Late gift excuses for the holidays


Excuses, excuses (we've got 'em for you!)

For years many have worked on the perfect late gift excuse. We've decided to share a few of our favorites that ought to buy you a little time.

1 - My dog ate my credit card.
2 - Gift wrap related injury...I don't want to talk about it.
3 - The sleigh wouldn't start.
4 - Ran out of reindeer feed.
5 - Grandma had holiday cookie baking emergency.
6 - Had to wait around for fireman to get cat out of Christmas tree.

As you can see, we love a great excuse. We have asked our customers to send us their best excuses and we got some good ones! We'd love to hear from you too! Send your excuses to blog@barkerandmeowsky.com

All of us at barker & meowsky wish you the happiest of the howlidays!

Here they are, great excuses from our dear customers:

I ran out of tape to wrap gifts, all the stores were sold out. Tried to use superglue and glued my fingers together.

I went to too many ugly Christmas sweater parties and was too traumatized to shop.
