Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) Collapsible Dolly
The Dozop Collapsible Dolly makes moves both big and small much easier. It’s lightweight (under five pounds) and easy to assemble (takes around a minute) without needing any tools to put it together. The dolly can handle up to 250 pounds of what you need to move and inline skate wheels boost maneuverability over carpet and uneven surfaces. Parts are stored inside the self-contained design to compactly stow away between jobs.
2) 2-in-1 Toilet Plunger & Brush
A toilet plunger that’s sleek, streamlined, and keeps your pipes happy. The combination plunger and bowl cleaner makes unclogging an easier endeavor with less splashback. Just push or pull it to clear out clogs. The one-handed design stores in an included no-touch caddy, too.
3) Puzzle Roll-Up Mat Kit

Inflate the removable, built-in neck pillow for a comfortable ride. You can stash items in the pillow’s pocket, too.
5) Giant Cookie
These giant fortune cookies are fresh baked from natural ingredients, then hand-formed and dipped in chocolate. Add your own personlized fortune or be surprised with a general good fortune message.
