Home Alone Inspired Gift Ideas
When I found out I was going to be a boy mom, one of the things that excited me the most was the idea of dressing my son up like Kevin McCallister from Home Alone. There was something about cable knit sweaters, cargo pants and pom pom hats that warmed my heart. Fast forward all these years, and I really do have my own mini Kevin on my hands in more ways than one. The quintessential Kevin look is comprised of clothes that are beyond your years, and are practical yet elevated. This classic look never goes out of style, and truly has that holiday vibe.
If you are wanting that Kevin McCallister look, than here are some essentials for you to add to your wardrobe. The white cable knit sweater along with the green corduroy pants are perfect for jumping on your parents bed if you find yourself home alone over the holidays. Whereas, the red zipper sweater is the preferred top for setting up booby traps to keep the burglars away. Micro Machines make a great slippery surface should anyone attempt to break in, and a pet tarantula on the loose may just do the trick as well. The flannel pajamas and bathrobe are perfect for longing around on a cold winters night or for spying on your creepy neighbor. Be sure to clear away that afternoon shadow with this scruba dub dub shaving in the tub toy. Oh and the cologne… don’t forget the cologne because even if it stings a bit after a good shave, at least you’ll smell like an old man.
Stocking up on groceries? You may need to bundle up in this sophisticated puffer jacket, paired with a moose toque, and brown leather boat shoes for a real grown up look. If the grocery store clerk looks at you suspiciously, be sure to calm her fears and lead her to believe that your Mom’s waiting for you outside in the car and your Dad’s at work. Be sure to double bag your groceries (paper bags, of course!), and be aware of what’s going on around you at all times on your walk back home. If you need to, take refuge in a nearby church nativity scene if you feel like you’re being followed.
When you wake up on Christmas morning and realize that you’ve made some mistakes, and that being alone is kind of well… lonely, then rest assured that you are loved, that you are not a jerk, and that your family will be back very soon. Merry Christmas, Kevin!
