Insomniac Christmas Presents?

I usually eat lunch at work around 3 a.m. The TV in the break room is usually tuned to the local CBS affiliate, and the overnight news. Lately, the middle-of-the-night commercials have featured "The Clapper" and "Chia" products, including the Chia Scooby-Doo Head and the Chia grass planter for your cat to nibble on. It's as if they're trying to give people hints about possible Christmas presents for people that they don't really like well enough to give a real Christmas present.

All I know is that anyone who gets me a Chia Scooby-Doo Head for Christmas is likely to get fruitcake next year.
