1. A trio of ornaments including Dracula, a werewolf, and Frankenstein just begging for front-and-center positioning on their black Christmas tree.
I, a total weirdo, just got these for my own black Christmas tree! Check out my TikTok featuring them.
Promising review: "The colors, the shine, the detail, the size (not super small)...perfect!! I want more!!" —Linda
Get them from Amazon for $25.57.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
2. Or a Krampus Christmas ornament complete with a basket full of naughty kids. Who needs Elf of the Shelf when you can hang this at eye level on the tree? Gotta love an excuse to watch the holiday film by the same name.
Promising review: "When I realized that my kids were getting a little too entitled when it came to gift expectations, I knew some old school motivation would help. Adding Krampus to our tree decorations serves as a constant, watchful reminder that the holidays are not a 'win-win' for kids — there's an expectation and requirement to be humble and kind in exchange for the rewards they expect...and violent, rage-filled punishment in a copper pot or burlap sack if they don't meet those requirements.
Sounds like a healthy addition to any child's formative years to me, and I'm happy with my purchase!" —Bradums

3. A carbonated bubble clay mask for a funny effect that'll also help 'em clear out their pores. Maybe buy some for yourself too and schedule a Facetime?
Promising review: "Wow! I purchased this on a whim after seeing one of my favorite YouTubers try it out. I didn't expect a lot from it. I tried it out and was shocked!!! The mask was simple (and fun) to use. I wasn't sure I felt a lot happening while it was on, but it was pretty cool how the bubbles started to grow off of my face. Upon inspection after using this mask I was completely amazed. My face felt cleaner than it has in a very long time AND my pores looked amazing! I don't remember a time when I felt like my pores looked great before using this mask. I would highly recommend this mask to anyone. It's also so much cheaper than the GlamGlow ones I have been using (and didn't see near these results from)." —K. Textor
Get it from Amazon for $9.88.

4. A worst-case scenario cookbook for the person who has a bug-out bag and has been taking notes from all those soap-operatic seasons of The Walking Dead.
Promising review: "Bought this as a gift for a coworker who is obsessed with weird disasters (she's eagerly awaiting a real Sharknado) and she loves it. The tips are easy to read... her 6-year-old can understand them. Recipes she has tried are also good." —Tabi
Get it from Amazon for $19.95.

5. And some SKIN1004 Zombie Pack Face Masks will make them (briefly) look like their fave kind of horror movie monster while it goes to work tightening pores and minimizing the appearance of wrinkles.
Promising review: "This really works. I am always skeptical of products I buy online because you can't be sure who is posting reviews but I will say that this mask does what it says it will do. I will definitely purchase again." —JEaston

6. A screaming goat that'll make them say "it me" when it shrieks on their behalf.
Promising review: "I spend about 90% of my day silently screaming at the computer because, well, welcome to customer service. Since this little goat arrived, I no longer look like I am practicing for my appearance on Jerry Springer. I just push the little goat. He screams (but not in a disruptive way). I smile. I am no longer annoyed. I survived peak season because of this goat. I owe my sanity to you, screaming goat." —Gab&Amanda
Get it from Amazon for $8.56.

7. A Star Wars Light Saber chopsticks set for the pal who's already accrued every single Baby Yoda thing.
Promising review: "I purchased these for a friend's birthday present (he is a sushi waiter) and these are flippin' AMAZING. I ordered two sets by mistake, but I am totally keeping the second pair for another gift (or for myself!). These are sure to be great conversation pieces and attention-getters. Way to go!" —T. Redwood
Get two pairs from Amazon for $14.97.

8. A photo pillow custom made with their fave meme that you apparently were the 483494745757th person to send to them on IG. As a horror girlie who salivates over 1) Skeet Ulrich in Scream and 2) Flamin' Hot Cheetos, I made this pillow on my own and it's my favorite thing in my apartment.
I indeed found this meme on IG and knew it had to be mine in one physical form or another. So I created a Shutterfly pillow with it! It sits on my couch and often freaks out people I'm video chatting with because it looks like he's always staring at you. It also makes me want some Flamin' Hot Cheetos!
Get it from Shutterfly for $22.99+ (available in various sizes and photo configurations).
Shipping info: Order by Dec. 15 for economy shipping in time for Christmas. Expedited shipping options are also available.
9. A coffee mug that transforms from solid black to utter perfection.
Promising review: "So glad I purchased this. I have a running gag with some friends that Nic Cage is a national treasure, and when I saw this I had to buy it! Takes maybe 5–10 seconds to completely warm up and reveal the picture, but that doesn’t bother me." —Molly
Get it from Amazon for $17.50.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
10. Or a "coffee pot" mug for the person who, genuinely, loves the stuff so much that you hope to all that is holy that they never discover espresso.
Promising review: "I freaking LOVE this mug! It is so cute and very well made. It makes a great gift for a coffee lover. You will not regret getting this mini coffee carafe mug." —Claudia S.
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.

