Unconventional (Christmas) gift ideas!

jcsk88 · 12-11-2009, 03:23 PM

Okay, in line with this festive season, I thought it'd be rather interesting to see what wacky gift ideas you guys can come up with. I'd say a jewelled cockroach (which I saw on an episode of America's Next Top Model) is rather unconventional, but I'm sure some of you have even better (or worse) suggestions. Feel free to come up with a list of who gets what among family and friends. Have fun, and happy holidays!

Well... we usually give SOMEONE a garden gnome... just because we can...

I'm giving Smiley the best present she could ever get. *mail-man hands Smiley enormous present*

*Smiley gleefully sits down and rips open present*

*Iri pops out of box, screaming, "MERRY CHRISTMAS!"

*Smiley goes into temporary cardiac arrest*

I always wanted an Iri in a box.

Yessssss! But see, Bowie. /I/ got her. Me!

Iridescence · 12-12-2009, 02:47 AM

Sorry, Bowie, only one Iri-in-a-box in stock.

However, I'm getting you a lizard in a suit-and-tie for Christmas! His name is Leroy! Yay! ^_______^

Yay for Leroy.

I'm thinking of getting a bag of droppings for one of my co-workers... nasty blighter...

A live cheese-covered moose with an Iri-in-a-box to go with it.

I got some weird gifts from Firebox.

I got my stepdad a packet of spacefood neopolitan icecream, my brother an 'eatmecrunchy bowl' which is a cereal bowl that stops your cereal going soggy (genius!), and one of my friends a USB stick that looks exactly like a lego brick. xD

They have some other cool stuff on there, too, like Marshmallow Fluff (so nice!), a pillow that you can hook your ipod to so it plays music only you can hear, an alarm clock that will roll off your desk and whizz aroudn your room making noises until you get up and chase it, and lots of other wacky stuff. xD
