It’s that time of the year! The following Holiday Gift Ideas have all been painstakingly submitted to the Losanjealous inbox by one group or another within the past 24 hours, and, naturally, as a result of being the benevolent sort we’re more than happy to pass them all along to you, at this time. May you find what you’re looking for, and may peace be upon you, either as a result of having found what you are looking for, or as a result of something entirely unrelated, either or, and may that peace then fill your inner being with a fine, lukewarm glow, or at the very least a dim, shaky flicker for the duration of the 2010 holiday season. On with the gift ideas. Let’s stuff those stockings!

1. Text Messages to and from Santa Claus. Mailing letters to Santa at the North Pole? Hand-writing thank you notes for Christmas sweaters? Ancient history. Of the 840 13-17-year-olds polled, 72% say they’d rather text a wish list to Santa than mail him a letter (and they can do so, thanks to textPlus: www.textingsanta.com).

HEADS UP
Dear & the Headlights @ Knitting Factory Tue Feb 24

I’ll take my first five responses now for a pair of tickets to the Knit this Tuesday. Please make sure you can attend the show, and include your first and last name. Winners will be announced Monday AM. Good luck! (Did You Know? The band is also playing Coachella this year.)

So right now you are probably wondering what to get your significant other for Valentine’s Day. Roses and candy might work for some, but if I was your sweetheart, I’d ask for one of the following:

1. A kegerator
2. The Murder City Devils Feather Bed Whiskey Blanket Box Set. Apparently this limited edition bad boy is only available on their February 2009 tour. You get all four LP’s reissued on white vinyl, plus stencils, photos, posters, and each set has a hand painted number. Completists and elitists, eat your heart out.

Lucky for us, The Murder City Devils will be in town next week, Feb. 17th and 18th at the Music Box. You really should already have your tickets, but if you slept on this, although their website is saying sold out I just ran a search on Ticketmaster and there may be a few remaining tickets left. (You can also try to win the box set at http://www.themurdercitydevils.com/contest/.)

So, yes: Maybe the concert comes too late for a Valentine’s Day gift, but you can always make your sweetie an homemade IOU with Spencer Moody’s face on it. Just don’t make one of those coupon books with “good for one foot rub” or “redeemable for a hug”. Those are creepy.
