I love clever and funny trinkets, doo-dads, thingers and all other useless wastes of money that you find, say, around the checkout counter in Z Gallerie. You know what I'm talking about right? Like the "Safe Baby Handling Tips" on the right. Those purpose-less gag gifts make my day so when I find some that make me laugh out loud AND can actually be used in the house or the office I am double pumped about them. Here's some that I found that I think are hilarious...and some could be especially good ideas for Mother's Day (if the mom in question has a sense of humor of course!):

Kids Art Magnet Inner Voice
Product Description: We all have voices running through our heads commenting on things we dare not say out loud, like how brilliant our infant's hand prints are. Why not attribute these thoughts to your little artistic genius?

I'm As Big As.... Growth Chart
Product Description: I'M AS BIG AS... The yeti? A giant panda sitting down? An average supermodel? The longest recorded moustache? A blue whale's heart? This 6.5 feet high wall mounted height chart has been beautifully researched, designed and produced. Reaches the parts other height charts can't reach!

You know those moments when you and your co-workers are saying "No, what do YOU feel like eating today? I dunno, what do YOU feel like?"? It's the most annoying thing ever. Okay, I exaggerate, but still. This takes the wasted time and guess work out of it (and guilt if you happen to be the only one who does not particularly like Mexican food). Plus, it even helps when you're lunchin' it alone and you can't decide for yourself!

What's For Lunch Decision Maker
Description: It's lunch break again and your body is screaming for caffeine, but your stomach insists on some sort of sustenance. Fortunately, you have this handy 8 1/2" spinner device to consult. Just flick the plastic spinner and it will point you towards one of sixteen different lunch options including "3 Martinis", "Teriyaki", and "Vending Machine". Features a stand and hanger so you can prop it on your desk or hang it in your cube.

Hmm... seems like I'm a bit of a fan of http://www.perpetualkid.com/ uh? Well I'm just a fan of everything funny...wait, did I really just say that? What, like there's a group of people who are fans of everything UN-funny? Oh wait, those are called Democrats.
