Tis the Season to be Winking

Because it'll be a while before our next issue in February, the WINK staffers thought it was time for another blogging foray. And as it is the season of mass commercialized giving, we thought we'd put our minds together and come up with alternative gift ideas you can use. Best part of it all? They don't cost a thing. Well, at least not a lot.

Star Gazing at the Beach

You will need...
A tent
Some food
Some friends

Give Doughnuts to Homeless People

Where: Voodoo Doughnuts on 3rd ave.
What: Buckets of extra doughnuts for $3-$5
How to: Not even the Grinch can eat all the pastries he wants. Give your doughnuts to the homeless under the nearby Burnside bridge.

Make Your Own Foil Animals

You will need...
Aluminum foil (don't forget to recycle!)
A friend with a good sense of humor with no shallow expectations for a "real" gift

Write a Song for Your Friend
Photobucket
You will need...
An instrument such as: your voice, harmonica, tamborine
Campy song lyrics imitating the Beatles imitating Chuck Berry

Voodoo doughnuts are too good to give away.

And go eat at Montage, under... I forget which bridge. Morrison, I think. If they're like they used to be 10 years ago, they'll turn your leftovers into foil-animals for you to bring home.

Dude, that's in East Portland. We're too lazy and too scared to go that far.

But score on the double gifting.
