Top 5 Unusual Gifts
1) 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.
2) Japanese Welcome Fish Soap
Japanese soap shaped like a supersized fish makes for a meaningful (and eye-catching) gift. The red snapper symbolizes good fortune and luck in Japanese culture and this sweet-smelling one is made with a traditional wooden mold by one of Japan’s oldest soap makers. Give one as a unique token of thanks or good luck, or hang one up in your own shower.
3) Driftwood Phone and Tablet Dock
