Could be a gift for a friend or family member, or maybe you’re just in the mood for something a bit…different.
No need to spend your valuable time scouring the aisles of out-of-the-way novelty stores, or diligently searching the internet until your carpal tunnel kicks into overdrive, we’ve done the legwork for you.
Here are a few of the best unusual things you can buy:
Before you continue reading about the Best of … unusual things to buy there is a special announcement we would like to share with you. Catalogs.com has negotiated special medicare rates for our vibrant community of seniors. If you are over the age of 60, you can head over to our Seniors Health Section which is full of information about medicare. All you need is your zip code and a few minutes of your time to potentially save 100s of dollars on your medicare bills.
Stained Glass
One of a kind art glass
There is certainly a place for perfectly symmetrical designs, be it jewelry, vases or dishware. Thankfully, there is also a place for the unusual look and feel you can only get with blown glass. Sometimes the best inspiration for what to buy is to look at what other people are collecting and what they have created. Like at the gallery on Delphi. Study and then go find something hand blown, unique and unusual. And, if you’d rather learn the Zen-like way of the glass artisan, there is plenty of help to be found here too.
KlockIt
Go back in time
In keeping with the artisan theme, who doesn’t love the classic design of a beautiful grandfather clock? These add a charm and sophistication to a home’s entry hall like nothing else can. What makes this purchase from KlockIt unusual is this Columbia Grandfather clock, a part of The Cooper Collection, can be customized to individual tastes; and here’s the best part, it’s a kit that requires the patience and meticulous hands of a builder. The model airplane or shipbuilding aficionado will love this.
PoolDawg
Keeping in theme
Homeowners fortunate enough to have billiard rooms may not have realized the absolute necessity of owning this unusual item; until now. It’s not hard to envision PoolDawgs’ game room accessories displayed next to a myriad of neon signs, pool cues and a requisite jukebox machine.
Pet Stores
Zen color for your dog
Many pet stores provide naturopathic-like options to help calm and modify the behavior of your best friend. The Nature Calm 24/7 dog collar exudes a pheromone similar to Mom’s when they were pups, infusing a natural, calming effect. While the concept isn’t unusual in and of itself, it’s been used room by room for some time; the use of pheromones on a collar is pure doggy genius.
Rock-It Creations
Talking rocks
How cool would it be, when you’re slaving away in your yard or garden this spring and summer, to have strategically placed, personally engraved stones to keep you motivated? Rock-It Creations does just that, for any number of occasions. Even if these customized stones don’t motivate you, maybe they’ll help get those darn plants growing!
