Edible Insects
Edible insects can make an unforgettable gift item. Whether the recipient loves them or hates them, it would be almost impossible to remain indifferent. Choices for edible insect gifts include tamer options like chocolate-covered ants and spiced worms, crickets or grubs to more outrageous selections like chocolate-covered scorpions and oven-baked tarantulas.
Worry Dolls
Worry dolls, also known as trouble dolls, are supposed to magically take away your worries or troubles. Traditionally manufactured by Guatemalan artisans, worry dolls are a special type of tiny dolls that wear brightly colored clothes; some are sold in pouches or small boxes.
If you have trouble sleeping because of excessive worrying, you are to tell each worry you have to a worry doll and then place them all under your pillow. While you sleep, the worry dolls are to have worried in your place, and when you awaken, all your worries are supposed to have gone away.
Worry dolls are primarily used by children, but many adults enjoy them as a novelty.
Lucky Cat
Formally called a maneki neko in Japanese, the item is widely known as a beckoning or lucky cat. Of Japanese origin, although they are now frequently manufactured in China, a lucky cat is a type of small statue that is supposed to promote prosperity, especially among business owners. The statue has one raised paw in a beckoning motion --- to beckon customers to spend money at a particular business or to beckon prosperity to a home.
Gas Mask
A gas mask is typically worn over the eyes, nose and mouth and protects the wearer from breathing toxic gases. Vintage gas masks can be quite cool-looking, and lovers of retro things or military enthusiasts might enjoy receiving a good vintage gas mask as a decorative item. Vintage gas masks should never be put on or put within the reach of kids because many vintage masks contain harmful materials such as asbestos or have degraded filters containing toxic materials. On the other hand, a modern gas mask can be purchased from a military supply store and can be worn as part of a costume or in case of a chemical attack.
