The Best Strange Gifts To Give
Do normal gifts bore you to tears? Want to give gifts that are a little more unusual than pajama pants and socks? Here are our favorite strange gifts for this holiday season.
Instant British Accent Breath Spray: The manufacturer says having a British accent can make you sound richer, smarter and even look more attractive. This breath spray enables you to realistically narrate travel shows and animal documentaries on TV and radio, steal the show in theatrical period pieces and war epics, and fill your pockets with phone numbers of smitten suitors, captivated by only the sound of your voice.
But they warn that if you find yourself sun burning easily, drinking more than one cup of tea a day, craving fish and chips or feeling a profound emotional connection to your local soccer team, do not panic! These are normal side effects of being British. ($5.49 from Perpetualkid.com).
If you have a bacon lover you’re shopping for, here’s an idea, bacon soap! It’s marbled like real bacon. It smells like real bacon. And while it doesn’t taste like real bacon, it sure does a body good. It even comes in a fancy tin. ($5.99 from Thinkgeek.com).
Do you have a sci-fi fan in the house? Try the R2-D2 car charger. The car charger has a rotating head, a light up eye, and two USB charging ports each of which provide 2.1 amps, enough to charge two tablets simultaneously. ($39.99 from Thinkgeek.com).

Looking for the perfect gifts for someone who is on their feet all day? Dr. Scholl has created a line of products called Dreamwalk, which insert into your shoes. Even the most beautiful shoes can turn into Shoe Meanies when they cause foot aches and pain. Dr. Scholl’s DreamWalk products are designed to make even your most uncomfortable shoes remarkably wearable from morning to night. From your sassiest heels to your loveliest flats, tame your shoes and don’t sacrifice your personal style for the sake of comfort! ($11.49 at Walgreens.com).
What can you give someone of any age who seems to have everything? Try kinetic sand! Sure, it may look like just a pile of common beach sand, but dig in and you’ll discover that in your hands is an addictive, three-dimensional building toy! Pile it, shape it, squeeze it, or just let it drift in slow motion through your fingers. This futur
istic material possesses a delightfully mushy texture and just enough malleability so it can hold the shape of simple sculptures and sand structures. A secret binding agent keeps the granules together, so you won’t find sand dunes or drifts settling around your home after playtime. Bring the fun of the beach inside, even when chilly weather strikes, or prop a dune on your desk to keep your hands entertained as you dream of your next vacation. ($15 from Uncommongoods.com).
