21 Funky & Unique Gifts for the Home

Seeing the TERRACOCK'n'BALLS Planter got me thinking there has to be a viable use out there for the term "cactus cock." Luckily, I didn't spend too much time crafting one before I thought to Google it to see if someone else already had the same thought. And what did I find?

Well, call me prick-ly and plant me in some terracotta testicles, they did! But really, does any word or term not already exist in Urban Dictionary? According to the slang Bible, "cactus cock" is "a medical condition in males that stems from shaving the genitals, resulting in pubic hairs, in the early stages of their growth, to be prickly, itchy, and short, resembling the prickers on a cactus."

I think Unstandard Deviation Etsy shop owner Brooke DaSilva should submit a photo of her TERRACOCK'n'BALLS Planter as an entry for definition #2.

Feeling crafty? Feeling spicy? Craft a spice mosaic on your fridge, or other magnetic kitchen surface, with Gneiss Spice's sets of Magnetic Spice Jars.

Available in small and large sizes, the Magnetic Spice Jars arrive empty, in sets of 10, 12, or 24. Large jars hold 4 ounces of flavorings, or a heaping 1/2 cup, and measure 2.5" x 2.5". Small jars are 2" tall x 1.75" wide, and hold a scant 1/4 cup of spice. Jar lids are embedded with smooth neodymium magnets to hold them in place, and put your colorful dried herbs and aromatics on display in whatever artful configuration, or OCD alphabetical / frequency of use / texture scale order you like.

Thor's hammer has done a lot of dirty work in its day, but living in your bathroom as a toilet paper holder might be Mjolnir's dirtiest yet. The Marvel-themed stand can sit on the back of your toiling storing extra rolls, or you can use the included hardware to mount the hammer to your wall.

My initial thought is that Thor's hammer as toilet paper holder seems a little space-consuming as a standalone, and wall-mounted I don't even want to think about how many times I'd bang into it or jab myself with the handle. Visually though, it's a clever idea for a superhero-themed bathroom, or any Avengers fan you need a superhero gift for.

Another successful Death Star detonation whose explosion saves the galaxy! Or at least your house. Fire extinguisher balls, spheres you can roll or chuck at almost any type of flame, are nothing new, but Fireball maker Auto Fire Guard has taken the tossable firefighters a delightful (and obvious - what took so long?!) step further with their Death Star decorated Fireball.

The Fireball automatically explodes when it comes in contact with fire, unleashing a cloud of 90 - 94% pure ABC Dry Chemical Powder that removes the toxic carbon and hydrogen the fire creates. The powder itself is US-certified to be non-toxic and eco-friendly, as well as easy to vacuum up and/or sweep away after dispersal.

All that whiskey still sloshin' around inside my head from last night? It came from all the whiskey sloshin' around inside the head of this knight. The Medieval Knight's Helmet Decanter Set is a superb replica of both the head protection of the Middle Ages' finest soldiers, and the original Medieval Knight's Helmet Decanter Set, made and sold in the 60s. Here Windless has reproduced the home bar stunner in steel and aluminum.

The knight's helmet houses a 16-ounce glass bottle decanter suitable for any of your favorite shelf-stable liquors. A lift of the visor also reveals 4 x 1-ounce shot glasses. The entire set is nestled stable within cutouts inside. Total dimensions when closed are 10" tall x 9-1/2" long x 8" wide. The Medieval Knight's Helmet Decanter Set makes a most chivalrous gift for a man, and especially a man who can quote every line of Monty Python.

Welp, at least if you die of cholera now, you won't be out roughin' it on the Oregon Trail, but tucked all cozy into your Oregon Trail Wagon Bed. Not the best place to get dysentery though....

According to Oregon Trail Wagon Bed builder Hitchman Homestead, this twin-size respite for your weary bones is actually called the Goodnight Pioneer Wagon Twin Bed, but like the 19th-century pioneers of the Oregon Trail, I like to choose my own adventure when it comes to products' names.

I'm sure all of you hashtaggers, meme-makers, and Mandalorian fans who refuse to call The Child anything but Baby Yoda out there can understand.

The bronze-copper-colored Orgasmic Man is made of solid, lead-free pewter, and comes cum-ready for insertion into your standard 28/400 bottle of soap, dishwashing liquid, or lotion. And if you thought his erection was big, wait 'til you see his pump straw. That thing is a monster. It might even be too much for your bottles and jars to handle, in which case, go ahead and snip it down to a more manageable size.

Is your house a zoo? Does it have room for one more beast of the jungle? What if it's a life-size fiberglass baby giraffe bearing a Maria-Theresa chandelier? Sure, it might add to the chaos of your living room, but at least it will also shed some light on it.

Called "Giraffe in Love," this sculptural lighting installation is a collaboration between Italian artist / designer Marcantonio and Italian brand Qeeboo. Just like a real newbie giraffe, it stands 13.3' tall x 3.1' wide x 7.2' nose-to-tail. Hopefully Giraffe in Love has a handle on its footing, and isn't going through a teen angst period, seeing as it's being tasked to let that very large, very breakable chandelier dangle from its mouth in perpetuity.
