50 Weird Christmas Gifts Almost As Bizarre As The Year 2020

It’s safe to say that this year’s Christmas is going to be the weirdest one in memory.

Pandemics have a way of doing that.

Yep, 2020 has been a strange year, one full of twists and turns. It’s a year so bizarre that the holiday gifts should be just as strange.

Many of us are unable to go home for the holidays, so we have to send gifts that convey our heartfelt wishes to friends, family and loved ones.

If it’s the thought that counts, let these wacky holiday gifts say without hesitation: “I think you’re weird.” In a good way, of course!

Elf Costume For Bearded Dragon

It's an age-old story: The family is enjoying the holidays all decked in holiday gear while the beloved bearded dragon gets left out in the cold. That travesty ends now, thanks to this <a href="https://www.petsmart.com/reptile/habitats-and-decor/habitat-accessories/merry-and-brightandtrade-elf-bearded-dragon-costume-61222.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">elf costume</a> perfectly designed for the celebration-loving reptile in your life.

Santa Pick Me Up

Dressing up as Santa is a tradition for many people, but this costume allows you to be <a href="https://www.halloweencostumes.com/kids-santa-pick-me-up-costume.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Santa as well as somebody who has to deal with him awkwardly invading your personal space.</a> Progress!

Corgi Butt Bottle Opener

Who was it who said, "Beer just tastes better when the bottle is opened using <a href="https://www.houzz.com/products/corgi-dog-butt-bottle-opener-wall-mounted-painted-resin-steel-opener-7-prvw-vr~137341953" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an opener that looks like the butt of a corgi?"</a><br />No one? Figures.

Cocaine Bear Christmas Ornament

Back In 1985, a black bear found and ate $15 million worth of cocaine in Kentucky. Now, this so-called cocaine bear can be remembered every holiday season. <a href="https://kyforky.com/collections/new-gear/products/cocaine-bear-christmas-ornament" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">This ornament, </a>true to its name, shows a bear looking very, very high.

Pooping flamingos are the reason for the season."

F**k You COVID-19 Sucker (In Strawberry)

Although candy is a routine part of the holidays, <a href="https://www.pinkcherry.com/products/f-ck-you-covid-19-sucker" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">an anti-COVID-19 sucker showing the middle finger</a> might ordinarily seem a little out of place. Maybe, but not in 2020.

Grumpy Octopus

Stuffed animals are usually happy. But this is 2020 -- the rules have changed. That means snuggling with a <a href="https://thegrumpyoctopus.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">grumpy octopus</a> instead of a teddy bear.

Stuffed Plague Doctor

Teddy bears are OK, but sometimes you just want snuggle with a <a href="https://www.squishable.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&amp;Product_Code=mini_plague_doctor_7" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">plague doctor,</a> right? (Please don't tell me I'm wrong.)

Neckline Groomer

Shaving the back of one's neck with a razor is not recommended. But the <a href="https://lvlshaveco.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">neckline groomer</a> attempts to make it easier with a strap that attaches three safety blades to it. Truly cutting edge.

<a href="https://beardhead.com/products/santa-beard-head?variant=17977177091" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">A Santa hat and fake beard</a> are good things to have this time of year. But typically, those products aren't made for warmth. This version will keep your face warm all winter long, even after your loved ones tell you "Christmas is over."

Pajamaralls

Ugly holiday sweaters had their day, but there are other kinds of equally ugly festive apparel. I give you ... <a href="https://www.shinesty.com/products/the-caribou-lous-mens-christmas-pajamaralls" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">the pajamarall.</a>
