We all have that one friend or family member who literally has everything. They’ve got the latest gadgets, countless coffee mugs, and more socks than anyone should own. So, what do you buy for someone who doesn’t need anything? The answer: something unexpected.
At Not So Essential Site, we specialize in the weird, the wonderful, and the “Why does this even exist?” kind of gifts. Whether you’re hunting for a birthday laugh, a white elephant showstopper, or a spontaneous surprise, our oddball collection has you covered.
Why Give a Gift That’s Not So Essential?
Gifts don’t always have to be practical. Sometimes, the best presents are the ones that make people laugh, scratch their heads, or say, “What the heck is this?” Here’s why giving a quirky gift is genius:
- It stands out – They won’t forget this one.
- It sparks curiosity – Conversations guaranteed.
- It shows you care (in your weird way)
Now, let’s dive into some hilariously brilliant ideas.
1. Bread-Shaped Slippers
Because toast belongs on feet too.
Warm, fuzzy, and carbs, you can wear these slippers are the perfect combo of cozy and comical.

2. A Plant That Complains When You Don’t Water It
Great for plant lovers and commitment-phobes alike.
These interactive houseplants give your forgetful friend the sass they deserve.

3. A Selfie Toaster
Yes, it burns your face into a slice of bread.
Just upload a photo, and boom breakfast with your mug on it. Deliciously narcissistic.

4. Emergency Underpants in a Tin
For the “just in case” kind of person.
It’s weird. It’s random. It’s probably never going to be used. But it’s a story waiting to happen.

5. Screaming Llama Stress Toy
Squeeze it and it screams. That’s it.
Perfect for office tension, or those who just enjoy chaos.

6. Coffee Mug That Says “World’s Okayest Friend”
Too honest? Maybe. Too funny? Definitely.
Because who wants to be “the best” anyway?

7. Poop Emoji Soap
Smells better than it looks (thankfully).
Bathroom humor never gets old, especially when it’s gift-wrapped.

8. Decision-Making Paperweight
Can’t decide what to eat? Let a novelty desk toy choose.
Spin it. Accept it. Move on. It’s the future of indecisiveness.

9. Inflatable Unicorn Horn for Cats
For the pet parent who wants to humiliate their feline (with love).
Your cat may hate it, but Instagram will love it.
