12 Unusual Christmas Gift Ideas
Thomas Hawk

Here's a confession for you: I don't enjoy shopping for Christmas gifts. It's not that I don't like to give gifts, because I do, I love seeing my friends and family happy because of something that I got for them, and I know the way that I treasure gifts and hope others do the same. It always makes me happy to use something someone gave me, because not only do I enjoy the item itself, but I get to think "Oh, so-and-so gave me this, that was so nice" and I get a bonus smile.

But finding the perfect gift is HARD. You don't want to get something that they already have, but you want it to be something they will like, too. So unless you know them REALLY well, it's hard to find the balance.

Well, don't worry, Santa's little helper is here for you. Here are a few unusual Christmas presents that your friends and family might enjoy-- and where to find them!

1. Owl Mug

These hand painted stoneware mugs are sure to bring a smile to lovers of owls and coffee. So cute!

2. Don't drop the f bomb!

I don't even have to say anything here. I know you have already thought of the perfect person for this fine, classy paperweight.

3. Peacock Glasses Holder

Just look at this guy! Who wouldn't smile as they bespectacle a peacock every night before bed?

4. Balloon Dog Night Light


Balloon animals + night light= perfect present for a child in your life.

5. FREAKING UNICORN TERRARIUM!

Did you hear me, people? You can make an adorable little home for your unicorn.

6. Funny Wall Art

All of the 90s kids who grew up playing Oregon Trail will appreciate this.

7. Seven Deadly Sins Glasses


Which of the seven deadly sins does alcohol bring out in you? Now you can show it off while you drink.

8. Middle Earth Coasters

Delightfully geeky, yet practical.

9. Viking Hair coils

For a totally unique gift idea, something to style up your hair.

10. Green Lantern Ring

Or maybe a Green Lantern ring that actually lights up?


11. Sally's Jars

Just set these guys on the mantle for smiles... or stares, depending on the company you have.

12. Foodie Dice

If you want to be on Hell's Kitchen without all the yelling (or prizes, to be fair), these foodie dice as just for you!

Toilet Troubles

"So, usually I would never go on a Tinder date but when you are out with girlfriends and a hot Bosnian guy says he wants to hang with you and his friends, you oblige. We head to their apartment and when I realized I may pee my pants if I don't find a bathroom soon. I ask for the bathroom and a friend of my tinder date shows me to it and said in all seriousness that I was not allowed to flush the toilet under ANY circumstances. Having a few drinks--or five--I relieved myself to, nevertheless, flush the toilet. Within seconds, his bathroom was flooded and towels were laid out everywhere to catch the toilet water. To say the least, we were not invited back"
