Anything short of the best gift in the world ends up forgotten at some point. Rather than add to that list, here are some odd gifts that will definitely leave a lasting impression:

It’s Jesus’ Birthday and Santa is Bringing the Beer
Please do me a favor and do not give this to the highly religious practical joker in your life, it might not go as well as you’d like.
Even though this is just a card, it definitely offers a laugh or two when read. This is a great option …
