Guest Picks: 20 Gifts to Tickle Your Funny Bone
One of these silly presents is sure to put a smile on your recipient's face
I wouldn't necessarily use the word "tacky" to describe my handpicked selection of all that is gift-able. Wait — yes. Yes, I would. They are tacky. Delightfully tacky and tasteless and campy, and you know someone whose home will be all the better with them. — Ellen from Nouveau Stitch
'A Christmas Story' 40-Inch Leg Lamp
We have one of these in our home. You should have seen the faces of the five exchange students we had here last week. They finally relaxed once they realized the leg wasn't real. It's impossible to explain to those who don't know a "major award" when they see one.
Buddha Butter Dish
You'll no longer need to gently remind hubby it's time to hit the treadmill. Just set this butter dish in front of him and silently gaze back and forth between the dish and him. He'll get the message.
Fred & Friends Wine Monkey
What better way is there to present a bottle of the finest 2-Buck Chuck than housed in the hollowed abdomen and brain cavity of a sock monkey? The two were made for each other.
The OCD Cutting Board
When Martha says to make those carrot strips two inches, by gosh, they had better not be 2.1 inches!
Cardboard Buck Jr. Trophy
No live animals were harmed in the creation of this piece. Deer-cardboardery, while formerly considered a lost art, is alive and well and kitsching it up in the den.
iPad 2 Cat Felt Sleeve by Boutique ID
Hissssss, I said it's my iPad. If your good arm means anything to you, I'd suggest you move along.
IMM-Living Aphrodite USB Hub
Aphrodite, greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, procreation and the million electronic gadgets on my desk.
A Fragile Dog Funny Doormat
So it would behoove you to slowly back away from the door, unless you have something especially meaty in that gift bag.
Hand-Embroidered Region Pillow
Do you have a relative who refuses to get with it and use a GPS? Bring them into the 19th Century with this GPS pillow. That's right, a global positioning system that not only gets them within 500 miles of their destination, but also supports the spine while they're sleeping at the rest stop.
High Heel Cake Server
Shoes and pie — two things I never thought should be used together. Better the kitten heel than the penny loafer.
Paper Pots
These pots are for when the toilet paper absolutely, positively shouldn't be viewed with the naked eye.
Face Mug
Oh dear, Mrs. Fields has been reading those cross-marketing books again. What's next? Cookie dough antacids.
Strip Tea Glasses 13.5oz, Set of 4
I don't think this is what the Victorians had in mind when they discussed bringing a Pole to tea.
Tim Burton's Playing Cards
Add these to your weekly Texas Hold 'Em marathons and introduce some melancholy into the mix. Your guests will be too depressed to ante.
Kit Kat Clock
This is a funky and retro clock with cattitude. It was likely invented by cats whose caretakers had missed one too many 6 a.m. feedings.
Pinguino Black And Yellow Accent Lamp
Penguins mate for life, meaning that you'll need a pair of these lamps.
