The Ultimate Hangover Gift Basket
If you tend to enjoy hitting up cheaper bars, you’re used to drinking your fill for under $20 a night. Alas, at times, it’s difficult to turn down a $3 beer when you’ve already had 4, and you’re still in the black. Occasionally, from time to time, not very often at all, you or one of your fellow bargain hunters overindulges. At the holidays, why not honor one of your best friends with the ultimate hangover gift basket? Hit up your local drugstore, buy an empty basket and fill it with the items below to give your favorite drinking partner, something to enjoy the morning after when nothing seems that enjoyable.
Fancy bottled water: If you’re reading this article, you understand that hydration is key.
B12/B6 Supplements: Often marketed under the term “fish oil,” these supplements when taken before and after drinking have been proven to aid in the hangover recovery process
Advil: Do you even have to ask?
Wonder Bread & Nutella: Together it’s easy on the stomach, pleasing to the taste buds, and it packs enough sugar to perk up those tired brain cells the next day.
Cheap sunglasses: There’s nothing worse than getting blinded by afternoon sunlight when you have a splitting headache, so pop over to H&M and pop a pair in.
Trashy Magazines: Celebrity gossip rags, bridal magazines full of dresses to mock, high fashion spreads, car magazines, men’s health…you know your friends, but no matter what you choose, make sure it’s light on the intellectual stuff.
Cushy Blanket: They’re usually under 10 bucks at your local discount store and great to wrap around a human frame when you’re hugging the toilet.
Hair of the Dog: No matter how many times any hangover victim says that they won’t drink again, everyone knows that it’ll happen again, so add in a bottle of their favorite libation and you’re all set.
Happy Holidays!
