The Perfect Christmas Gift: The Hot Priest Calendar

If you’ve travelled to Italy, there are all sorts of souvenirs that you can bring back for your family and friends.

You can bring back some wine, some t-shirts, maybe even some olive oil or limoncello.

But Web Watch knows that these traditional gifts are not what you are looking for.  You want to be unique, and bring back something more exotic that will have your friends shouting from the rooftops, “BEST.  GIFT.  EVER.”

And what is this magic item?

How much gum is consumed in a day (and other gum statistics for you to chew on)

While watching today’s mallrats, one can’t help but notice how many kids today are constantly chewing gum.  Seriously, pay attention the next time you’re walking through the mall or hanging out at the local Starbucks. If you can get past the high shrill voices of “OMG!” and “Like, you know” pouring out of their mouths, pay attention to the constant cud chewing going on and you’ll soon see what we mean.

10 Completely Useless Wine Accessory Gift Ideas

As we get deeper into the Holiday Gift Giving season, perhaps its time to take a moment to reflect on whether that wine accessory really is something that the recipient would appreciate.

The way Web Watch sees it, if you’re going to give a wine enthusiast a gift, you might as well give them a bottle of wine that either YOU like (so you can then say, “hey, let’s open that bottle I just gave you”) or a bottle of wine that you know THEY’LL like in the hopes that they will open that bottle and share with you anyway.

Funny thing about giving a gift of wine – you’ll probably end up having some of it anyway.

Cards Against Humanity: Best. Party. Game. Ever.

Trying to find The Ultimate Game To Play when it’s holiday time with the family can be tough.

Not everybody likes playing Monopoly, and most other board games are limited to either four or six players maximum anyway.  So if you have a large gathering, it can be tough to find a group or party game that everybody can participate in.

What are you typically left with?  Trivia games, Pictionary, Cranium.  You know – team-based stuff.

But what if you’re tired of competing as a team when you have 10 or more people hanging out at your house for hours on end?

How do your shopping habits compare to others?

Have you ever wondered how you are doing compared to others in your immediate circle?

Don’t pretend that conversation doesn’t happen between you and your significant other: “do you think they have more credit card debt than we do?” after leaving a dinner party.  “How do you think they can afford all that and we can’t?”

Well, we can answer these types of questions now, at least in Australia, where one bank has decided to post a billion credit card transaction records online for you to compare and contrast your own habits against others.

How to permanently block all online ads

Look, we get it.

The Internet is free, right?  You have to pay to be online, but once you’re there – the millions of pages of information out there should be yours for the viewing, without being blocked by persistently annoying advertising invading your viewspace.

Web Watch is in a quandray over this – we’re supported by advertising on the site, so why would we want to share with you one simple, easy way to completely block all ads from ever appearing on your computer or WiFi-enabled devices ever again?  If this idea takes off, we’ll have to switch to a subscription-based model – but we’d rather not go that route if we can help it.

This is why we are broke

Ever look at your bank account statement (or ATM balance) and wonder where all your money went?

Look around your house, and all you see is generic stuff that you really could live without?

Contemplate why you bother with that $5 daily coffee break when the free coffee in the office really isn’t that bad?
