This last holiday season, my budget allowed me to get everyone the grown up version of spray-painted macaroni jewelry!
Which, yes you guys, I know it is dangerous to make such a statement when so much of my flist is suddenly into Black Jewels, but in this case I am talking about *personalized alcohol glasses*. THANK YOU.
I got my brother hooked on xkcd last year, so for him I adapted the Mobius Battle Strip into the medium of cordial glasses.
Here's the set (and please excuse my choice of, uh, backdrop. It was the brightest place I could find on short notice):

But, oh noes! (Is what I might have heard you shouting at the computer screen, had there been a two way audio connection between us.) There are only six glasses! That is hardly infinity at all!
And this is a true and fair point! However, we can model the behaviour of the mobius comic strip, using nothing but the transparent property of cordial glasses and three or so radians of spinning them around.
If I may illustrate with hastily taken pictures...


Etc. Etc. Etc.
(You SEE wot I did thar?)
And when the battle is over, of course, you can finally set the *bottle* down.
What? I am sure he will use it totally responsibly.
