Weird Christmas Gifts
Tue, 09 Mar 2010 00:18:00 +0000Would you want to gift different things to your family and friends this year? Every year you wait till the last moment to decide what to buy for them and end up gifting them the same old gifts that have been passed around for all these years. Why not play around with some of the most common objects of daily use in our lives and make them unique gifts you can find online?
Think gifting USB drives is weird at Christmas? Think of it this way: if your USB stick looks like a doll whose head can be opened to reveal the connective device which is stuck into the user’s computer, then this might not be the most predictable or boring gift after all. Similarly if the USB stick looks like a thumb then it seems like there is a thumb sticking out of the user’s computer, which you have to admit as being quite a funny site.
Choose one of the worker’s helmets that are worn by construction workers with drink holders on them. Two drink holders in one helmet can be the ideal gift for your friend who likes his soda as much as his beer! Imagine him sipping on a cold bottle of beer in the middle of the living room directly from the worker’s helmet on his head. Or you can gift a tote bag to your friends and family that is made in the shape of a cassette to make it a unique gift item.
A gift does not have to be big physically. In fact it does not have to take a physical form at all. How about a free Nascar ride for a favorite friend. A hot air balloon ride might just be the one thing that excites your friend. He or she will never forget the experience and will always remember you as being the one to gift it. As such virtual gift items can be more fun than physical ones even.
When you come to think of it, you realize that there are many things that we don’t consider when we think of buying a gift for our loved ones. The trick is to think out of the box!

Halloween kinda crept up on me this year, so I'm going to go ahead and start my Christmas countdown now so that I don't forget to enjoy the season.
As of today: 52 days to go until Christmas!
What I will share to celebrate: The weirdest gifts you could give, that are actually kind of sweet.
- Chicken Poop Lip Balm. I actually saw this in the HOT Studios the other day and thought "WTF." Apparently it's pretty good, doesn't contain any poop, and is a great stocking stuffer.
- Bear Hug Body Pillow. I just have a small little "snuggler" pillow. I bet this would help on nights where I wish I had a person to snuggle.
- Grass Charging Station. Why not make your desk a little more homey with a fake plant that seems to grow iPods and cell phones?!
- Flingshot Monkey. Who wouldn't want the ability to fling a monkey across the room as it makes terrible loud noises? It'd be a great way to spice up the office.
- Neckline Slimmer. You know the people who always pull back their double chin? Well this can do them wonders!
- GPS Gag Gift. Instead of giving you directions, it yells out insults. Hopefully it will calm someone's road rage instead of making it worse.
I'm a big fan of the random presents, to be honest. As long as they'll be fun to me for at least a week, it's totally worth giving.
52 days?! REALLY?! Woah.
love,
elizabethany
