We live in a world where many of us are flush with a large number of clever things for the home. So, when seeking thoughtful gifts that people actually want (or things you actually want, for that matter), what is an intrepid shopper to do? Fear not, brave seekers. For, we also live in a world with a nearly endless array of unique and life-enhancing gadgets, doodads, and gizmos. The trick is to go clever-er. Regular cleverness can see its way out now, please.

I have traversed the deepest recesses of the Amazon-ian wilderness to come up with a list of items that are useful, unusual, downright transformative, and adorable (and possibly all of these simultaneously). They’re sure to be welcome additions that enhance the lives of those who receive them. Meaning, they’ll go over well.

There’s a much-loved, full-size body pillow (at a smashing price) for anyone who loves building the snuggliest nest your side of the Mississippi. There’s a non-tipping can cooler for when cold beverages may need safety, and temperature control, outside the home. There’s a Bigfoot-shaped multitool that just might help you snag that sasquatch (actually, if you’re that close you should run).

But, whether the person you’re trying to bowl over with your gift-giving prowess is into nature, self-care, working from home, cocktails, or s’mores, there’s something fun and enjoyable for them below the fold. And, again, if that person is yourself, please scroll on — because you deserve to enjoy neat new toys that bowl you over, too.
