With Christmas quickly approaching, countless netizens have been scouring e-commerce websites looking for gifts to give themselves and their loved ones. Well, the internet is a diverse space of users with infinitely unique preferences. There definitely are some items up for sale that surely won’t appeal to everyone but nonetheless are quite interesting. Here are our top picks for weird things you can buy online this 2021.
A Rare Crystal With “Supernatural” Properties
Kicking off this list is supposedly a rare crystal gathered from the Czech Republic. As you can see in the image, each shape is unique, and if you click on any of the options each one is only a 1 of 1. The item description also includes the advertised qualities of the crystal. According to what is written, the tektite is a “holy grail stone” known in ancient times to bring good luck and fulfill wishes due to its synchronicity with life. First-time wearers are likely to experience intense heat, dizziness, or strangeness as a byproduct of the stone’s power. This is definitely an item to look into especially if you are in touch with your spiritual self.
Pocket Dirt Bike
Saw a nice dirt trail that looks good to bike on, but don’t want to commit to the full dirt bike experience? This is probably a viable option for you. This Enduro Pocket Dirt Bike is mostly for kids, but adults can get a kick out of it too. Call up a group of friends to make the impulse purchase with you and you can have your own mini dirt-bike Motocross. As all the bikes brandish the number 69 (nice) upfront, it would be ideal to call dibs on a certain color first.
With only a 49cc engine, it’s quite obvious that this dirt bike isn’t street legal. There’s no need to register this with the LTO. However, that doesn’t mean that it can’t be good fun on smaller private roads or off the beaten path.
Gothic Realistic Skull
Most reviews praise this Skull Model for being realistic. The question remains though – why would you need a realistic skull any time of the year besides the end of October? Whether you have a shrine of skulls in your home, or you need a headpiece for your scarecrow… it’s there, waiting for you.
Thanos Swimwear
The beach is inevitable. At the snap of the finger, you could have your own Thanos swimwear perfect for your next tropical outing. This will help you assert celestial dominance over the multiverse, completely in time for the upcoming Spiderman movie. On a serious note though, this could most probably be one of the most genuinely weird things to buy online in 2021, bar anything illegal. Hopefully, these come in discreet packaging as not to attract unwanted attention.
Anting Anting Lucky Trinket (Triangle)
Anting-antings or lucky charms used to be the realm of sellers in Quiapo and Recto, but you can now buy your very own from the comforts of your home. There’s plenty of anting-anting sellers on the Facebook marketplace that sells everything from this weird, Illuminati symbol that the seller swears will help your luck, to necklaces that claim immunity from bullets, handy for politicos running this election. While we wouldn’t want to test that bulletproof necklace ourselves, there’s plenty of stuff like this that can be bought online if you’re a true believer.
Fighting Rooster
Up in there with Thanos’ face in a speedo for things we never really needed to know you could buy online are fighting roosters. How do these things even get sent? Grab? Lalamove? Does it have a warranty? What if it’s a pacifist? So many questions.
Dried Leaves
There could be many uses for dried leaves. Whether its for the fragrance, or to simmer in tea, or whatever the purpose is, most would have to set out to herbal stores to pick some up. Strangely enough, these can now be found online – over Shopee no less.
Blood Worms
Straight out of a horror movie, the BLOOD title in all caps actually means blood worms. While quite shocking at first glance, these are excellent fish bait. We just couldn’t help but observe the awkward packaging.
