35 Weird Gifts Your Friends Will Never Expect To Get This Year

Who doesn’t love Danny DeVito? Who wouldn’t love the opportunity to have Danny DeVito stare at them as they go to bed? This gift is bound to get a ton of laughs at your family party. That is, unless you’re going for gasps.

Some may think this calendar is gross. Others may find it funny. No matter what, it’s definitely weird. And, very popular. This calendar has close to a perfect five stars on Amazon, with thousands of reviews. Let’s just say that a 2020 version of this calendar may have been even better, since you likely wouldn’t have had to look at it too much.

Listen, nobody’s taking this book seriously. But it’s still a weird and funny gift, especially if you have a new parent in your friend group. “I bought this for a baby shower but when it came I sat down to look at it and ended up reading it and laughing,” wrote Amazon Reviewer apoem. “I’ve read bits and parts out to my husband my friends it’s so funny.” Sounds like a win to me!

Did you have any idea this even existed? I didn’t — but I’m intrigued. This gift is great for the person in your life who’s really upset that the closest Arby’s is still just too far to drive to for pick-up. As the packaging states, this one’s “deliciously weird.”

Who doesn’t want to walk like the animals, and talk like the animals? These fun yet slightly disturbing socks are a good step in the right direction. (Yes, pun intended.) Amazon Reviewer Ryan Gillespie says (and yes, this is real) “Really odd. My girlfriend loves them. I definitely make her take them off before we make love. You’re welcome for not including a photo.” Still, he gave them five stars. So, solid socks and solid boyfriend.

Perfect for the adventurous eater out there. Made from both grasshoppers and agave worms, this salt is ideal for mixed drinks. All jokes aside, these are sourced from the Oaxacan Region of Mexico and may be a great step in the right direction for anyone interested in trying out new products made from less popular protein sources. Why not give it a shot?

“But, why?” you may be asking yourself. “What does anyone even do with these?” Good question. Who knows? Maybe they can serve as an additional blanket in case your heater spontaneously dies. Amazon Reviewer Amber chose to use her pair for a three-legged race, proving that these spark creativity.

This year, you might not have been able to pump quarters into a claw machine at the arcade down by the beach. But, there’s always next year. Why not let your gift recipient practice a little bit ahead of time? This game is weird, but very fun.

Listen, this may be the weirdest on the list. One of the questions on Amazon is literally “Why would anyone buy this?” And the answer is, well. Who knows. But shockingly, this senior decal has 91% of 5-star ratings. In a review titled “Now I Have Companionship,” brave Amazon Reviewer Wes states that “At first I wasn’t sure if spending money on a sticker of an old lady with an inhaler was a good idea but once I got it I knew I had made the right choice.”

This wonderful kit includes stickers, a journal, and even a bunch of facts about Sasquatch himself (or, herself.) Amazon Reviewer SKHS writes that their nephew is a huge fan  of the kit. “He’s already spotted an old bird’s nest near the bottom of a tree that he’s pretty sure Bigfoot pulled out while searching for eggs to eat,” they wrote.

Have you, or someone you loved, ever suffered from a googly eye emergency before? It was likely pretty awful. Thankfully, this gift will ensure that googly eyes are always on hand. To be honest, adding googly eyes to something is an instant mood-lifter. If your recipient is especially fond of movies like Toy Story where inanimate things come to life, this gift is a must.

Are you a millennial who’s tired of talking about avocados? Or, do you know someone who is? This is the perfect gift — a warm blanket that’ll keep you warm and toasty, much like a giant bowl of guacamole often can.
