<strong>Vintage mod Mink fur coat espresso color - $125>

Perfect Gift For: Mom.

Here's a pro tip: there are two places where you can score some fine quality but still classy furs: Craigslists and municipal police auctions. And hey, mom just might get lucky and find a ruby pinkie ring in the inside pocket? Or a crack rock -- extra gift!

PICTURE RAISED FLINTLOCK BLUNDERBUSS - $50 (DAVIE)

Perfect Gift For: The high school guidance counselor in your life.

Nothing signals authority like a muzzle loader from 1777.

ALOHA ELVIS FIGURINE !!!GOOD CONDITION - $39 (davie florida)

Perfect Gift For: That cute Starbucks barista who takes your hot coco order every morning.

Because remember that one time when she was asking if you needed extra room for soy milk that one Monday in March and you looked up and she looked up and you locked eyes and "Suspicious Minds" was playing on the Starbucks speakers and you were pretty sure she was doing that smiley eyes thing remember you remember that how could you forget that right right right.

GENERIC VIAGRA - $5 (Dania beach)

Perfect Gift For: Your frugal Uncle Ed.

Everyone has that family member who can't resist a discount or deal . . . even if it means buying penis exploding pills online from someone in Dania Beach. "They work just as good as the original," seller claims.

SAMURAI - $80 (miami fl)

Perfect Gift For: You, you deserve it.

After logging all those hours with family members, you might as well go ahead and treat yourself. Come on, you know you've had your eye on some ancient Japanese replica weaponry for awhile. Just make sure you wait until after the holidays. Don't want to go to Christmas dinner with weaponry nearby . . . too tempting.

Belt Buckles Brand New Military style - $20 (West palm Beach )

Perfect Gift For: Your cousin Billy, the wannabe country singer.

Nothing like a little crotch bling to up somebody's honky tonk game. Extra points for the patriotism.
