These three completely useless but useable gifts can be given with the intention of making someone giggle and then the shock that they can actually be useful.

Nobody Really Needs Knee Warmers Do They?
Looking at these funny items, my first thought was; not something I need ... but with my bum knees something I could throw on from time to time for a little added support and warmth.
Another thought that ran through my head, if I ever washed the floors on my knees again (highly doubtful) I could put these on for comfort.
How about creating a new fashion trend - well teenagers maybe. For added warmth, they could put them over leggings.
Figure skaters would be the best candidates for these. Having spent over 10 years in this sport in my youth, I can safely say that falling is a part of learning ... especially when you're learning jumps. Learning jumps normally involves a harness, but not usually outside a lesson with your coach. Give these as a funky knee covering for the figure skater in the family. Who knows, you may encourage a new trend in the Skating Club. Anything's possible; I think I invented the skating skirt?
How About a Brain Hat? What?
 |
Is there a genius in the family? Get a big laugh from the person who opens this wacky gift.
If you know how to knit, DIY this puppy. If not, get a few as freaky odd ball gifts for the out-standing people in your life.
We all have weird superstitions: This hat could become their needed 'Thinking Cap' to inspire new ideas. When creativity is required, they may pull on the hat and believe in it's powers. After-all, we're only limited by our thinking. Everybody in the family may want one. Better yet, wear them skiing.
Use them for Halloween. Mom and dad would look very confident trotting around with their brains on their head whilst the kids trick-or-treat.
Of course, a brain hat is just what the doctored ordered for the little-Miss-or-Mr-Know-it-All in the family. Better yet, collect a few for the Secret Santa draw.

Need? Nope. No needing these. But they sure area a funky way to light up a room. Imagine collecting a set of these and having a party where everyone is served a lighted drink. The ambience would be magnificent.
Use them for weddings, birthdays, Halloween parties, Christmas and especially New Years. Begin a collection for someone; keep adding to it - After-all, funk makes the world go 'round.
Imagine movie night at home with these cool glasses ... All the lights out except for people's drinking glasses.
How about an original teacher gift? There's no way Teacher is going to be buying herself/himself one of these, and you're sure to be the only one to show up with it.
Well there you have it, three affordable things nobody needs but somebody wants.

Oh that brain hat would be perfect for my zombie loving brother!
ReplyDeletegreat idea for zombie fanatics lol
DeleteI actually like the knee warmers. Reminds me of the leg warmers I used to wear all the time in winter up north. Haven't needed them since I moved to the South. :) Clever ideas, Barbara
ReplyDeletePat, I think I would wear those knee warmers too
DeleteWhat fun gifts! The knee warmers or the brain hat might well come in handy for the winter weather and I love the idea of lighted glasses for movie night.
ReplyDeleteCynthia, lmao - imagine all three - wearing the knee warmers with the pink brain hat, while sipping from a lighted led glass
DeleteLOL Oh my goodness those are awful gifts.
ReplyDeleteSusan, lmao! That brain hat in pink may qualify as the worst, but the best for something different
DeleteFun ideas!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mary Beth
DeleteLove the brain hat, but am leaning towards the knee warmers....I have those bum knees too and while they aren't high on my fashion statement side, they just might do the trick to keeping my knees from freezing up......
ReplyDeleteThose LED glasses are interesting. We got an LED beer mug in a case of beer a few months back and there's even an app that you can use to trigger it to light up when your sports team scores or some other predetermined thing happens. Could be fun for parties :)
