Avoid small talk, or worse, awkward silence, with this engaging gift
Houston-opoly, a Space City-themed take on the well-known board game Monopoly, is the perfect game to get people engaged. Nearly everyone knows how to play it and it’s designed to require just enough strategy to keep you entertained. And who wouldn’t want the chance to buy up Houston’s legendary places like the NRG Stadium, the Toyota Center, Space Center Houston, Minute Made Park, Downtown Houston and Hermann Park? The board game will set you back $24.95. It’s available for purchase on Walmart’s website.
Better than a box of chocolates
If your go-to gift is a box of chocolates, why not amp it up this year with this chocolate crowd pleaser: A 3.5 pound chocolate turkey from Houston’s Chocolate Bar. Select from dark or milk chocolate. Oh, and you also get an assortment of chocolate-covered Oreos, chocolate-covered Rice Krispy treats, and brownie bites.
A pie-in-the-sky, money-is-no-object option guaranteed to score you some bonus points
Want to give a gift with some extra oomph? Consider ponying up the big bucks for a pumpecapple pie cake, the turducken of desserts. Priced at $250, weighing in at 23.5 pounds and standing nearly a foot tall, the pumpecapple pie cake is made up of three layers of cake with pie baked into them; a pumpkin pie baked in a pumpkin spice cake; pecan pie or chocolate pecan pie baked in chocolate cake; and last, but not least, an apple pie baked into a spice cake. The creation defies categorization. Is it pie? Is it cake? Whatever it is, this crowd-pleaser is bound to shock, delight and satisfy.
