold separately. Batteries and victory not included.)
Monopoly
The old favourite updated for South African fans. Play as Telkom, Eskom or Armscor and try to lose all your money as fast as you can.
Medical Parole
A new version of the evergreen anatomical brain-teasing classic, Operation. Get spotted outside your Durban mansion and go to jail ? or not! One minute you’ll be mortally ill, the next you’ll be down at the Spar buying milk. It’s a Christmas miracle!
