Plus, in a year plagued with shipping delays and supply chain issues, a digital gift seems like less fuss than a physical one — especially if it’s last minute.For those who really relish the live reaction, something like a gift card may feel a bit cold. Hear me out: A Cameo is a genuinely great personalized gift. There are a lot of different paths you could take here, so get some inspo below from people who have already given or received one of these digital videos via Cameo.What is Cameo?On the scene since 2017, Cameo is an app where regular people (👋) pay select celebrities to record a short, personalized video for a designated recipient. You can make one for yourself, but according to Cameo, 80% of its videos are purchased as gifts for someone else. Celebrity categories include reality TV stars, actors (multiple people from The Office are on there), athletes, musical artists, comedians, and cringe-worthy politicians. Naturally, prices depend on how big the name is. Videos can be as affordable as $20 for someone like Bobo from Finding Bigfoot, a middle-ground $200 for Oscar Nunez from The Office, and jump all the way up to $1,350 for rapper/actor Ice Cube. The average video will cost you just around $50 though. Some celebrities on the app donate their earnings to charity. For last-minute gifts, check out the “24 hour delivery” section that boasts stars with quick replies, like Tony Hawk and Kate Flannery. Santa himself is available if you’re gifting to a kid.But Cameo gem status isn’t necessarily achieved

Apparently, the pandemic-induced time distortion that defined 2020 didn’t get the memo about the new calendar year. Looking back, the events of 2021 turned out to be just as mind-meltingly difficult to keep track of as last year’s.But we are once again here to jog your memory about the wrong timeline we continue to live through.  There’s a reason why, in the beginning of the year, people were already doing retrospectives on what went down in the first week and first hundred days of 2021. It was kinda darkly funny at first, the impossibility of keeping up with the sheer amount of timeline-breaking, unprecedented shit happening. Then it just went on, and on, and on, and stopped being funny and started messing with our grasp on reality again.
