If there's someone in your life who's been following Alex, Priscilla, Frank, Zach and the rest of the rowdy "Real World" crew take on San Diego, then they'll love these episodic-inspired holiday gifts. Take a look below, plus check back at Remote Control tomorrow for a list of presents just right for "The Challenge" lovers:
1. Nittaku Japan Original 1200 Shakehand ($18.95)
Know a friend that enjoys playing table tennis just as much as Zach? Well make sure you outfit them with some spare paddles, ya know, in case someone threatens to toss 'em over a balcony.
2. Bandana ($6)
Some men like ties, others opt for blinged-out watches, but Frank's accessory of choice is always a head bandana. The key is to roll it up evenly; otherwise your bud will turn out looking like a pirate.
3. Anthony Logistics For Men Holiday Body Cleansing Gel ($35.00 for 32oz)
This jumbo-size body cleansing gel for men has Zach written all over it. Dude meticulously cares for his face and physique, so if you know someone that gives their bod the Zach treatment, consider this stimulating and refreshing wash. Plus, a percentage of the proceeds from the sale of the product are donated to prostate cancer research, so you'll feel all warm and fuzzy about wrapping it up.
4. IKEA PS JONSBERG Vase ($39.99)
Maybe you have a friend that loses his cool from time to time, so make sure he doesn't break anything super valuable by stocking his house with only inexpensive (yet super-stylish) vases. They're great for smashing in the middle of alcohol-induced diatribes--it's practically Frank's favorite pastime.
5. Nanda Home Tocky Alarm Clock ($62)
We always enjoy a good "Real World" prank, but few have come close to Nate and Sam's alarm clock stunt from the beginning of the season. Luckily, this clock doesn't talk...but it can still offer a pretty good headache at 5 a.m. after a night of hard partying. Note: Get this for a pal, but not a roommate!
6. "From Friend To Girlfriend - How To Get Out Of The Friend Zone" ($9.97)
Maybe you know someone who, just like Ashley, is ridiculously in love with their best guy friend but can't seem to seal the deal. Help them get out of this unsatisfying situation with an instructional guide!
7. The Real World Hook-Ups DVD (on sale $17.99)
Treat your sidekick to this one-hour exclusive DVD, which covers scandalous moments from the past 12 seasons of the "Real World." Former cast members dole out hookup tips and talk about all that went wrong since their romance aired. Toss some microwavable popcorn into the gift box for an ultimate viewing experience.
