Hollywood, MD – Why would anyone want a fruitcake when they can have unicorn snot instead? That’s the question some clever consumers are asking this yuletide season. Yes, unusual gifts abound this Christmas and TheBayNet.com has a quick listing of some of the oddest.
According to a web site called Epic Gifts, among the treasures for the oddball on your holiday list is the Car Band-Aid Magnet, a 17-inch-by-5-inch magnet that attaches to the exterior of your motor vehicle to cover up dings and dents. It sells for less than $15. “At least it will let people know you have a sense of humor,” Epic Gifts officials stated.
Another Epic-touted gift is the Ninja Coat Hook, a “throwing star” coat hook finely crafted of nickel-plated zinc oxide. Each hook sells for $10.95. Epic Gifts warns it is a potential choking hazard. From the looks of things it appears it could also put your eye out, sort of this year’s BB gun.
Speaking of guns—for the person on your list who can’t get enough guns or franks and burgers there’s The Condiment Gun. When it’s available (Epic Gifts reports it’s currently sold out) it sells for $15.95. You just fill two reusable cartridges with your favorite condiment—ketchup, mustard, mayo—and fire away!
For the real oddball on your shopping list, there’s the Cthulhu Ski Mask, inspired by a popular H.P. Lovecraft creature first introduced in 1928. The mask is marked down to $14.95. According to Epic Gifts, “one size fits most.”
Finally, from oddgifts.com there is Unicorn Snot Glitter Gel. This gel can be applied to the body or face and comes in three sparkly colors—gold, blue and pink. One jar is just 9.99. It is the perfect stocking stuffer.
Remember it’s the thought that counts and “what were you thinking” is likely to be the emotional reaction you receive when one of these gifts is unwrapped on Christmas Day. Merry Christmas!
