Anyone receiving these unconventional items will be happy to know that each pick reflects a very distinct point of view.

From a shockingly realistic bread-shaped candle to a phone-sanitizing device, browse these remarkably niche gifts that may very well bring conversation (and satisfaction) for several holiday seasons to come.
