My little brother just moved into his first apartment, so I was looking for the perfect home gift for him. I know he would laugh in my face if I showed up with potpourri or a nice towel set, so I knew I would have to really step it up and find something that he would really get a kick out of.
I was pretty pumped when I stumbled upon these awesome Ninja star coat hooks available at ThinkGeek.com. Here’s the really funny description from the site:
“There is one section of Ninja life that is normally neglected in books, and that is a Ninja’s home life. You think they just hang up all their weapons in the closet? Heck no – those are a Ninja’s tools, for life. The Ninja uses his Katana to do everything from butter his bread to separate his laundry (lights from darks). He uses his hand claws to hold corn and peel potatoes. And, he uses his throwing stars for coat hooks. Until you spend your life training in the Ninja arts, we recommend picking up a Ninja Star Coat Hook or two. It’s just safer. Each Ninja Star Coat Hookis made out of super strong, nickel-plated zinc alloy. One star tip is replaced with a screw, so you can just pick where you want it and screw it into your wall. It will look like a Ninja has attacked your office and you beat him so easily that you now mock his attempt by using his own weapons to hold up your coat. Wow, how did you get so awesome? Your Ninja Star Coat Hook will make you look 100% more badass. Promise.”
Naturally, he loved them. So all in all, if you need a home gift for someone who isn’t really the scented candle type, the Ninja Star Coat Hooks could be your best bet.
