For the Fishermen Among Us...

It's "Santa's Gone Fishin'" with "Reel 'em in action"!

Apparently, there are some toy fish inside, in addition to the choking hazard-sized candies. Great for a holiday trip to the E.R.!

Geographically Incorrect


It's the John Deere holiday gift set! For the low Big Lots price of $6.00, you get a John Deere mug, some Nestle hot chocolate and a John Deere 2009 Desk Calendar! WOW!!!

Now, I could understand seeing this in a Big Lots someplace a bit more "agricultural", but in New York??? I doubt half the people who shop in this particular Big Lots even know who/what John Deere is! They probably think he's the "Bob the Builder" of the older kid set.

If Charlie Brown Shopped at Big Lots

He'd probably buy this tree. Someone's taking the whole "Blue Christmas" thing a bit too seriously, don't ya think?

Don't worry, the $40 price tag is for the hideous full-size "pre-lit tree in urn with clear lights" next to it.

Don't Buy Yellow Snow

An animated dog, peeing on an animated, musical snowman. Just what you wanted, right?

You can see a more detailed picture of this on the Big Lots website here. One has to seriously wonder about the type of minds that came up with this idea.

But Wait...


It's another Elvis sighting!

This time it's a musical Elvis in a Santa suit! He plays "Here Comes Santa Claus" and "Santa Claus Is Back In Town", and it features real Elvis recordings!

Not only that, he also
stands on his little stage, then begins to shake his famous hips! WOW!!!
