6. Yak testicles in a gift box
The next time you are at a loss as to what to get for [insert name of hard-to-shop-for person here], just remember – there's always the yak testicles option. And, for your convenience, they come nicely packaged in a lush gift box, one that I am sure could easily act as a display box as well. Now, I realize that eating the testicles of an animal is not unusual at all in certain parts of the world – in China they are usually touted as a "manly" food that will help cure any, um, problems, a man may be having in the bedroom. But this is certainly the first time I have seen them packaged so darn prettily. I am still trying to figure out the sort of person for whom this gift would be appropriate – perhaps something a wife could give to her husband
This faeces-shaped plush toy, complete with idiotic smile, would be the perfect present for… someone with a fetish? A girlfriend who draws no lines when it comes to her doll collecting addiction? A child who is in that stage where everything related to bodily functions is hilarious? I'm actually not really sure who would benefit most from this gift – all I know is that the translated description of it online makes it worth every penny. I mean, who wouldn't want a "drooling poo doll stool faeces plush doll toy"?