11. A pound of cereal marshmallows so they don't have to pick out all the marshmallows out of your shared boxes of Lucky Charms. Sigh.
Promising review: "Buying these charms was one of the best decisions of my life. The bag is twice the size of my head. The marshmallows are aesthetically pleasing and delicious. It's everything I ever wanted in a snack." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.60.
Shipping Info: Available on Amazon Prime with 1-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will arrive by Christmas (see Amazon’s full shipping information here).
12. A Silly Poopy's Hide & Seek game that, yes, is truly made for kids. But gift it to a parent who grew up on Captain Underpants for a total hit. And when the adult's old bones get tired of playing, the game can completely take over because the Silly Poopy does the hiding!
Check out a TikTok of the Silly Poopy in action.
Promising review: "Let me tell you that if you want hours of endless fun of hide and go seek without having to hide yourself, this is a must-get! When it's hidden it makes various toot noises and says stuff so the kids know if they are close. And when they find it and press the button to do and sing the Silly Poopy dance ... even you will dance and sing along!!! Doesn't need batteries and come on, it's poop? Who doesn't think poop and toot noises are funny and if they don't they are lying to themselves. A must-have for fun with your kids without barely doing any work!!" —andrea kelli gorman
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
13. A scenic wall calendar any animal lover with an appreciation for all facets of nature will adore.
Promising review: "Bought this for my brother for Christmas and he LOVES it. Only for those who don't mind a little gross humor. The landscapes in the pictures are beautiful and then there's the dog, somewhere in the picture, doing its business. Pretty funny. They also provide you with the dogs' names and a short bio. Very clever." —Nadeau
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with 2-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
14. A set of Globbles that'll be a nice get-away-from-the-computer exercise in getting out a bit of stress and frustration...especially if they're always ALWAYS balling up every form of paper to try and play basketball with the waste basket. This'll be a similar, fruitful exercise.
They're squishy and can stick to all kinds of surfaces *without* leaving behind a mess. Check out a TikTok of the Globbles in action.
Promising review: "Bought a six-pack for my neurodivergent family. We are all either ADHD or autistic. I struggle with compulsive hair pulling and bought these to help keep my hands busy. They are the perfect size, more satisfying than a stress ball, clean easily, fun to hurl at the wall or ceiling, and so far have lasted very well. I did test the durability of one and did break one when I pulled it as hard as I could —the inside looks something like shaving cream and didn’t smell or anything. But if you have a kid who is an aggressive chewer, perhaps keep an eye on them." —Amazon Customer
Get a set of six from Amazon for $10.69.
15. A six-pack of boba earrings that'll just look the CUTEST.
Promising review: "I definitely recommend you buy these. They came right on time. They look just like the picture and are in really good shape. None of them were damaged. Buy them! They are really cheap and good quality." —Xiana
Get them from Amazon for $9.98.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
16. A *mythical* meats jerky set to help settle the debate about just how tough a werewolf or chupacabra meat is. Oh, and they're keto-friendly!
Pssst, it's actually beef, buffalo, venison.
Promising review: "I got these as a Father's Day gift for my hubby and my dad and both of them absolutely loved this. It is such a unique gift even for that hard-to-buy-for person. The kids got a great kick out of it too." —Katherine Rowe
Get it from Amazon for $24.95.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
17. A desktop Wacky Waving Inflatable Tube Guy they can dance along to because it's a little weird just HOW good they are at that dance.
Promising review: "I opened the package and screamed for joy! As I placed the nine-volt battery my hands were trembling with what was going to happen next! As I turned on the wacky waving inflatable tube man I knew I had a friend for life. Someone you can really count on cheering you up when you are feeling down. He brought me such joy I started to cry with laughter and happiness." —Robert Wurstner
Get it from Amazon for $10.51.

