Weird and wonderful gift ideas

Impress the friend or family member who has everything with a chic or quirky home decor item. These are our fave finds:

Animal ornaments

For the lovers of all things nature, an out-there animal ornament could make the perfect addition to their house. From origami flamingos to resin dogs you’ll quickly become immersed in this weird and wonderful world.

Polaroid tissue dispenser

For a unique take on tissues and toilet paper, the Polaroll can be mounted in your bathroom or car. This retro dispenser is so bizarre, but somehow, it makes perfect sense.

NZ made neon sign

These limited edition, hand crafted neon glass lights made right here in Aotearoa aren’t your typical neon decor – you’ll find a neon blue Mount Everest, lightning bolts and even a Tiki available on site!

Is it a paddleboard? Is it a kayak? Or a bike? What if we told you it’s all of the above…?! This is the most wonderful water toy we ever did see.

With a built-in seat and cup holder, this inflatable kayak is designed to be ridden like a bike. Perfect for taking those solo fishing adventures to the next level! Their pedal-powered stand-up paddleboard comes complete with a handlebar – power walking on water looks weird, but oh-so wonderful.

For that friend that can’t get enough of poppin’ blackheads, a set of professional tools to get the job done will be highly appreciated #sorrynotsorry!

You could even glam up their present by choosing a gold-coloured metal extractor so they can pop their pimples in style. Or go all out with an electric deep-pore cleaner. You’re guaranteed to get everyone talking this year with this practical but peculiar gesture.

For a different gift idea with plenty of scope for a little humour, look no further than a mug – and we don’t just mean ones with wacky slogans.

Alternatively, creature cups from The Nile feature an adorable critter in the base of the cup which emerges slowly as you drink. Or check out our range of heat-change mugs for something a little offbeat.

Give a strange or special gift this year with a DIY kit. Your lucky recipient can grow crystals, assemble wooden models (there are trains, mechanical globes and even gramophones!) or create their very own diamond mosaic art.

For a gift they won’t expect, how about a 250 million year old slab of pure himalayan mineral salt?

Weighing in at just below 4kg, you’re guaranteed to have everyone guessing what this heavy gift could be! These mineral grilling blocks infuse incredible flavour into your meals too, so no doubt it’ll be made the most of at their next dinner party.

If they’ve already got a pair of headphones and a UE boom, surprise them with a bluetooth beanie which features built-in speakers! Strange, but so sensible!

Nothing says equal parts weird and wonderful like an ugly sweater! You’ll find all kinds of Christmas jerseys on site featuring pugs, Pikachu and even Will Ferrell – we reckon an ugly sweater is a laugh all year round, not just at Christmas

From Audi to Jeep – our range of ride-on cars feature all the bells and whistles! From an MP3 sound system to four-wheel suspension and even an adults’ ‘override’ remote. You’ll find pink 4WD’s, tractors and even luxury, licensed Mercedez – if this wonderful gift idea doesn’t excite the kids, we don’t know what will!

Whether you want them to say ‘whoa!’ or ‘...that’s weird,’ let these unique and wonderful gift ideas inspire you to gift outside the box.
