A full mini putting green, cup with flag, two balls, and a putter — all sized to unroll next to the toilet for a quick nine while you're, well, otherwise occupied. Comes with a "Do Not Disturb — Golf In Progress" door hanger so the household knows not to interrupt your back nine.
A lifelike resin hen, moulded feather by feather, positioned mid-lay — and the egg emerging from her is the actual light bulb. USB powered, warm glow, and completely straight-faced about what it is doing on your side table. Genuinely good ambient lighting and permanently funny, which is a combination almost nothing else manages.
This 6.25" hard vinyl ear of corn has been training its whole life for this moment — press the button and it belts out one of five dramatic operatic vocalizations, bold, brassy, and unapologetically theatrical. Three LR44 batteries included, so it's curtain-call ready out of the box.
A tiny wooden picnic table, complete with its own umbrella and two benches, built so backyard squirrels can dine like tiny gentlemen. Load the corn cob holder, mount it to a tree or fence, and enjoy the most wholesome wildlife content your yard has ever produced.
Fifteen latex-free adhesive bandages cut and printed to look like little strips of bacon, packed in a collectible metal tin with a free prize inside. Because if you're going to bleed, you might as well accessorize with breakfast meat.
A soft silicone duck lying face-down in an attitude of complete surrender, glowing warmly from within. Tap the top to cycle three brightness levels, set the 30-minute sleep timer, and let it run about six hours on a charge. Marketed for nurseries, adopted overwhelmingly by exhausted adults who saw themselves in it.
A cast resin tentacle in aged bronze, hand-painted and polished, curling off a mounting plate as a fully working pull handle. Around 20cm long and solid enough for daily use on a cupboard, study or bathroom door. One of very few novelty objects that stops being decor and becomes part of the building.
A 6-foot indoor string of ten warm-white LEDs, each bulb a green pickle. Runs on two AA batteries, which are not included. New for the season at Archie McPhee, and the Christmas version of a joke the catalog already tells with yodeling pickles.
A toilet-paper spindle that plays a recording you make when the roll turns. Vat19 lists it among current bestsellers at $19.99. The recording is the gift. The holder is how it gets triggered.