18. A Chewbacca seatbelt cover so The Force (rather than rubs and seatbelt burns) will always be with them.
Promising review: "I love the comfort of this seatbelt cover as I have a pacemaker and this item provided comfort. I recommend this product for the cushion it provides AND it looks so clever on the seatbelt. The cover moves easily over the seatbelt as it is unhooked. Great idea for me and driving is no longer a struggle keeping the seatbelt pressure off my pacer.... an issue I've had since I was very young. For those without a pacemaker, this item is so cute on the seatbelt, a real conversation piece. Try it for yourself and you'll understand how much I like it." —tim sager

19. A mixed bag of edible bugs because you've heard them claim they'd be game for trying some bugs as a protein source. First up, the silk worm!
Promising review: "I have never had so much fun with the grandkids as I have had goofing around eating these insects with them. They are both petrified, and fascinated. Best money I ever spent." —Debra Harrington

20. Cleansing goo for the detail-oriented slime fan that'll turn out to be extremely practical!
The gel is nonsticky and lemon-scented. It's also biodegradable so when you're ready to toss it, you won't be hurting Mother Earth at all. 🌎
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. I was afraid my keyboard would be all gummed up with yellow slime! The opposite happened. The gel cleaned it as good as new. It got all those dog hairs between the keys and there's no smell lingering on the keyboard or my hands. There's no sign I even used it except a clean keyboard. It's also kind of fun to play with. Squeeze it between your fingers! LOL. My next task for it will be those dust return air vents on our heating system and my dusty window blinds. This stuff works!" —Billy

21. A couple of urinal shot glasses they'll need, OK? Even if they have a kitchen cabinet shelf full of shot glasses. These'll make the rest a total wash.
Promising review: "I gave this a white elephant gift at a party. Everyone at the party loved them and wished it was the gift they received. The shot glasses are made well and actually resemble a urinal. They are a little awkward to drink from based on the shape but that was to be expected with the novelty gift and what they are. They arrived well-packaged inside the box from the seller with bubble wrap for protection which I really appreciated." —DANGELO R BONECELLI
Get them from Amazon for $12.99.

22. A Krispy Kreme x Jelly Belly set for the person who more or less runs on sugar. Or whose sleepwalking alter ego loooooooves candy. Whatever, these'll be a solid choice for lots of folks.
Promising review: "I ordered these for a co-worker who hates chocolate but loves donuts. These were a big hit. We all tried some flavors and they were tasty. A cute gift and fun flavors. I would purchase again." —CLM
Get it from Amazon for $10.97.
Shipping info: Available on Amazon Prime with two-day shipping, non-Prime shipping options will still arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
23. A pair of reading glasses can let them look at stuff while horizontal so whoever's in the living room can never truly tell if they're asleep or not. No changing the channel from the rodeo rerun from eight years ago on the TV with the loud buzzing at 11:03 p.m. on a Tuesday. Nope. Do not even walk toward the remote. (OK these are also practical.)
Promising review: "Bought these as a humorous stocking stuffer, and my husband actually uses them! He has neck issues, and he watches tv in the recliner using them. They look hilarious, but if they help him enjoy watching TV without neck pain, it is a win win! They are much higher quality than I expected for the price. I thought they would be flimsy, but they are actually very well made. I was impressed." —Laura S

24. A gnome riding a corgi because they're all full up on cute corgi coffee mugs and enamel pins.
Promising review: "I bought this for my wife and she loves it. We have gnomes and various other pieces of yard art so I thought she would like to add it to the collection. However, she likes it so much that it has a place inside of the house. If it were to be outside it would not be too small and it would fit in size wise with our other gnomes." —flguy
Get it from Amazon for $32.99.
Shipping info: Will arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
25. A Butts in Space card game for some gaming fun.
Promising review: "Game came less than 24 hours after ordering and we've already played five games in the last 48 hours. BIG hit with the whole family and both kids (ages 7 and 16, for reference.) It reminds me a little of Unstable Unicorns, but less complex. Fun and zany and very easy for all ages to pick up in one game. Cute graphics, too. VERY happy with this one and I can tell it'll get a lot of play in our house." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
Shipping info: Will arrive by Christmas (see Amazon's full shipping information here).
26. An incredibly helpful guide to farts that'll help them get the most important answers to life's questions.
Promising review: "This was a gift I gave my 45-year-old son! Yes, they never leave the fart phase. ;) But this book is actually filled with very interesting info... lots of science written in an entertaining fashion. And the simple illustrations fit perfectly. I admit that I read it before giving it to my son. He will now be the most popular teacher on his high school campus because... hey, who else knows that sloths don't fart? LOL! If you're looking for something different for a gift, consider this. I think I'm going to order another one!" —Maryann Watkins

