Is It Dead? is a functional notebook (a Phantom Book) with a ridiculous fake self-help book cover. It looks like Is It Dead?: And Other Questions Best Answered With a Stick by Martin Caldwell. Inside are lined pages you can actually write in.
Leave it on the porch or casually next to the broom. When someone picks it up they briefly wonder what kind of person owns this book. Then they notice the lined pages. Then they want one.
Best for:
Funny dad gifts, husband gifts, homeowner gifts, and roommate gifts
White Elephant gift exchanges, Secret Santa, housewarming gifts, and stocking stuffers
Anyone who has ever needed more information about something under the porch without using their hand
What’s inside: A real notebook for notes, lists, or documenting every time you poked something nine times from three different angles. The cover is the joke. The pages are yours.
Specs: 6" × 9", 200 lined pages.
