In some cases I’ve linked to the entire Etsy shop instead of the individual listings, since some things will sell out. You’ll be sure to find other odd gifts if you click through, though, because if you find a seller with a sense of humor, they’ll be stocking more than one funny item!


Weird jewelry and accessories gifts.

hello I'm tired earrings

These “statement” earrings are good for networking meetings that you would prefer not to have to go to. You can get them from Lavender and Stardust on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.

She also has more earrings for weirdos that most people would secretly envy. Regardless, if you wear these you’ll attract the right people and repel the ones you don’t want to deal with, so it’s a win for you.


vial necklace

This vial necklace from Leah Kathryn JewelryOpens in a new tab. on Etsy can be filled up with any liquid you want, including blood, ocean water, or maple syrup.

It can also be personalized with your favorite weirdo’s initials to make it a custom gift!

poop emoji earrings

Another item from Leah’s shop is this set of poop emoji earringsOpens in a new tab.

(I don’t know what it is with the poop and toilet stuff but that’s what people sent me when I asked for gifts for weirdos…)



toilet paper jewelry

This toilet paper jewelry harkens back to a time when that was the most valuable item in all the land…But now your strange friends can sport it as an accessory.

You can find this set at Shokh Jewelry on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.

A hag stone necklace from Water Dragon Hoard UK Opens in a new tab.is good for the pagans you know, or for aspiring wiccans.

I don’t know how weird this one is since my career ambition when I was a little kid was to be a witch (I watched Bewitched reruns…It seemed like a good gig) but we’ll add it here anyway.


gothic lace necklace

This gothic lace choker from Paula McNulty DesignsOpens in a new tab. could be a gift for the same friend as the hag stone keyring, but for a more formal occasion.


raven claw necklace set

For a couple’s gift, why be boring? Get this set of sterling silver raven claw necklacesOpens in a new tab. that are great for two people.

And this one gives you the excuse of getting yourself a gift too, if you are also a weird person. And everyone is a little weird, so go for it.


pill bug shoes

Okay…These don’t seem strange at first, but if you look closely, you’ll notice that the designs are pill bugs, or roly-polys as they’re commonly called. (Polys? Polies? Not sure about that one.)

No matter how you spell it, these are weird enough to delight a bug lover but you could probably get away with wearing them without people noticing that you have insects on your shoes. You can find these at Vesoterica on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.


Weird novelty gifts.

This mug from Ag’s Vintage Cove would be a fun gift for someone to use for their morning coffee.

People don’t get the newspaper as much anymore, but this will help them remember the good times of when you would get it every morning. Yeah, I went there.


best friend window clings

These crack me up…Weird best friend window clings from Lil Fox Designs. Opens in a new tab.

These can go on your car window or on a window in your house to remind you of your special friend bond with your weird bestie.


lampwork bead

I don’t even know how to categorize this one…It’s a lampwork bead that was handmade by Anne Londez GlassOpens in a new tab..

We were trying to figure out what this is supposed to be, because it’s clearly a one-of-a-kind that will never be replicated. Anne said that it started out as a cloud, but it ended up looking like a cow’s udder. I thought it looked like dentures with terrible teeth, and someone else thought it looked like three raspberry popsicles melted together.

Whatever it is, it could be your weird friend’s new lucky bead.



dark art playing cards

This deck of cards is illustrated with original dark art from ShadowMyths on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.

This deck comes with a book that has descriptions of all of the monsters on the cards, so you can find out more about each one.


weird friends cards

This is a nice gift for a unique friend because it’s useful and also celebrates what makes you weird. You can find these at Ila and Alice on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.

gothic cats ladies

Ila and Alice also has these fancy cats postcardsOpens in a new tab., which would be a great gift for a cat loving weirdo.

(I actually have a photo with animal heads on humans and I put it in my family photo gallery in my upstairs hallway. Nobody noticed.)

halloween postcards

Or what about these Halloween postcards Opens in a new tab.for the spooky weirdo in your life?


Weird home decor.

moustache cup

Let’s start this category out with something that everyone needs…A vintage moustache cup!

This comes from Kingfisher Vintage UK on Etsy,Opens in a new tab. and there were several to choose from when I checked.


Now we have something that is genuinely weird and will only be appreciated by a special kind of person…Some vintage medical anatomy charts.

These are all from French Vintage Prints on Etsy, and if you don’t like these, check back with her shop because there are a lot more where these came from.

And this one…All I can say is “why?” Yes, it’s a chart of spolied meat. Yeah, that’s weird.


haunted house quilt

What bedroom is complete without a Halloween-themed quilt? This twin-sized haunted house quilt from The Best SeamstressOpens in a new tab. would be a fun gift for a Halloween-loving friend.


blue jay figurine

I have this weird vintage figurine in my Circus Pig Vintage shop,Opens in a new tab. but most of the stuff in there is strange, it’s just that kind of shop.

This one specifically is “unique” because the blue jay looks like he’s got a crazy eye. It will follow you around the room and it freaks people out.




NSFW- Salty language weird gifts.

Rude tequila shot set

This NSFW tequila shot set from Me Plus TheeOpens in a new tab. is clearly not something you would give to someone who’s relatively conservative (or maybe they would like it, I don’t know…) but it’s good for a present for someone who has a rowdy sense of humor.


salty friends plaque

I full approve of the sentiment on this one even though it is a teeny bit salty…I’ve told my kids that I have plans to fully haunt them when I die, so they’d better be ready.

This one came from Daisy Thirteen and is made from upcycled wood,Opens in a new tab. so it’s sustainably weird.


This would be good to put on your desk at work if you’re in a specific mood. You can find it in Me Plus Thee on Etsy.Opens in a new tab.