27. A motion-activated toilet light that I guarantee SOMEONE on your gift list will love.
It fits on any toilet bowl, and has 16 colors, five brightness levels, and a 170 degree radius.
Promising review: "At first I thought that the idea of an illuminated toilet bowl was funny. However, given the choice of an illuminated toilet bowl, turning on the light, or missing, an illuminated toilet bowl is a great idea. This unit is much better than the first I used because there are no suction cups (which never stay attached) and it use AA batteries instead of AAA, and it has a five-level dimmer for middle-of-the-night eye comfort." —William D.

28. A copy of A Bathroom Book for People Not Pooping or Peeing but Using the Bathroom as an Escape as a resource for people using the toilet as a social escape. Sometimes you just need some time to yourself. And this book acknowledges and honors that.

29. A coin bank so they can finally put their money where *A* mouth is.
Promising review: "Most meaningful and important item I have ever in my life bought. It should be valued at such a higher amount and literally everyone should own at least two. My life wasn't complete before I owned this. Now i have new meaning and purpose. Every day i wake up and stare at it for at least 45 minutes to remind myself why I do what I do. Buy this. Now." —Forrest Dykes

30. A "Satan's Blood" hot sauce folks who'd THRIVE on the show Hot Ones (or at least say so) will adore.
Promising review: "This hot sauce is not for the faint of heart. One whiff sent my nostrils all in a tingle and my eyes teared up. I may just have made a pact with the devil 😈 Love the cool looking bottle too!" —Bm

31. A tortilla blanket that'll make them feel cozy on the outside like a burrito makes them feel cozy on the inside.
Promising review: "What a great blanket. I bought it as a gift for my adult nephew, and he loved it. It’s big (I ordered the 71" one), it’s very soft and lightweight, and it actually looks like a real tortilla, even has 'burn marks' (I ordered style G). For gifting, I rolled it up like a burrito and wrapped it in aluminum foil — like a real burrito. Even the dog got excited, licking his lips, thinking it was a burrito." —Natalie A.

32. An estate-planning journal in case they have a morbid fascination with death. (Also, someone feel free to buy me this.)
This is not a legal will but it is designed to help you get organized so you can make one and it helps to spell out everything that your loved ones might wonder in the event of your...you know.
Promising review: "Don’t let the title throw you (you can order the same material with a 'softer' title if you want, but why?), this book allows you to enter the information that your loved ones will need when you’re gone...and save them so much trouble at a time when they have enough grief to deal with. As an estate planning attorney, I recommend these books to ALL my clients. And remind them to keep the info up to date...to save the ones you love time, anguish, and money." —PJ

33. And a coffee table book about cemeteries so they can perhaps find some inspiration IRL for their future resting place. Or just pay their respects. Cemeteries *and* graveyards are great! Do not dare confuse the two in my presence.
Promising review: "I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad. As a big history buff, he loves wondering around old cemeteries so I thought this would be perfect for him! He loved it! He told me he was really enjoying it. I’m glad I found this because it really was the perfect gift for my Dad!" —K.

My wife caught me reading it naked. Uh oh?" —John

35. And a bag of some "reindeer farts" that'll send anyone into a fit of giggles, regardless of age.
Promising review: "I won't lie, the whole reason I purchased this is because I knew that my kids would laugh at the name. However, I was really happy with how yummy the actual cotton candy in the bag was! The candy was fresh, and well packaged, and the product name got the laughs expected. Overall, I would say it's a bit expensive for what you get (though it was easily enough for me and two children to share), but would still recommend as a cute/silly gift for someone who would get a kick out of this type of thing." —Deb
