Mark's Top *Interesting Gift Ideas* For The 2008 Holiday!
By an Amazon.com customer
EyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth GogglesEyeClops Night Vision Infrared Stealth Goggles
This is another one of those gifts that can be dangerous in the wrong hands. Basically, this is a set of night vision goggles so you can see in the dark. These work surprisingly well. For fans of the movie "Silence Of The Lambs," it's freaky to see anybody can buy these now. Sold as a toy, but really a great gift for kids of all ages.
The Hillary NutcrackerThe Hillary Nutcracker
Buy new: $14.49
This is a third party seller item. I don't know how much explanation this item really requires. It's a Hillary Clinton nut-cracker. No matter what your political affiliation, this is a funny novelty gift that should appeal to a lot of people.
CSB Bill Clinton CorkscrewCSB Bill Clinton Corkscrew
Buy new: $19.49
The corkscrew Bill Clinton shows that people can be very irreverant about their political leaders. I think this is another item that kind of speaks for itself.
The Ex Knife Set CollectionThe Ex Knife Set Collection
The whole collection page. Individual colors are listed below to make them easier to find.
The Ex 5-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Set with Unique Holder, BlackThe Ex 5-Piece Stainless-Steel Knife Set with Unique Holder, Black
Buy new: $69.95
The Ex is one of those gifts I never saw before I started shopping on Amazon.com. This 5 piece knife set is designed by Raffaele Iannello, who was likely questioned by authorities after making this. It comes in a variety of colors and it ranges in price from $59 to $119. Just be careful. Giving this gift to the wrong person could be very easily misunderstood. :)

Fred Toothpick Holder, Ouch GrayFred Toothpick Holder, Ouch Gray
Buy new: $9.00
The Fred Toothpick Holder is similar in appeal to "The Ex" knife set. Of course, this guy is a lot smaller, simpler and less expensive. Then again, not everybody uses toothpicks. Whatever the case, I would not advise giving this as a gift to those who openly practice the dark arts.
Pinzon Musical Cake KnifePinzon Musical Cake Knife
Buy new: $8.99
Cut your holiday cake AND play a song that is sure to freak people out? How could anybody not want this? I don't own this item yet, so I can't speak to the quality. But this is definitely the sort of kitsch that my family would go crazy over.
La Crosse Technology WS-9740U-IT-NL Wireless Temperature Station with Remote Sensor and Dress-for-Weather IconsLa Crosse Technology WS-9740U-IT-NL Wireless Temperature Station with Remote Sensor and Dress-for-Weather Icons
Buy new: $28.95
The weather station with the *advanced icon* basically gives you an image of a woman whose clothing adjusts based upon the current temperature. For obvious reasons, the one with the female icon sells for MUCH MORE than the one with the male icon. However, to each their own. :)
La Crosse Technology WS-9611U-IT Wireless Sun/Moon Forecast Station with Oscar OutlookLa Crosse Technology WS-9611U-IT Wireless Sun/Moon Forecast Station with Oscar Outlook
Buy new: $25.99 / Used from: $23.99
The same concept, except that this one has the guy whose clothes change. To be honest, these are really better as novelty gifts than actual sources of weather forcasts, but they will give you the internal and external termperature ok.
Fred Boost Booster SeatFred Boost Booster Seat
Buy new: $20.00
Do you have a short friend that enjoys a laugh? This booster seat is difficult to resist!
Cloud b Twilight Turtle - Constellation Night LightCloud b Twilight Turtle - Constellation Night Light
Buy new: $18.12
A cool turtle night-lite. Also comes in other styles.
EyeClops BioniCamEyeClops BioniCam
Buy new: $78.35
One of several microscopes made for kids but can be used by anybody. Alows you to take close up pictures of lots of things and save them.
The Howdy Doody Show- 40 Episode CollectionThe Howdy Doody Show- 40 Episode Collection
Buy new: $14.99 / Used from: $12.50
This new set is freaky just because of the Howdy Doody face on the cover! I know many people loved this show. But I can't help but think about the Twilight Zone episode where the ventriloquist's doll comes to life when I see this set. So it's good as a sincere present for fans or as a gag gift. :)
Fred Lift and Shake Salt and Pepper SetFred Lift and Shake Salt and Pepper Set
This salt and pepper shaker is ideal for those who collect such items, but also for those that need to be reminded to go to the gym. Lifting this guy is the biggest workout I have gotten in quite a while.
Charming Christmas Henrietta Chicken, LargeCharming Christmas Henrietta Chicken, Large
Buy new: $12.49
This is another one of those gifts that I never would have known about if not for Amazon. This very freaky looking chicken is marketed as a pet toy, but I think it looks weird enough to be displayed in any off-kilter home. :)
Knitting With Dog Hair: Better A Sweater From A Dog You Know and Love Than From  A Sheep You'll Never MeetKnitting With Dog Hair: Better A Sweater From A Dog You Know and Love Than From A Sheep You'll Never Meet by Kendall Crolius
Buy used from: $11.59
Know somebody whose dog sheds too much? This book shows you how to knit clothing from dog hair. That will give them the hint! One of the freakiest ideas I have ever seen.
Pull My Finger, Fart PenPull My Finger, Fart Pen
Buy new: $3.79
Pull the finger on this *fart pen*. Seems like it's only from 3rd party sellers for now. Credit goes to YodaOK for this suggestion. Thank you!!!
Weener Kleener SoapWeener Kleener Soap
Buy new: $5.99
Another third party item, and one that I really can't explain! More of an *immature adult* item. Thanks again to YodaOK for this one.
Wild Planet Dino Magic Volcano Playset with Magic EggWild Planet Dino Magic Volcano Playset with Magic Egg
Credit for this suggestion goes to Hummingbirder. I am getting flashbacks from "The Land of The Lost!" I will probably buy this for myself, because I have too much time on my hands.
Walter The Farting Dog 8" PlushWalter The Farting Dog 8" Plush
Buy new: $12.17
That'll teach you to give Walter too much wet food! Another HB suggestion.
Walter the Farting DogWalter the Farting Dog by William Kotzwinkle
Buy new: $9.32 / Used from: $0.02
The companion book that brings Walter's story to life. Have some clothes pins handy.
