Gifts that keep on hinting
Jacked-up teeth, chronic tardiness, shocking ignorance–your friends and family have problems, but these presents offer a friendly way to send the message.
Smile like you mean it
One of the first things you notice about people is their teeth, which is why you always avert your eyes when you glance at your friend’s less-than-stellar grill. The SexySmile Golden Goddess (3) ($36 at sexysmileonline.com) features lip gloss on one end of the tube and a tooth whitener on the other. Subtly convince your friend to remove the gristle between his teeth with this Alessi dental floss holder (4) ($12.50 at Alessi)—it’s so cute, he couldn’t possibly be offended. And he can literally brush up on his oral hygiene with one of these eye-popping toothbrushes (5), available in colors such as purple gingham, yellow marble and blue glitter ($6.50 each at conranusa.com). If he asks why you’re giving him a toothbrush, just say the interesting color reminded you of him.
