We spent the entire year ogling over home theater, lighting control, and a lot of other accoutrements inside the Electronic House. If you want to share the tech love, many of those items can be very useful, very expensive holiday gifts.

Then, there are times when you just want to get a little weird. Weird gifts can get people talking, wincing, and laughing. Of course, they can also be surprising useful.

When it comes to weird gifts, the DIY options are endless. Fortunately, so is the mass-produced mayhem. Weird sometimes means wonderful; sometimes it means crap. We’ve decided to include a little from column A and column B in our selection of Weird Holiday Tech Gifts.

We must have been extra good this year, because we’ve got quite a nice selection. Are we missing one of your funky favorites? Drop us a comment below. In the meantime, check out our list of 12 Weird Holiday Tech Gifts.  To view all the other top tech gift guides by Electronic House, go here.
