The Ten: Obscure (and Weird) Holiday Gifts

It’s time for the holidays, and that means getting gifts for those in your life you love. But let’s face it, not everybody in your life is, how should we say, normal. So what do you pick up for weird Uncle Karl or that awkward friend that you hangout with for whatever reason? Don’t worry, we have you covered.

Here’s Project-Nerd’s The Ten Obscure (and Weird) Gifts for the Holidays.


Paul Phoenix Car Decal

The Ten Obscure Tekken Decal

I don’t know about you, but when I first started playing Tekken –in the arcade—I always chose Paul Phoenix. I mean, he was a biker and his huge flat top thing just made him look cool, not to mention his move-set was fairly simple and he had great power. Only $3.89 on Amazon, plus they have some Jin Kazama ones too… if you’re lame!

BUY THE DECAL


Clone High: Complete 1st Season

The Ten Obscure Clone High

This show was awesome, plain and simple. It ran on MTV until that poisonous doppelganger of mine Ashton Kutcher was gifted the animated comedy’s spot on Monday nights with Punk’d. Blehck. You can find the 13 episode season on Amazon for between 20 and 30 bucks. Steal as I bought a pirated copy on eBay for like 50 dollars in 2004!

BUY CLONE HIGH


12 pack of Surge

The Ten Obscure Surge Soda

Surge is wonderful, everyone knows it. Get a 12 pack if the prices go back down! Or, you know, if you’re rich. They were at under 20 dollars, but now all you can find is the $70+ scams.

BUY SURGE


Red Card Soccer PS2

The Ten Obscure Red Card 2003

Did you ever wish there was a soccer game in the style of NFL Blitz? Well there was and it was made by Midway as well! It’s well worth the $25 price tag on Amazon.

BUY THE GAME


Samurai Jack Shirts

The Ten Obscure Samurai Jack Sweatshirt

It’s getting cold so long sleeves are a must. Why not have Samurai Jack on it? Amazon seller Son of Gotham has quite the variety of styles from $20-40 and save a fiver if you order three or more items!

BUY THE SHIRTS


Bill Murray Tune Squad Jersey

The Ten Obscure Bill Murray Jersey

Space Jam was cool, but a Bill Murray Tune Squad jersey of your own would be cooler. $30 bucks on Etsy and it’s yours, or you can always get a customizable Monstars jersey on there instead.

BUY THE JERSEY


Darth Vader Vans Slip-Ons

The Ten Obscure Darth Vader Shoes

I used to have a pair of Tupac slip-ons that were the talk of the town; these Vader ones might give them a run for their money. If you can find your size they’re only $62.95 on Amazon.

BUY THE VANS


‘Baraka’ Obama Decal

The Ten Obscure Obama Decal

Play on words, Mortal Kombat, the President of the United States of America: do we really need anything else? If you don’t have a Mac they have car decals too. The MacBook decal is only $5.99 on Amazon.

BUY THE DECAL


Elvis Costello Pillow

The Ten Obscure Elvis Costello Pillow

I recently changed my ringback tone to Elvis Costello, not that you care, but this pillow with his famous stereophonic image just looks really nice.

And it’s only $20 on Amazon.

BUY THE PILLOW


New Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon

The Ten Obscure New Crouching Tiger

So Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon is one of my absolute favorite movies, but have you ever wondered what it would look like if it was a Taiwanese TV show with horrible acting and production value? Well for like 8 bucks on Amazon you can; and trust me, you will be entertained.

BUY THE DVD
