Need gift ideas?

We hate to be the ones to break this to you, but the holidays are coming up quick. Christmas, Hanukkah, Yule, Kwanzaa — you name it, it’s coming. “Sweet mother of pearl,” we hear you muttering to yourself, in quite an odd figure of speech. “What will I get the strong, smart, sassy teenage girl in my life?”

Perhaps some of you are opting out of gift-giving this year. Fair enough. But for those of you scrambling around for the perfect present, may we humbly suggest a subscription to Shameless (just $12 in Canada, $22 in the U.S.), or a copy of our rockin’ CD compilation, Good Grooming For Girls (just $13 with shipping, in Canada and the U.S.)? They’re affordable, engaging gifts, sure to make your friend or family member squeal with delight. And every purchase you make helps Shameless keep on doing what we do.

If you have a PayPal account, you can buy a subscription online here:

Or buy the CD here:

If you prefer the old fashioned way, send well-concealed cash, a cheque or international money order to:

Shameless, P.O. Box 68548, 360A Bloor St. W., Toronto, ON, M5S 1X1.

PLEASE NOTE: No matter how you place your order, be sure to specify that it’s a gift and include the lucky recipient’s full mailing address.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL INDIE MAG, NOT YOUR LOCAL MEGA-MALL!!
