Have you ever passed something in the store and thought “who on Earth would need that?” or “who even came up with that?” Well, the answer is “someone with an interesting story.”
The 60 items in this slideshow are all things that made us stop and wonder, roll our eyes, or just shake our heads.
1. Snowball, the two-headed teddy bear
Give your kids the gift of the avant-garde for the holidays by buying them this two-headed teddy bear.
The best part: It’s bound to freak people out in the best way possible.
2. Senior citizens in a golf cart wall decal
We totally feel you.
And if you’re a renter, you may have even more trouble finding something that doesn’t require you to drill a hole in the wall.
Well, now you can buy a giant sticker of two senior citizens on a golf cart – to fill the space on your wall AND in your heart.
The best part: You’ll get the see a variety of dumbfounded looks when people view it for the first time.
3. Roast beef sandwich bath soak
Are you not content to just take an unscented bath?
Make yourself clean AND hungry with a bath smoke that smells like a French dip. Just watch out for dogs that catch a whiff.
The best part: They’re careful to say it’s a unisex bath soak, so don’t feel like your sex or gender confines you.
4. USB/LED alarm clock fish tank
Am I right?
No?
Let’s face it, fish deserve better, although we see what kind of relaxing setup they’re going for.
The best part: It has “6 modes of tranquil nature sounds, like sounds of frogs, sounds of bird, sounds of water, etc.” Because why not add more nature?
5. Egg separator that looks like a runny nose
Now you can level up with the Mr. Sneezy egg separator so your eggs whites can look like snot. Finally!
The best part: You can also use it as a gravy boat or syrup dispenser! The sky’s the limit.
6. Does It Fart? book
Sorry we ruined that part of the book for you but there are many other animals included in this definitive guide to which animals do and don’t pass gas.
The jury is still out on spiders, by the way.
The best part: The book includes information on how often animals fart, what their farts smell like, and why.

8. Jaw exerciser and neck toning device
There are 7 days in a week and you’ve already got leg day, arm day, and ab day. Isn’t it time for mouth day?
(Caution: may destroy teeth.)
The best part: No one can talk to you about their workout while they’re using it.
9. Lumberjack punching a bear shower curtain
At the very least, people will be really amused/confused when they walk into your bathroom.
The best part: You can also buy a shower curtain of a bear punching back.
10. A cat carrier dress
Why stop there? This dress has a whole pouch!
While you can put anything you want in there, we’re loving the idea of the recommended cat. Cats LOVE that kind of thing.
The best part: Will also fit a small puppy. Or, like, a wallet.
11. Mac and cheese candy canes
Now you can get the mac and cheese effect with slightly fewer calories and way more sugar by noshing on these candy canes.
The best part: Mac and cheese will probably (somehow) taste even better after you try these.

14. Life-size Celine Dion cut-out
But for $69.97 + $14.97 shipping you can pretend the songstress herself is right in your very home.
The best part: The sellers warning “Please, BEWARE OF IMITATIONS!” We bet Celine Dion is saying the same thing.
15. 5-gallon portable toilet
While it may come in handy for camping, we’re still not sure what makes it different from any other bucket with a lid, except maybe comfort.
Best part: There’s a video highlighting the many uses of the “Luggable Loo” (and it has credits at the end).
16. 2-gallon “flask”
Let’s face it, with a flask this big you can be a hero to more than one other bored person in the crowd.
The best part: It’s totally subtle.
17. Bubble wrap costume
It’s also bound to protect you just a little if you fall or get into a fight or run into a wall.
The best part: The sounds it makes when you sit down.
18. Onion goggles
Problem solved.
You could also just chill the onion before cutting it, but that’s a lot less fun.
The best part: If someone pretends they’re not crying by saying “hey, is someone cutting onions in here?” you can point out that they are indeed blubbering when they’re wearing these goggles.
19. Novelty potato that you can print your face on
Unfortunately, the rest of us do not.
The best part: It’s a real Idaho potato. It would obviously be rude to put a face on a lesser potato.
20.Twerking Einstein 3-D printed figurine
We don’t understand the appeal or the foam finger (or the fact that Einstein has boobs), but surely someone out there can explain it all.
The best part: You probably won’t ever have to see one in person.

The best part: Regretting your decision when you have to deal with the nightmares.

The best part: There’s also a coloring book.
30. Ballet spike heel boots

Enter the screaming goat figurine.
The best part: It comes with a 32-page booklet of goat facts.
32. Microwave s’mores maker
(Then again, some of them said all the plastic peeled off into their food on the first use.)
Depending on whether or not you’re scared of microwaving your food in cheap plastic, this could be the closest you get to a fireless s’mores treat.
The best part: S’mores!
33. Asymmetrical blue jeans
No, silly, we’re not talking about wearing two pairs of pants. THAT would be ridiculous.
Instead, get just one pair with two different legs!
The best part: They’re a reasonable $375.
34. Exercise block
This simple block of wood apparently makes the ideal gag gift, according to commenters.
The best part: It’s $12 you spent on a block instead of more junk food.

The best part: They come in other colors and patterns so you have an excuse to buy more than one pair.
38. Godzilla eating gnomes lawn ornament
It’s certainly a conversation piece and is bound to scare small children. It’s probably also bound to get stolen by slightly older ones.

Take your love of pizza to the next level by wearing your love of pepperoni on your sleeve.
This particular model is perfect for the holidays…because eating pizza shouldn’t stop just because there are Christmas cookies around.

50. Tortilla blanket
Do you love burritos so much that you want to become one? Then you might consider investing in this tortilla blanket.

The best part: It comes in both yellow (corn) or white (flour).
