Last-minute Christmas shopping ideas
Have you recently discovered that your bank’s ATM has a laugh track? Did your credit card burst into flames at the Country House cash register? Are you obligated to purchase a gift for someone you don’t care for all that much? Under any of these unfortunate circumstances, it’s only natural that you would turn to Smells Like Yukon for a quick and easy solution to your shopping woes.
The obvious place to start would be with some official Smells Like Yukon “Swag.” Of course, if a good mugging isn’t your idea of a wholesome Christmas tradition, or you prefer your SPAM in a tin, you might find the pickings a little slim–even if the price is right. We’ve been meaning to beef up our selection of Smells Like Yukon merchandise ever since we launched the website almost a year ago, but we just haven’t found the time. Maybe next year.
Fortunately, you also have the option of giving the gift of membership in the Smells Like Yukon Members Club. Yes, it’s totally free, so you’d still run the risk of seeming like a cheapskate. And, yes, it also involves the provision of an e-mail address, which could be construed by your friends and loved ones as a gross invasion of their personal privacy. So, on second thought, it’s kind of a crappy gift to give someone for Christmas.
But speaking of crappy Christmas gifts, you’re bound to wind up with a few of those yourself–and what better consolation than your very own membership in the Smells Like Yukon Members Club? Don’t let the little mousetrap image fool you. Membership is a completely painless and un-trap-like way to enjoy (or not) over an hour of audio-rich Yukon entertainment that more than 32,000 Yukoners can’t be bothered to listen to a second time. And as an added bonus, we’ll send you an e-mail reminder the day before the next Smells Like Yukon radio segment is scheduled to air on CBC, thereby eliminating the need for you to actually take advantage of the Members Club’s only real benefit.
You might call this circular reasoning. We call it a Christmas bargain.
