For The Man Who Has Everything:

Safe sex is fun and stylish with the Condom Box. (Via Thrillist).

This reminds me of my favorite story about condoms. When i was a wee freshman back in 2002 - i was (and still am) part of a group called T.R.I.B.E. a group that promoted Israel and Israeli culture to college students in the Boston area (by college students). So we were planning a Yom Hatzmot party which we labeled "Studio 54" since Israel was turning 54 years-old. At the time the second intefida was in full force and we were trying to help bring about a safer image of Israel. Anyway for a promotion material we as a group decided to give away condoms. Here's the slogan we came up with:
Israel
(Open the flap.)
It's Safe To Come
We thought it was brilliant (and actually other groups followed suit and copied our idea)
However, the next year the plan was vetoed when legitimate Jewish organizations found it a bit tasteless (prudes!). But for a year we had our glory and our condoms!
