One-of-a-kind Stupid Gifts!

"Festive Fridays with Fun on the Blog"...
There are like 83 days left till Christmas, or something like that. This means various department stores will be sending out their Wish Book catalogs soon, and advertisements for Holiday shopping are just around the corner. In the spirit of shopping, and in pondering just the right gift, I came across several of the wrong gifts. I mean, who comes up with this stuff???
Check out the following REAL items for sale...Starting with the Lame down to the InSane...


Piano Gloves...only $69.95 (click here) Look Ma - No Hands! No Piano!


Giraffe for Baby...$95.96(??)Ok - so the ad says for ages 3 & up. Clearly, they think this baby looks three, and furthermore...how does one "play" with this exactly? If I'm gonna spend near $100, I am gonna expect a little more bang for my buck!
You Light My Fire - Pewter Match only $20 "Sorry dear...I couldn't afford that diamond ring you wanted...but here's a Pewter Match to show you just how much I love you(?)"



$59.99 to give your Ex the Ex! There's just so much good material here, I don't even know where to begin...well, except I can think of one more place to put a knife - hahaha.


WTFreak??? Here you have your "precious" little Devilynne from Krypt Kiddies.com for only $175 $175!!! Are you kidding me??? Geesh! If I wanted to crap my pants on Christmas morning, I'd make some of the traditional fruit cake, with an extra helping of fruit & fiber; not stick this hideous thing under the tree!!! And by the way - this is a "mild" doll! That's right! Apparently, Satan has a whole line in his collection!


Security Briefs are underwear that have a nasty stain in the back and a hidden Velcro compartment in front to stash your valuables. They cost $10 over at amazon.com and are pretty gross.

These are only a few of the ones I found! I am sure there are tons more!!! Let me know what you find when you're out doing your holiday shopping!!!

    Greetings from Wisconsin!! Congratulations on your surprise BATW feature. I hope you enjoy your day in the sun.

    As for the "gifts", I don't even know where to begin...I love the ex your ex. Really, that's just a public service.

    You light my fire matches...good for anyone who smokes. Don't let Smoky the Bear see thiese.

    The Krypt Kiddies and the underwear are just too disturbing for words.

    SURPRISE! We are crashing your Friday from BATW.

    I really enjoyed the crazy gifts. That doll was freaky! It reminded me of nightmares I used to have about Chucky. I've seen a giraffe like that at an FAO Schwartz store, my two year old sat on it, and I have a picture too. :)

    I hope you enjoy your spotlight and meet some new people.
    Hugs from Georgia via BATW,
    Amy ;)

    Ummm... wow... Those sure are unique gifts...
    Sometimes I wonder what on Earth people were thinking when they did things like this. I mean, seriously, WHY?
    Anyway... Have a happy day!

    Those are awesome. I personally think the stained briefs are genius. I mean what robber is gonna bother with some streaked undies? I'd put my money in there and feel okay leaving it in a hotel room while I go out. but that doll is absolutely disturbing.

    oh wow....hitch-hiked over from BATW...and i've got to say that some of those gifts are outrageous! and that devil doll---yikes! i guess that you could send it to someone you really, really hate---but that wouldn't be very Christlike, now would it?

  19. LeslieOctober 3, 2008 at 9:22 AM

    Surprise from BATW!!! Ummm....those security briefs are just plain gross. Who thinks of this stuff? Satan dolls? Absolutely frightening. Who on earth would buy anything like that? I wonder.

    Hilarious as usual:)

    I must say the "security undies" were a little disgusting.

    Love the "ex your ex"...well said comment about that.

    The "doll"...I don't even think you could call it that...that was just down right frightening and disturbing!

    Happy Friday and Happy Snake Hunting:)

  37. Melissa LesterOctober 3, 2008 at 3:23 PM

    Wow, those are ... interesting. My brother-in-law and his friends have an annual tradition of getting together for Rotten Toy Christmas. I don't quite understand their system, but they try to find the worst actual toy, and gag gifts are looked at with shame. They started this tradition in college, and now they have been doing RTC for more than a decade. So he keeps his eyes out all year for rotten toys.

    As far as your finds, I can't believe anyone would pay that much for a creepy doll!

  38. purplehazeOctober 3, 2008 at 3:59 PM

    I can't believe the stuff they try to sell, but the underwear is way to much! The devil doll well that is ok, but would never put that under my tree!!

    I would not waste a dime on any of those things. They are way to bizzare for me.
    Except the underwear. I have been thinking of doing something similar to my undies for a trip to Africa. Will be leaving the brown stain off though.
    Enjoy your BATW suprise day.
