Unbelievably, it’s that time of year again. If you didn’t get all your Christmas shopping done on black Friday, the pressure’s on to find the perfect presents for your loved ones. Figuring out what to get isn’t always a simple task, though, and in 2020 especially, going near a mall to browse can be a daunting task. That’s why we’re here to suggest a creative Christmas gift idea that’ll put a smile on the face of your friends and family members – send them a celebrity shout out!
Cameo is a site that allows fans to book personalise video shout outs from a wide range of celebs – although whether some of the personalities available deserve the term is debatable. Among the list of stars available you’ll see names like Chuck Norris, Caitlyn Jenner, Lindsay Lohan, and even the Wu-Tang Clan. What better way to apologise for not being able to attend someone’s Christmas party by getting Carole Baskin to do it for you?
You should be warned, some of these personalities charge a small fortune to convey your message to your loved ones – a personalised video from Caitlyn Jenner will set you back $2500, while rapper The Game will charge $299 for the same thing. Local names like Eben Etzebeth start at a much more manageable $60.
You need an account in order to request a cameo from the “talent”, but you don’t need to sign up in order to browse the names available – and that in its own is a particular kind of nostalgic enjoyment. The site boasts the names of stars you haven’t heard of for decades, and one’s almost tempted to request a chat with them just to find out where they went.
There’s even an animal category – although how they’ll convey the message you intend is a mystery to me – which includes the penguins at Dallas Zoo, Fiona the Hippo, and the vaguely titled: “goats” ($25 in case you were wondering).
Whether you’re looking for athletes, reality TV stars, musicians, or creators, You’ll probably find someone from every industry who will delight the recipient of this thoughtful and creative Christmas gift. If you choose correctly, you’re guaranteed to give someone a gift they’ll remember for the rest of their lives – and which won’t clutter up their house like the range of scented candles and hand creams you got them last year.
So, if you’re out of options and in need of a Christmas gift idea, stress no further! Just pick out a(n affordable) celebrity from the list of options and let them work their magic! You can thank us later.
