All The Stuff You Can Buy For Your Meme-Obsessed M8s This Chrissy
With Afterpay, you can spread your payment over four easy instalments.
This Christmas, I got my partners’ 18-year-old brother in Secret Santa. Since I’m 24 and a lady, I don’t understand what people in his age group like to be given as gifts. Bionicles? Lego?
But as I banged the heel of my hand against my forehead, I had a lightbulb moment: Memes.
Memes are things I can buy for Christmas, and this list is hours of research into the very best in meme merch. And, because this is we are truly living in the Golden Age of the internet, you can by them all on Afterpay.
#1 Grumpy Cat Christmas Tee
If meme-based merchandise was the entertainment industry, I feel like Grumpy Cat would be Brad Pitt or George Clooney. Instantly recognisable, charming from afar and absolutely everywhere. This shirt is meme-y AND festive, yet so recognisable that even Nana will chuckle over the super funny joke. Grumpy Cat doesn’t like Christmas. Get it? It’s because he’s grumpy.
Cost: $25 or 4 x $6.25 instalments with Afterpay
#2 Paladone Meme Magnets
This magnet set gives me strong fridge poetry vibes, but like, meme-y. Basically, you can make your own memes on the fridge all year round. It doesn’t come with any pictures, but I reckon all those photos of your dad yelling at you from the couch would suit pretty well, and you can rotate it with a photo of your sister as a fat naked baby.
Cost: $10 or 4 x $2.50 instalments with Afterpay
#3 Catstronaut Socks
These’ll go perfectly with your recipient’s Grumpy Cat Christmas Tee AND you could wear them to work. If you work at NASA. Or basically anywhere that has a reasonably lax policy on novelty socks. Picture everyone you love, sitting at their desk wearing catstronaut socks. What a conversation starter.
And, split over four payments with Afterpay, they’re basically free.
Cost: $5.95 or 4 x $1.49 instalments with Afterpay
#4 The World Made Meme
This one is more for your mate that loves memes, dankness, and communications theory. From what I gather, this book is for someone who has elevated beyond rage comics and Bad Luck Brian and wants to know the ins outs and whys of meme culture. This book is for your mate who is so deep in the meme-isphere they have a million followers who are all American teen boys.
Cost: $39.75 or 4 x $9.94 instalments with Afterpay
#5 Advanced Meme Magic ($26.25)
I saved this one for last because oh my golly gosh what a treasure trove. Advanced Meme Magic by Saint Obama’s Momjeans is truly a gift to us all. I can’t actually work out what this book is about, but I want it. I wanna buy four copies and send them to my friends. I want us all to open them together and discover all the pages are blank, or that reading it will summon a demon from my past.
Cost: $26.25 or 4 x $6.56 instalments with Afterpay
