The 10 stupidest Christmas gifts...
Posted Date: 12/12/2011

Shameless self-promotion it may be, but Stupid.com’s fifth annual list of the 10 most wacky and insane gifts should bring a smile to retailers already weary from the onset of the annual silly season...

This year’s pearlers include self-stirring coffee mugs, 'pooping reindeer' sweaters and giant Christmas tree hats...

“The gifts occupying this year’s list may be too stupid for the one per cent”, says Stupid.com’s VP Justin Scott. “But we’re confident the gags we’ve selected for this year’s list are sure to make the 99 per cent laugh out loud.”

Here is the Top 10 for 2011:

Giant Christmas Tree Hat – Why buy a tree when you can wear a tree? This festive hat lights up and is guaranteed to get you noticed on the holiday party circuit. $12.95

Bacon Candy Canes – Peppermint is out, and pork is in! These treats look like traditional candy canes, but they taste like bacon. Bacon! $6.49



Remote Control Air Swimming Shark – Just when you thought it was safe to get out of the water! Make your wildest nightmares come to life as this gigantic inflatable balloon Jaws swims through the air. $37.95



Obama’s Last Day Countdown Clock – Not an Obama fan? Then look on the bright side, with this GOP-friendly timer, which counts down the days until the next Inauguration Day. Tick, Tock, Barak! $9.95



Dashboard Pole Dancer – This flirty, bikini-clad truly plastic 'beauty' swings and spins on her pole as your drive – watch out for potholes! Or don’t.



Self-Stirring Mug – The perfect present for the lazy lot: Simply press a button and this electronic mug does the stirring for you. $13.49



Pooping Reindeer Sweater – Want to win that ‘Ugly Christmas Sweater Contest’? Then deck yourself in this funny red sweatshirt, which features artful silhouettes of reindeers answering the call of nature. $27.95 (reminds one of Colin Firth's character's Christmas sweater in Bridget Jones' Diary - ed) 



Peeing Santa Liquor Dispenser – Who needs to get drunk to have giggle fits? This obscene Old St. Nick doesn’t dick around as he pours the drinks via a special spigot. A gift you can be cocksure boozy buddies will love. $14.49



2012 Doomsday Calendar – Zombie Attack? Universal Internet Failure? The Apocalypse? The predictions just keep rolling in, and this calendar will make sure you know when the world will end. Just think: It’s the last calendar you’ll ever need! $12.95



Happy's Vibrating Head Massager - Sure, it might give a nice, calming head scratch. But who can relax knowing that you're holding a giant purple vibrator with spider-prongs on top of your head?



Stupid.com has been "spreading laughs – one gift at a time" – since it debuted in online retailing in 1998. From gag gifts, to stocking stuffers, the company offers more than 2000 products and 100 categories of “crazy and insane gifts”.
