Weird, Wild, and Wonderful Gift Ideas

With not much more than a week until Christmas, you're probably getting down to those last few gifts on your list. And those last few are always the toughest; they're the ones for the people who either already have everything or who don't want anything. So here are a few ideas for interesting and unusual presents that will tickle the fancy of even the toughest gift recipient, in order by price from lowest to highest. 

Pancakes and Maple Syrup Jelly Beans ($2.99 from Off the Wagon Shop)

For a tasty treat that's unusual without being off-the-wall weird, how about a little pack of pancakes and maple syrup-flavored Jelly Belly jelly beans?

Shark Bath Bomb ($5.99 from Bath Bombs Baby)

Cue the Jaws theme when you drop this cute bath bomb in the tub, because it will quickly show evidence of a recent attack as it dissolves and the shark releases "blood" from its, erm, jaws. 

Giant Inflatable Unicorn ($7.95 from WalMart)

Giant. Inflatable. Unicorn. Do I really need to say anything else about this one?

Murder Mystery Jigsaw Puzzle ($19 from Uncommon Goods)

For the jigsaw puzzle or whodunnit fanatic who likes a little twist, first solve the 500-piece jigsaw puzzle - using a story rather than a picture of the puzzle - then use the clues to solve the mystery! 

Lester's Fixins Soda ($22.99 from Soda Emporium)

This variety pack of eight 12-oz bottles of gourmet soda includes flavors like peanut butter & jelly, bacon maple, ranch dressing, buffalo wing, sweet corn, and more. 

Dinosaur Head Lunch Box ($28.25 from Amazon)

A dinosaur lunchbox is cool, but not as cool as a dinosaur HEAD lunchbox. The carrying strap doubles as a muzzle so no-one in the cafeteria gets accidentally chomped. And the jaws open super-wide for easy access (and easy chomping). 

Pizza Socks Box ($29.99 from Amazon)

The four pairs of pizza-themed socks (Hawaiian, Italian, Pepperoni, and Mushroom) are fun enough on their own, but they come arranged like a pizza in a fabulous pizza box and are protected by their own little "pizza table." Adorable!

Hostess Cakes Flavored K-Cups ($30.87 from WalMart)

Taste the nostalgia in these cappuccino and hot cocoa k-cups flavored like your favorite childhood Hostess treats: Twinkies, Snoballs, Cupcakes, and Ding Dongs. 

Jellyfish Lamp ($39.89 from Amazon)

Everybody has had a lava lamp at one time or another, but not very many can claim to have had a jellyfish lamp! Watch the soothing movement of the jellies' realistic tendrils as they move up and down in the color-changing lighted chamber. 

Portable UV Toothbrush Disinfecting Case ($39.99 from Bril)

The ultimate gift you didn't know you needed, this tiny case uses UV-C light to disinfect your toothbrush, killing 99.9% of viruses and bacteria that can live there. 

Wild Game Jerky ($48 from Amazon)

This pack of 24 individually wrapped jerky sticks includes exotic meats like wild boar, duck, alligator, kangaroo, ostrich, and more. Low in fat and calories and high in protein!

Repurposed Cotton Sari Robe ($50 from Uncommon Goods)

Colorful, practical, and ecologically-minded, this comfy robe recycles strips of beautiful cotton print saris to make a one-of-a-kind patchwork pattern that is unique to each robe. 

And don't forget to complete the weirdness by wrapping your gift in bacon-scented wrapping paper ($19.99 from Manly Man Co.) for the perfect finishing touch!
