38 Interesting, Unique, And Straight-Up Bizarre Gifts
Bird Call — a goofy party game that'll have the whole house hooting, cawing, and croaking. Players call out bird sounds and trade cards when they find another player matching their call.
A set of Troll Doll lighter cases so they can enjoy making their new toys go Super Saiyan whenever they want to light a candle. The cases come nude or in silly knit sweaters, so I'm sure your crafty friend would have a lot of fun with these.
A can of whipped crea— I mean, sunscreen that just looks like dessert, so don't eat it, OK? This tasty-looking skincare will make them feel like a cherry pie instead of looking like one (baked to a crisp).
A pair of sticky hand earrings you don't even have to play an hour's worth of arcade games to win for them. And these days, they're probably cheaper than an hour in an arcade, too!
Or, a pair of mismatched fork and outlet earrings they can wear as an ode to one of their most prominent intrusive thoughts. What an ~electrifying~ design!
A pack of food-themed bandages to make injuries feel a little more bearable. After all, who could stay upset while wearing a pickle or pizza slice on their arm? Not me.
It's Bananas! — a giggle-inducing ring game that involves strapping on a monkey tail, hitting a spinner, and completing challenges to win banana tokens. I hope they've been doing their squats!
A phone umbrella that suctions onto the back of their phone, allowing them to properly scroll without raindrops or sun glare ruining their view of Reviewbrah's latest video. As silly as it looks, reviewers swear by this for their Kindles when reading poolside.
Incredible washi tape featuring medieval-style knights fighting wyrms — or well — worms on strings.
A squishy blobfish sure to cheer them up when they're glum — or at least ensure they're never the saddest looking person in the room.
A snail (or alien) headband offering an extra set of eyes for their skincare routine. It'll keep their hair out of the way and put them in the right mindset for slathering various serums and snail secretions.
A "Gracula" garlic crusher that ironically helps them with one of the most tedious chores in the kitchen. Just throw in the peeled cloves, twist, and feel grateful they Let the Right One In...to their kitchen.
An opossum toy who somehow managed to not only get a driver's license but also find a street-legal peanut to drive into town. Congrats, 'possum!
A sticker book filled with grouchy-looking cats. I would ask why they're so upset, but we all know cats never need a reason. They can have fun placing these directly in the sightline of anyone bugging them that day. >:(
A resin gummy worm masterpiece that any candy lover would be proud to hang in their home. Might be wise to also gift them a bag of real gummies to soften the blow of not being able to eat these rainbow beauties.
A ransom note sticker book so they can spend less time cutting up old magazines and more time sending threatening letters. With fewer magazines in print these days, it's getting harder to kidnap people the right way.
A Dingle Dangle baby distracter that's just silly enough to work. This Shark Tank star is essentially a rattle that they can wear on their head to turn themselves into a walking mobile. It'll come in handy when their fussy baby protests a diaper change.
A pack of glow-in-the-dark gummy bear nails to add a little Willy Wonka charm to their set. I know they stopped biting their nails in middle school, but they may be tempted to pick the habit back up after wearing these.
A handy fork that clips onto the side of their pickle jar for easy midnight snacking.
A working claw machine they can fill with any tiny treats they'd like, from squishy toys to candy to...uhm...bones. Now they can say, "we have a claw machine at home."
A miniature wacky waving inflatable tube man in case they wanna grow up to be a used Hot Wheels salesman and need something to draw in new customers.
An infectious disease coloring book oozing with hours of gross relaxation. This purchase is nothing to sneeze at.
An "ugly" custom pet pillow offering a hilariously warped version of their scrunkly companion. Just send in a photo that you think could be distorted into something perfectly meme-able.
A wind-up toy shaped like a cat riding a robot vacuum. We've all seen the videos — it's time to recreate it at home.
A set of cowboy straw toppers that add a little "don't mess with Texas" vibe to their water bottle by protecting the drinking straw from strangers bumping into it. Look how cute this bottle looks with a lil' hat on! It thinks it's people. :')
A magnetic goose holder if they're alwaaaays forgetting their keys. They can use it to hold up anything magnetic (I'm envisioning maybe a mini metal basket filled with knickknacks) — some reviewers have been arming theirs with knives.
A Grim Steeper silicone tea infuser that doubles as a useful reminder to people not to bother them until they're done with their morning cuppa.
A Skin1004 Zombie Pack to bring their skin back to life in a good, non-horror movie way. The mask tightens as it dries, creating a fun undead look (just like the more expensive Hanacure). When they wash it off, they might be pleasantly surprised to see bouncier, more hydrated skin.
Snif's Dead Dinosaur perfume — an ode to standing at the gas station and huffing the fumes. The garage-themed scent has notes of gasoline, pink pepper, ginger, cedar wood, and magnolia flower. One reviewer called it "funky but surprisingly wearable."
A mini Bob Ross paint-by-numbers kit that comes with three different numbered canvas designs, seven paint pots, a mini brush, and an easel to display their tiny masterpieces. It's perfect for adults and teens looking for a quick project and kids working on their fine motor skills.
A giant bread pillow they can cuddle up with and get nice and toasty. They may want to also get a real baguette because this thing is making me hungry!
A miniature Otamatone keychain for playing little ditties on the go. I can't tell you how many times I've been on a date and wished I had my little music note instrument so I could serenade them. This version has classic (public domain) tunes that they can play along with by pressing the button in rhythm to the song.
A set of mushroom bookmarks because I know I'm not the only one who wants to live in a fairytale home. Since the silicone mushies are flexible, they can even pop them in the middle of their book to save their spot mid-page.
A live, self-sustaining Venus flytrap lightbulb they can watch flourish, no matter what color their thumb is. They can remove and replant when it gets too big!
A shark onesie for anyone who wishes every week was shark week. The wide fin sleeves and toothy hood make this the ultimate cozy hang 'fit.
Skittles flavor enhancers so their water can taste like candy. A solid choice for the friend who turns their nose up at good old-fashioned water.
A pack of four Croc-inspired car air fresheners that promise to smell a lot fresher than actual clogs. The, uh, unconventional car accessories clip onto their vents and come with 12 scent pads (four lavender, four fern, and four unscented).
Stay weird!

