Best office Christmas gift: The horse head mask

There's an old Arabian proverb that says "The wind of heaven is that which blows between a horse's ears." 

Man were they right.
 
Whether it's a gift for your boss, white elephant exchange, or a secret santa gift, you simply cannot go wrong with Accoutrement's Horse Head Mask available on Amazon.com (Buy Now).
 
Why a horse head mask, you ask? For the last 8 years, the Horse Head Mask has slowly been gaining steam until it reached internet stardom over the last 12 months. The Horse Head Mask even made an appearance in Google Street Views after people discovered a random Horse Boy walking the streets in the UK (read the BBC article here). As evidenced by the Google Insights chart here, the Horse Head Mask phenomenon reached epic levels late in 2011.

But beyond the popularity of the Horse Head Mask trend lies something deeper. Something more meaningful. It was Winston Churchill who once said, "There is something about the outside of a horse that is good for the inside of a man."  Churchill almost had it right. It's also good for the outside of a man, as proven by wearing a horse head mask. But you can't blame Churchill for screwing that one up. It would have been impossible for him to know modern technology would reach a point where professional grade horse heads are sold for under $20, thus beating the gag gift price barrier. A true feat of modern engineering.
 
Others also agree that this is a great gift item. Amazon customers like HiJKay are happy with their purchase. "I absolutely loved this! Last year I dressed as Sarah Jessica Parker for Halloween, and this really helped pull my costume together. I'm really glad I was able to find it! I won the best costume contest at my work."
