NER:: need really unusual gift ideas
We do a secret santa at work, and its a 5 day gifting -
the first 4 days are small $1 gifts and the last day is a $5 gift.
I don't mind spending a little over the price point for the man I picked, but,
he is a quirky guy and the weirder more bizarre stuff i could find the better --
basically any trinkets/toys he'd appreciate -- and he just has an unusual sense of humor so wrapping it weird would be even better...
Who is creative?!
Help me out!
Re: NER:: need really unusual gift ideas
Check out your nearest Dollar Tree...it's full of wacky, tacky and bizarre items!
In what way is he bizarre and weird? That'll help me brainstorm!
(Like - is he antisocial weird, weird nerd, someone who likes the unusual, disturbed, etc.)

My go-to places for quirky gifts are uncommongoods.com, thinkgeek.com, and redenvelope.com. Maybe you could split up a $10 gift, giving smaller elements for the first few days? Of course I can't think of an example.
For really cheap gifts, check out the Dollar Spot at Target - they have a lot of random stuff sometimes.
Edit: Here are a bunch of gifts under $10 from thinkgeek: http://www.thinkgeek.com/interests/giftsunder10/?icpg=leftnav_giftsunder10
thanks for the suggestions ladies --