The Savannah Bananas are having a wild summer. How much are tickets now?
Vivid Seats is the New York Post's official ticketing partner. We may receive revenue from this partnership for sharing this content and/or when you make a purchase. Featured pricing is subject to change. Somehow, the Savannah Bananas keep outdoing themselves. The wildly entertaining team known for viral stunts — like batters fishing on stilts, catchers on beanbags, umpires showing off surprisingly impressive dance moves — upped the ante this summer and invited 2000s emo mainstays All-American Rejects to perform an in-game concert at Fenway Park. Lead singer Tyson Ritter worked his way from the packed stands to the field to deliver abridged versions of their hits 'Move Along,' 'Dirty Little Secret' and 'Gives You Hell' while the Bananas danced and clapped in the background. '[Banana ball] takes everything dull or overly subtle about baseball and smashes it underfoot, while dancing to a pop song,' The Post shared in a gleeful op-ed. Other fun bits they've pulled off these past few months include a hoppy suitcase race, lip-synced walks to the plate, choreographed 'Drake and Josh' dances and an on-field appearance by the endlessly catchy Fitz and the Tantrums (seriously, check their Instagram Reels and you won't be able to leave the page for hours). What other tricks does the rule-breaking, fun-loving club have up their sleeve later this summer? While we can't say for sure (although we have our fingers crossed that 78-year-old pitcher/former Red Sox star/semi-regular Banana Ball player Bill 'Spaceman' Lee takes the mound again), all we know is the best way to find out is live. New Yorkers are in luck, too. On Saturday, Sept. 13 and Sunday, Sept. 14, the Savannah Bananas are headed to the Bronx for a pair of games at Yankee Stadium against their rival, The Firefighters. Want to be there? At the time of publication, the cheapest tickets for a game at Aaron Judge's home field is $102 including fees on Vivid Seats. Their other games at stadiums all over the country have seats starting anywhere from $169 to $951 including fees.

To find the one that makes the most sense for you, you can review All-American Rejects' complete 2025 calendar here. About the Savannah Bananas After forming in 2016, the 'exhibition barnstorming baseball team' made a name for themselves by embracing 'exhibition' and 'barnstorming' while halfway ditching 'baseball.' The team now plays banana ball which has quirky rules like fan-caught foul balls counting as outs, games not being allowed to exceed two hours in length and batters stealing first base. Yet, still, that's barely scratching the surface of the innovative game's showmanship. Simply put, we recommend following Savannah's Instagram to see what hijinx the entertaining team is up to. Savannah Party Animals As you may have noticed, most games will find the Bananas squaring off against their cherished rival, the Party Animals. Also based out of Savannah, the team is evenly matched with the Bananas. 'I think there are some guys that are obvious fits for the Bananas, and some guys that are obvious fits for the Party Animals,' coach Nate Fish told Savannah Now following team tryouts. 'We need the games to be really competitive. We can't load up one team. It's not like the (Harlem) Globetrotters and the (Washington Generals). The games aren't scripted. The games are highly competitive. Anyone can win. We have to take a look at balance to do that.' Savannah Bananas 2025 roster Who are the stars that make up the Bananas squad? Great question.

Video: Baby Goes Through Multiple Emotions While Trying Out a Banana
Like many adults, babies are also picky and sometimes fussy eaters. Their reactions to certain foods are unpredictable. While some babies like blueberries, some hate them. Similarly, a few infants love bananas, while others just can't stand the fruit. Going by the reaction, it seems August also dislikes bananas. Upon trying the fruit for the first time, this cute little one goes through various emotions before announcing his final verdict. Watch the hilarious video of this baby trying the banana for the first time to see his hilarious yet adorable expressions. Bananas are one of the many foods given to infants when they start solids for the first time. This is because bananas are healthy and easy for babies to eat and digest. But going by August's expressions in the video, it seems he is not impressed by the taste of this fruit. The clip starts with August sitting in a high chair and waiting for his mom to feed him something new. With everything set, the mother feeds a spoonful of mashed bananas to her child, hoping he might like the taste. However, things don't go as planned. The texture and the taste of the fruit leave August a little confused and shocked. By the third bite, August expresses his instant disapproval by crying and refusing to have any more banana pulp. The mom quickly wipes August's mouth as he cries and tries to get up from his seat, hinting that he can't have more of this fruit. Looking at the infant's reaction, even the mom felt, 'August didn't like bananas I guess.' And many Instagram users agreed with the parent. Netizens posted their thoughts in the comment section of the reel, with one saying, 'He don't like!' Another person said, 'Yes August Baby Don't Like Banana Clever Boy.' Some parents even shared similar experiences with their kids. One user wrote, 'its too sweet for them , same reaction of my boy.' While another individual commented, 'Reminds me of my son.. he is only ok with cavendish bananas at that age .. no other bananas and papayas.'
