The Weirdest Little Gifts We Could Find
Some gifts are useful. These are not. They are better than useful: completely, beautifully pointless, and they make people laugh out loud.
Most of these come from Archie McPhee, a Seattle novelty company that's been making weird stuff for decades.

Before you buy
Weird gifts land best when they match an inside joke. A pickle lover gets the pickle. The camper gets the fire packets.
