These guides are geared towards specific interests. You’ll be able to find something for even the toughest person on your Christmas shopping list.
Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Standing Skewer Cooking System
O-Yaki’s set of nine metal skewers lets you make everything from kebabs to shrimp and even a whole chicken. The set fits right in the oven on top of a cookie sheet (and inside a grill so long as the dome is more than 8.5 inches tall). Unlike the traditional ones you have to turn, these skewers stay vertical and cook evenly on all sides.
2) Floating Flower Pin Vase
This floating flower vase creates the illusion of blossoms blooming straight up from the ground. The magic comes from brass pins in an acrylic tray that sits in the shallow ceramic vessel. Place a stem on a pin (the wider the better, like gerbera daisies—but not woody stems, like roses) and the flower will take in as much water as it needs—and stand tall in a striking display.
3) Plush Hooded Animal Cape
Wild & Soft: Plush Hooded Animal Cape - Tiger
4) Soji Stella Solar Bell Lantern - Ultramarine
Created from ultra-durable, water-resistant Tyvek® and punched with intricate patterns, this lantern will turn itself on at dusk to cast captivating patterns of light each night. Simply let the sun charge the battery before enjoying the light's glow outdoors.
5) Food Stack Prep Kit
Making sushi and other beautifully presented meals at home is as easy as stacking. This kit’s stainless steel instruments help you create restaurant-grade plates. Your sushi will have a vertical flair and even ordinary meals like mac and cheese will look extra professional.
