Struggling to find the perfect Christmas present for your sister this year? Running out of ideas? For everyone’s sake, step away from the scented candles! Do you have any idea what horrible consequences could come from this gift? Well, let us enlighten you…

When you buy another vanilla bean scented candle for your sister, she gets bored.

When she gets bored, she starts prank calling you at work.

When she starts prank calling you at work, you get fired from your job.

When you get fired from your job, you have a lot of free time on your hands.

When you have a lot of free time on your hands, you pick up dumb hobbies.

When you pick up dumb hobbies, you end up in the Rock Paper Scissors World Championship.

When you end up in the Rock Paper Scissors World Championship, you have to compete against this guy.

Don’t have to compete against this guy.

Why not choose the safer route and donate to CoEd? There are all sorts of alternative holiday gifts to pick from that won’t land you in the middle of the Rock Paper Scissors battle of your life. We will even tell your sister about the gift so she knows what a thoughtful sibling you are. Check out the various gift options – for only $50 you can put textbooks in the hands of a child in need. And everyone knows that books beat candles every time.

ALSO, the Celebrity Bookends have become #GivingTuesday partners. So break out your phone and call up all of your celeb friends to help make a weird old set of bookends famous enough to auction off for a million bucks. Ryan Reynolds and Jeff Bridges got in on the action, and if they did, then you know it’s cool.

I wasn’t joking. Photographic evidence. Boom.

How will you be participating in National #GivingTuesday?
