The Gift of Hope offers the recipient exactly what it says, hope. The empty box will certainly give them hope that the next gift you give them will be something useful. The box also offers those that are extremely gullible the chance to find the key to happiness that is in one out of every thousand boxes. Check out this product that may be one of the few that offers even less.

A close relative of the unzipped glass ziploc bag, this porcelain cardboard box will give you the look of used box, but one that lasts much longer. For the ultimate in realism it includes staples and a strip of tape. A great Christmas gift to confuse the recipient as long as you are sure to pack it in a cardboard gift box.

Flowers are useful things to have around, to get you out of the doghouse with the wife/girlfriend if nothing else. But beyond looking and smelling pretty, those are pretty useless. With its ability to open a bottle of wine, the Tulip Corkscrew is immensely useful. Plus, with its included flower pot you can leave it out like any other decorative plant you may have. The four leaves of this corkscrew make it useful for both righties and lefties.
