Novelty Gifts For Her
Choosing the right gift for her is not as difficult as it seems. These popular and unique novelty gifts are ideal presents for your girlfriend or wife. Choose a couple of cheaper gifts to make a gift pack or in addition to another gift or go for something a bit more luxurious to really make her feel special. These are my recommendations for novelty gifts for her.
What a sweet gift which you and your man can share. Tasty and fun!
Wondering what the Momiji Doll is? Yeah, me too! Apparently they are very popular and a bit of fun for young girls and the young at heart. Who'd have thought?
Soft, squishy yet super comfortable. A great novelty gift for her and one of my favourites. I've got one of the travel Cushtie's which never leaves my side, well, almost never.
Now where getting to the serious gifts. A stone therapy pack. That's what every girl needs. Don't forget if you get this for your girlfriend or wife then you'd better learn how to use it or she might not appreciate as much as she could. The gift pack includes:
- Natural tumbled river pebbles
- Stress release massage oil
- White cotton waffle cosmetic hair band
- Frosted glass relaxing fragranced candle urn
Back to the fun gifts (not that a massage can't be fun). Yes, it's true. All us girls love Sex and The City. I still watch the repeats and enjoy it as much as the first time round. The Sex and the City trivia game is a bit fun for the girls on a girls night out (when staying in).
These would have to be the best slippers in the world. Heat them in the microwave and keep your tootsies warm all winter long. Kind of ugly but does it matter when lounging around the house?
Another gift to keep the girls relaxed and happy. Why do girls love this kind of thing so much? We just love to be pampered and this kind of beauty pack will never end up sitting in the back of the cupboard gathering dust. This gift pack contains:
- Water Lily and Almond Body Polish - Gently cleanses, exfoliates & polishes the skin to a sexy sheen. A foaming scrub with crushed almond kernels, almond oil and water lily extract suspended in a moisturising gel. Effectively removes dead dry cells and stimulates circulation, to reveal fresher more radiant skin.
- Body Butter - Guys take note: everyone loves body butter. A decadent body butter loaded with moisturisers and emollients, including hydrating water lily extract and almond oil, to renew skin texture and lock in moisture, Nourishing for hungry skin and perfumed with a heady aphrodisiac water lily fragrance.
- Bathing Drench - Liquid relaxation to rejuvenate body and mind. A sumptuous bathing drench with extracts of succulent water lily to re-hydrate thirsty skin and almond oil to cleanse and soften.
- Geisha Exfoliating Towel
- Filled glass urn scented candles - Relax with a seductive fragrance.
I want one, I want one. Husband take note. I adore these bags. I must admit I have a think for casual bags like this one. I especially like the Roma courier bag although the Tokyo bag is quite tempting too. Designs include:
- London
- Amsterdam
- Havana
- NYC
- Rio
- Bronx
- Tokyo
- Roma
Everyone will fight over this hammock so you might want to get two. Hammocks are so comfortable and this fold up one can be taken anywhere; to the beach, the park, or just use in the backyard. Great for reading or an afternoon nap.
Now you've got a problem. Do you get the hammock or this sun lounge? If price is a factor you'd obviously go for the hammock but if you're looking for style then the Rodeo Garden Bed wins hands down. This garden gadget won't disappoint. It's made of water resistant materials and won't rust so it's a quality piece that will last.
Bean bags are great. They're so comfortable and are perfect watching tv, reading, or sleeping. It seems like a lot of the novelty gifts for her have a theme. Women want to relax, be pampered, and have fun. If you prefer a different kind of bean bag to this one, check out the bean bag at the bottom of that page.

Novelty Gifts For Him
Some men are easy to buy for, so long as you know which football team they support or if you know they love to play with gadgets. From my experience, men love football, gadgets, and novelty items. So if you are looking for a unique novelty gift for him then here are my recommendations.
This Football Trivia Game is a great novelty gift for the football lover. He can play with his mates over a couple (or few) beers at home or at the local pub. It comes with 300 questions on 50 cards, playing pieces, and a handy fold away board. You can even get into teams and group your knowledge when holding your very own quiz night.
