OMG Entertainment, formerly Zhivago, have a range of shops in the West of Ireland full of great gifts to get for your nearest and dearest this Christmas.
Electrical goods, audio supplies and unique if a bit wacky collectors items, there’s something to please even the fussiest of shoppers and if you’re doing some last-minute shopping in the Galway area over the next week or so, be sure to drop in for a look. Here are five of our favourite gift ideas.
Sennheiser head phones
Sennheiser are world renowned for the quality of their headphones and for the standard of sound you’re getting, they offer pretty decent value too. If, after only a day or two over Christmas you’re beginning to tire and get cranky at the sound of all the family together in the one place, these babies are perfect for escaping into your own little world; even it’s just for a few hours peace.
Sennheiser head phones are available from €11.99
Back scratcher
Countless shoulder and elbow joints have been put out of place across the world by irritated people trying helplessly to itch that unreachable spot halfway down the spine, but that needn’t be a concern with this little tool. There’s nothing quite as satisfying as a good back scratch and these will come in handy over the festive period when those adorable but prickly Christmas jumpers start to get a little uncomfortable.
One of these will set you back €3.99
€200 note toilet roll
The fat cats in this country might as well have been wiping their arse with €200 notes such was the extent of money wasting that went on during the boom times and now you can make your friend or family member feel like a big shot by cleaning their nether regions with this €200 note toilet roll, even if, unfortunately, the notes contained within are 100 per cent fake.
Who doesn’t want to wipe their arse with a load of €200 notes?
Besides, considering that the Euro could well be going down the toilet anyways, there mightn’t be a more appropriate or indeed poignant gift to give this festive season.
The €200 note toilet roll is a snip at €2.99
iPod Docking stations
If we’re honest, a lot of the Christmas is spent filling yourself with food and drink like a glutton and subsequently dozing on the couch, but at some stage you’ll want to get the party started. Rattle up a good playlist on your iPod or iPhone, stick it on the docking station and let it blast out loud and liven up the house.
OMG have a variety of docking stations available from €29.99
E cigarettes
Encouraging a smoker to try and quit during Christmas might prompt a reaction far removed from goodwill, but they’ll thank you for your concern when the desire to get healthier kicks in a couple of days into the New Year.
Using a liquid that acts as a nicotine substitute, smokers will be able to puff on an automated cigarette-like device and gradually wean themselves off the dreaded sticks.
