Every family has a lovable oddball or two, and they can be notoriously difficult to buy gifts for during the holidays. Is yours a throwback who scoffs at mass-produced mall goods? Or an urbanite with eccentric tastes and a tree-hugging streak? Whatever the case, get out of that Sharper Image massage chair and achieve maximum impact with this year's gift. Most of these items sacrifice neither function nor form, and they supply the gift-giver with a fun back story to tell during the unwrapping.