Modern, stylish, functional, and under �10. What more do you want from a novelty gift. I love this so much that I'm going to get it for myself. It's similar to a Swiss Army Knife but smaller and cheaper. It has everything you need for a picnic in the park or when you're out and about an in need of a few tools. The mini jewellery screwdriver is especially handy to fix sunglasses, which I seem to need on a regular basis. The key includes:
- Serrated knife
- Flat knife
- Phillips screwdriver
- Flat head screwdriver
- Mini screwdriver
- Bottle opener
Yes, it's true. The Fisher Space Pen was created to be used in space. It can write over fingerprints, under water, upside down, on wet paper, in freezing cold (-30degreesF), extreme heat (+250degreesF) as well as in zero gravity, if you happen to be in zero gravity. Available in 5 finishes, it is a fun novelty gift for him which he can use to show off in front of his friends. Finishes include:
- Brushed chrome
- Shiny chrome
- Black and chrome
- Matte black
- Gold plated
This unusual gift is made from duct tape. Who would have thought such a cool looking wallet would be made of that? Definitely for someone who likes to be different.
The Prophopot is a teat ended bedside storage vessel for condoms. Yep, a storage container for you condoms. Get this for your man and he'll always know where his condoms are. How could he forget where he put them with this bright reminder next to the bed.
This is a gift which you could share with your man. Admire the stars or your neighbours!
Smart Trainer Heart Rate Monitor
If the guy you are shopping for is into fitness or you want to encourage him to get fit, then he would surely appreciate this gadget. It is ideal for those who go to the gym or play sport. The Smart Trainer heart rate monitor includes the following features:
- Average heart rate reading.
- Measures calories burned.
- Automatic or manually programmable hi/lo heart rate training zone.
- Automatic or manually programmable hi/lo heart rate alert when out of training zone.
- Wireless chest band.
- Clock with alarm and calendar.
- Stopwatch with count up timer.
- Hi Glo backlight.
- Water resistant to 30 metres.
This unique watch for men shows the time in binary code. It uses LED lights to indicate hours and minutes. LED ON means 1. LED OFF means 0. First row denotes the hours and second row indicates the minutes. Translation of time from binary to decimal is easy. Add the numbers of lit LEDs on upper row to tell hours. Add the numbers of lit LEDs on lower row to tell minutes. Another cool novelty gift for the guy who likes to show off with something unique and unusual. This gift is definitely unique and unusual.
I adore bean bags and the bigger the better as far as I'm concerned. I have one in my apartment and my husband and I are constantly fighting over who gets to sit on it. I really should buy another one and put an end to the bickering. This quality bean bag is hand made in the UK using natural suede. Available in chocolate and beige. Personally, I'd go for the chocolate one.
Who doesn't love a barbeque on a hot summer's day? Oh, wait, I forgot I'm not in Australia anymore and am stuck with the English weather! Luckily it works in all weather conditions, well maybe not in a storm or when it's snowing, but you could always get the umbrella out and cook up a tasty meal in the middle of winter and pretend it's hot. This is one of the best bbq's I've seen around and very reasonably priced. It's currently on special so now's the time to buy.
The Super Pen hand held scanner and translator is a great product that has some fantastic features. It's great for travellers and students and not to mention geek gadget lovers! Just scan the text you are interested in and then do whatever you like with the text. Translate it. Store it. Transfer it.
The Space Master is kind of in between binoculars and a telescope. It is used by everyone from naturalists to those who enjoy the beauty of landscapes and is perfect for viewing animals, bird watching, train spotting, and more! While this spotter is a lot of fun it is a quality piece which is the ideal gift for the serious spotter.
Modelled on the slick American pool tables, the Prestige Pool Table is superior to many of its competitors. It is full sized with adjustable feet to suit any floor. All accessories such as cues, balls, triangle and chalk are included. Great for the retro man looking for fun.
