The search for that special gift

Posted by admin on Dec 2, 2008 in Community | 0 comments

The holiday shopping machine is starting its engine and beginning its ploughing of many unsuspecting folk. Since the idea of gift giving is meant to be both a gesture of love and goodwill, getting that perfect gift for family and friends is important and should not be taken lightly. Thus in order for you to avoid the fear of buying a gift that millions of others will likely receive, we here at the Mars’ Hill have scoured the depths of the internet for some of the most creative and unique gift ideas. Enjoy, and happy holidays to each and every one of you or in the words of Tiny Tim: “God bless us everyone.”

The Barack Obama action figure:
Who wouldn’t want an action figure of the first African-American president? While he may not have the experience of a Barbie or a G.I. Joe, what he lacks in experience he makes up for with sheer charm and boyish good looks. And now all of the features that made you fall in love with the man can be yours for only $12.95. So why not give the gift that will keep you clamouring for change? Also available is the John McCain action figure. The great thing about the John McCain action figure: it’s only half the price of Obama, but still comes equipped with the same fun factor, just without the power.

The Octodog Frankfurter Converter:
Most people love hot dogs and some people love octopuses. So if you know someone who would love to find a way to combine the two, then look no further than the patented Octodog Frankfurter converter. This little puppy will magically convert any old boring hot dog into a wondrous octopus-shaped hot dog. And honestly, who wouldn’t be satisfied with being able to create their own Octodogs? A guaranteed hit at any party, no one should pass up the chance to own one of these bad boys.

Jumbo Giant Pencil or Giant Teacups with matching saucers:
For those who follow the train of thought that bigger is always better, then these items would make the perfect gift. Not only are these things giant-sized, but they are also fully functional. Know anyone who has ever wanted to write an exam with a 14” pencil or have an aunt who just could never fit enough tea in her cup? Then here you have everyday items, only 75 per cent larger than any human actually needs.

Toe socks:
Yes, toe socks have been dead for several years, but that’s not to say they still don’t make great gifts. Do you have a boyfriend who insists on wearing socks with sandals or a girlfriend who just wants to relive those trends from her pre-teen years? Toe socks will fill that void: unique, functional and strangely comfortable, toe socks have it all going for them. These days it takes some daring people to bring things back from extinction, but unlike bringing back the dodo, toe socks can be revived and it all starts with Christmas gifts.

There are many creative and unique treasures in the world. Hopefully in the coming weeks with this guide you’ll be able to put aside those ubiquitous ties and gift cards, and instead give a gift that truly is one in a million.
