Do you know someone who really should have a PROFESSIONAL with them at all times, like a mobile shrink? Someone who is just so jittery and anxious that inanimate objects start pacing when the person happens to come around? (That could be your OWN meds going haywire, by the way.) Maybe you are that someone.

Wouldn't it be nice if all the anxious people in the world had something nice and soothing into which they could slip their feet? Something with little Sigmund Freud heads on them?

Yes, my friend, I'm talking about Freudian Slippers. These are two of the silliest things you have ever seen in your life. Thank goodness they come as a set, because two of a silly thing is much funnier than just one of a silly thing, believe me.

Besides, the advertising on the web for these things says they will make your head all better. Isn't that much better than paying an exorbitant amount of money to a perfect stranger to dredge up what happened with your dad and the goldfish when you were eight? (Why does everything of devastating psychological importance seem to happen when you're eight?)

You know, in a way, that's no joke. People have psychological issues because something is keeping them wrapped up in the past, and they simply can't find their way to the present. This little luxury will put you in the present. Freudian Slippers will make you laugh, and laughter cures everything.

This could be a fun gift for just about anyone. However, I think it is a very inspired gift idea for a psychiatrist or therapist! They will love these things!

Be careful about giving them to people who are addicted to puns, however, especially if you happen to live with them. You will hear the words "Freudian Slippers" all the livelong day for a long time to come. Then you may be in the bughouse.
