Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) 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.
2) Pet Hair Remover for Laundry - 2-Pack
A pet hair remover for laundry is a hassle-free solution to clean up after your shedding animals. Drop the self-cleaning silicone pad in the washer and dryer along with fuzzy clothing and linens to loosen hair, dander, and lint and send it all down the drain or into the lint trap.
3) Electric Chainsaw Carving Knife
This electric carving knife gets the party started, whether it’s Thanksgiving or another get-together. An ergonomic handle gives you comfort and control, and stainless-steel blades slice through meat, bread, fruit and more. Blades are dishwasher safe for easy cleaning.
4) Statement Name Plate
These funny desk name plates mimic the real thing—with a humorous or sentimental twist. The laser-etched name plate slides into a metal desk stand to prominently proclaim your office persona. Makes a fitting gift for business-bound friends, bosses, and colleagues. Made in Pennsylvania.
5) Hand-Printed Pashmina
Slyly humorous and beautifully crafted, these pashmina scarves inject whimsy into your wardrobe. Whether it’s a geeky reference or just an offbeat print that speaks to you, these accessories are expressive and elegant—and beg for a second look. Each piece is hand-printed in Detroit onto luxe-feeling fabrics woven just for Cyberoptix.
